None? At all?
2009-09-17 16:01:00 I owe this to y?all because of the previous post I wrote on M&B. In my un-ending quest to master the art of writing a romantic story (irony!) and also because my brain was functioning only at that level, I read this book called ?What I did for Love? (sounds cheesy, doesn?t it? I read ...

Trip to Nowhere
2009-09-01 14:26:00 I initially thought I would call this post ?The unshakeable and the brat?; but then I thought about it – a brat riding the unshakeable and the unshakable riding the brat. Applause applause! Thank you! I am supposed to be the unshakeable. Also, don?t expect a travelogue, it?s not meant to be one. I don?t think ... More About: Trip

Butter chicken for dummies
2009-07-28 18:37:00 Sweet and simple. I made two kgs of this; so take ingredients proportionally. Ever since I moved out of Delhi and Chandigarh, I never got to eat the actual butter chicken. The dorky chefs in even the best restaurants make it like spicy and the gravy looks like a pale orange. I mean, it?s gotta ... More About: Dummies , Chicken , Butter
Growing up with Kevin Arnold
2009-07-27 21:00:00 Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to ...

The next step
2009-07-26 13:31:00 Change is good. But what is important is what brings about the change, and why you want to change. We change for loved ones, or we could change for ourselves. When a company changes its logo, they do it for themselves; when they change the way they offer their services ? they do it for ... More About: Step
Journey so far?
2009-07-19 14:26:00 I couldn?t sleep that night; and was tossing and turning in my bed. I tried keeping two pillows under my head. Nothing seemed to work.

What i could use?.
2009-06-20 15:51:00 A lot of dreams we have are very relevant to what we say during the course of the day, the people we meet, and the incidents that leave an impression. As a sales guy, there is a lot of pressure I face each day, and live another day to talk about it. Last night?s dream was ...

Indian Curry
2009-06-02 20:50:00 While we all see the media hysteria on the racist attacks in Australia, one can?t help but wonder what could have led to this sudden outburst of hate against us.

Out of Office
2009-05-07 16:38:00 One of our friends from work has this really irritating habit of putting Out of office responders, even if it?s just for two hours.

Beauty and the dork
2008-11-24 18:29:00 Let?s be honest. I was not the most sought after guy in school. I was the average guy, with large plastic spectacles, and a hairstyle like the good boys we see in movies.
