• 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.

• 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 [...]
