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 valley [...]

Wisdom Tooth Hurts…

It’s weird, I’d initiated this post last year and I dont’ remember the context! The title sure seems interesting enough for me to rethink and start a journey through my years of having gained wisdom and how I don’t like it so much!
These might sound like rants of the angst, but well, first hand learning!

The Joys of Sadism
Posted in Zindagi Rocks on May 11, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Whoever thought that sadism was a vice perhaps didn’t comprehensively look at all of the many interesting aspects of it.
There might be a crude form which would find its ally in black humor where you laugh at someone’s misery. But I’m talking of a different kind of sadism here. The one that I would enjoy [...]
Trophies of the Mind!
Posted in Zindagi Rocks on May 11, 2007 | 4 Comments »
From the top of the head, the first impression that a ‘mental trophy’ might give would be pretty vague I guess. That’s what it was to me at least, when I heard it for the first time on an adventure show on the TV, when a guy was talking about his experience at skydiving.

An Ode to Melancholy
Posted in Zindagi Rocks on March 7, 2007 | 4 Comments »
The title is inspired by a John Keats poem, the painting on the left is titled ‘Life’s toying with Me’ and this ode is basically inspired by a few friends who’ve been having tough time in life. Somehow, when one thing goes wrong, everything else has to fall apart too at the same [...]
Being Conscious…
Posted in Zindagi Rocks on December 12, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
The first definition of Consciousness says its the state of being conscious; awareness of one’s own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.
Extending it beyond your own existence, it’s about the awareness of the impact of your existence, and it’s this consciousness that causes you to do more than just existing and start living. Given that we’ve [...]
Of Ethics and Business!
Posted in Zindagi Rocks on December 12, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
For most Bschoolers, more so for people who have worked before, and unlike me, have seen the business world from the inside, the two words just don’t go together! Ethics exist only on paper, they would say. That’s what I raised as my question in the first of our classes on ‘Business Ethics’ and had [...]

” The foundation of everything is love”
Have moved on from the romantic form of love to its broader manifestations.. happened to run into the home page of The Foundation, an NGO floated by Rahul Bose. It can be reached on the weblink stated above.
Had left an open ended thought as to what success in each [...]

Professional : This shall encompass your professionals SOP, whatever you want to do in life, be the CEO, or the decision maker.. basically whatever you [...]
Who Dares Wins!
Posted in Zindagi Rocks on November 19, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Let me forewarn that this is not a critique on AXN’s popular show where Mike Whitney would have us believe that it’s a daring thing to be able to swallow what looked like roosters’ balls in a gulp. This is about the general emphasis on daring that’s laid down time and again as a rather [...]
