As the days and months speed by, I find myself working through the weeks and the weekends as well. I don’t mind as long as the work is exciting and we are building new things, but a downside is that I hardly recall the dates or days – currently my measure of time is Ekadashi …
10 minutes to go. A new Apple event, a new CEO, and as rumor has it – Apple’s first foldable! I love their products, but off late, all their offerings have been incremental changes, rather than the path-setting innovation that once came out of their stables. The rumored foldable, while new to Apple, has seen …
One thing that people from my generation experienced, and well, was the quintessential Indian train journey. Not the AC 2 Tier/3 Tier version. The 2nd class sleeper. The reservation list pasted outside the bogie – finding yours, and then searching your name to confirm the allotted seats. Climbing in, excited when you found yourself at …
The lost art of letter writing. Yes, this was an art. And not just the words – from the selection of the paper, to the postage stamps…the practice of trudging down to the nearest post office (or post box) and dropping it into the tiny slot – then sticking your hand in to see if …
Does AI end up making work and life easy, or do you just add more to the queue? A couple of conversations at a birthday party that I took Keshav to, and the inevitable question on everyone’s lips was – what do you think about AI? Will it take our jobs? I’m fortunate enough to …

Every year on this day, the post remains the same. Sri Krishna Janmashtami is one day that I feel at peace. Actually I feel ecstatic, and at peace, and joyful, and content all at the same time. Somehow I think that it’s the closest that I’ve got to bliss, and the funny part is that …
Keshav has recently developed a liking to the game of Snakes and Ladders. However, unlike us adults (or older kids), the objective seems less about getting to 100, and more about who follows who on the board, and who gets bitten by the snake. Oddly enough, he is most excited when he gets bitten and …
