As I sit down to write this post, I can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. After all, it’s not every day that someone reaches their 999th blog post. It’s a milestone, to be sure, and one that I am proud to have reached. Over the years, I have written about a wide variety …
998. That’s the number of days of continuous blogging since I first started in March 2020. Every single day, without fail. I believe this to be a small personal achievement. Why didn’t I wait till the magic figure of 1000? Well, coz it doesn’t matter. Our minds are tuned to certain numbers – ending in …
And today is the day when a birthday celebrates it’s Rajinikanth:) The release of a movie of Rajnikanth is a festival in itself…from the announcement, to the first look, the decked up theatres, the fan frenzy, and now of course the craze on social media as well.

Well, I assumed deep cleaning would, as the name suggested, be a more elaborate exercise involving a prep reconnaissance mission, a plan of action of …
And just when they were wondering where the Modi wave went, he responded with a tsunami. The best showing EVER, with 156 seats and an unspoken apology for the decimation of the “traveller” and the “freebie”. Closer home, it was Rohāmrtā’s turn (again) to have fever and the cough and cold. I speak to a …
Solving problems. Sounds challenging and exciting right? Depends. On the problem that you claim to solve. A standard question in VC funding lingo is – what is the problem that you are solving? Another is – what are you disrupting? The real question is – are those problems really worth solving? Are they problems at …
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and comments on my post yesterday. The community brain does help! Speaking of brains, I have recently discovered Haruki Murakami. I stopped reading fiction many many years ago – life has many stories as it is – but after sampling Murakami I feel that I have been missing a taste …
I need some help from you guys. Been battling allergy symptoms for a large part of this year, and tried mostly everything. Tablets, steam, nasal sprays, tonics…the issue is that doctors are not able to identify what is causing the allergy. Everything is the same – I haven’t made any drastic changes in eating or …
