• No Free lunches November 19, 2009
  For the nth time I want to reiterate that there are no free lunches… I had written about the spam mail doing rounds in my earlier post: No Freebies here… However I still keep on receiving an average of 1 mail a week about some unseen reward from Ericsson or Bill Gates wanting to share [...]

• The Odd one… November 18, 2009
  On Dhanteras, he had a date with destiny. But, Jugalkishore Jangid, 32, a carpenter chose honesty over greed. When Jangid went to the Punjab National Bank (PNB) ATM near New Cloth Market to withdraw cash and pay his workers for Diwali early on Thursday morning, he was shocked to find that he had suddenly turned into [...]
• Cheese is God! November 18, 2009
  My contention is that Cheese is God. The explanation is pretty simple. Cheese is Milk’s attempt at immortality.

• The “Writer’s” Block! October 20, 2009
  It wasn’t always like this. There was a time, yes sir, when I used to have a million (literally) things to write about and hence was pretty effortless thing to do. My past bears witness that I have never done anything that would require making an effort . However, today it’s been more than [...]
• Journey to… June 4, 2009
  You see the seeds of this thing were planted as far back as July of 2006 (almost two months before I started this blog). We, my post-grad group, wanted to relive the days of the yore and have fun together again. There were many trips that were planned but died a natural death due to [...]
