Nothing – there isnt anything that I like about Delhi! —- So Ruchi and I are out for a movie, part of our busy jobless life schedule, that we are approached by this 21-yr old. The presence of the camera guy suggests that she is a journo and yes, she turns out to be one! [...]
I love the month of October. It has a festive feel to itself, with the weather changing, the discounts increasing, Dusshera and Durga Puja celebrations.

Look… If you had… one shot… or one opportunity… To seize everything you ever wanted… one moment… Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? It was in the summer of 2003 that I first heard Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”. Amongst multiple things that I loved about the song (including the fact that one of [...]
Interestingly, in an interview to a website in 2002, he was asked, “Where do you see yourself 10 years down the line?” Narang had replied, “Given the amount I smoke, I should be dead.” If the smoke didnt take him down, something else did.

I have a feeling that this is not genuine (the Time Magazine bit), but heck, irrespective of who has written this…it still is one of the best captures of what Sachin is all about!

Very Interesting Delivery model that ISB has introduced today…the PGPMAX (Post Graduate Programme in Management for Senior Executives) Basically the program is designed on a schedule that minimises disruption of work and personal pursuits.

Jonathan Littman and Marc Hershon, authors of I Hate People have come up with one of those unorthodox Interview Tests that could give you insights (non-technical though) into the personality of the individual. “Observe how the candidate crosses the street” And honestly, my experience so far with hiring, is that Attitude is all that matters! [...]
…i hope never…(or for that matter I hope someday!)… But this is what Mr. Thackeray (no, the old almost dead one…not the young ‘always orgasming’ one!) believes Sachin has done by commenting that “Mumbai is part of India” “There was no need for him to take a cheeky single by making such remarks,” Sena mouthpiece [...]
Hemant Mehta wonderfully creates a flowchart to determine which Religion should one follow! While I wish there didnt exist a need for religion to exist alltogether, the flowchart is nonetheless quite a nice attempt. Where do you lie?
Wishing my readers a joyous and prosperous Diwali 2009 (which basically means I am wishing my own self…does anyone else ever come to this site?)

the morning brought in news of two (atleast for me) sudden demises. Anil Wilson, former principal at St. Stephen’s and Michael Jackson passed away… Now..I am a hindu graduate and to even talk good about Ste-vens is like Shahrukh stating that Aamir is a better actor…which btw he is…as is hindu better than ste-vens! :) [...]

Since writing on the walls is done neither for critical acclaim, nor financial rewards…it remains the purest form of artdiscuss
While I wander in the streets of NY…hunting for a building less than 5 storeys high…here is a fantastic quote i read this morning… “People loved their horses, too.

Actually…let me begin with the appeal(s)… 1. I appeal to all the thousands of visitors to my blog…averaging 23 in number per day…out of which 19 spend 0.00 minutes on the blog…plz forgive me for not being regular with the blog…! PS: The facts above are real…but am surprised…how can anyone measure the time as [...]
I have to thank SL for the song…its truly the best gift she could have given me… at 12.49am…after you have been up for 20 hrs…and have gone without food for 8 hrs…the power of music is such that it forces you to write…to express…to feel… i never knew i would say this so soon…but [...]
