Starts with a ride on the Mumbai local – standing at the gate – to soak in the amazing weather, as I rode across the bridge to Vashi – offering a long view of the horizon. Followed by – a drive on the expressway – up the hill in lonavala – long stares into the [...]

On a Year in Mumbai!
Posted in Light Musings, My World, tagged contrast, mumbai, paradox, romance on June 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Just about a year ago, I’d signed the lease for the flat I’m living in right now. The past few days have been in sharp reflection of the time I’ve spent in Mumbai, not as a student this time. The thoughts when I’d come here, the evolution, the hundreds of meetings with dozens of people, [...]
Can Educated India be politically relevant?

Much as there are a whole bunch of things I don’t like or understand about democracy, I won’t engage in arguing for or against it, simply because Democracy is here to stay, whether you and I like it or not. What we do have in our hands, is the implications. Of divisive politics, and of [...]
Of Human Bonding

John Donne once wrote, no man can be an island, all to himself. I wonder, it’s been a while since he wrote it, and perhaps with evolution, humans have learnt the art! Sometimes feel like a live example myself! An island, surrounded by a million other islands, all keeping to themselves, not their blooming flora [...]

Going through some archives, I found a personality test result that I’d saved a few months back on my computer. To test my consistency and the credibility of the test, I took the whole thing again.. (ok.. m not vella, it’s a matter of a few mins) and i wonder whether i should be suprized [...]
Be a Fetcher! Join HDFC

Heavy on logistics.. high on adrenalin.. and for some… high on blood pressure.. the Placement process for summers at the campus seems to me a comprehensive and complicated process.. definitely none that I’ve seen before, and like an alum from bcg said.. like none that i’ll see ever! Not willing to be a part of [...]
OOPS! I did it again!

For the uninitiated, OOPsing is about Opting Out of Placements in the campus. It took two interviews at IITB for me to realize that the jobs are not meant for me.. and i didn’t go to the GD for the next company where I was on the shortlist.. Better sense prevailed and I did not [...]

Felt frustrated.. angry.. helpless.. why don’t they make some RF chips for wallets.. or some GPRS systems.. so you’ll never lose them ! to list whatever’s contained in that wallet! 1. 2000 bucks [...]

Papa passed away on sept 14/06.. and as mamma said.. ‘bahot jaldi bada bana gaye mujhe’ But then.. life.. [...]
Attitude eh? What does he think of himself!
Posted in My World on April 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Yet another batchmate pointed it out that the one thing that he’ll probably remember about me.. is the Attitude. And not referring to attitude in a general sense.. calling it the chilled out attitude or something.. THE AttitudeNow, whether to attribute it to the leo inherent in me… or to the way I’ve come to [...]
