Don’t we see nostalgic posts of this kind every other day? On Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and oddly enough, even on LinkedIn. The kind which romanticizes the past and demonizes the present, and shudders at the thought of the future. I have done it too, and I don’t consider it wrong at all. After all, things …
As I logged into LinkedIn a couple of days back, it gave me an option to create newsletters (and run them on a regular basis). The ever-curious me decided to have a go. And so I headed to Canva, made a banner, thought of a name (a bit of this…and a bit of that…) and …

Where did all our innocence go? When did it disappear, only to be replaced by so-called knowledge? As I see Keshav grow in front of my eyes, I can only but fear the day when he loses his innocence…actually, this would be a process, and not a sudden change, but I can see it happening …

May 7th it is. When the new set of iPads release. Count me in:) Still excited about what comes out of the Apple stable. Will it be the same next year? Lets see. A lot depends on the much-touted AI features that are rumored to be rolled out with iOS18 – and the implementation of …
“My king, what is there to think about? He should be killed! It is said… हीनः शत्रुर् निहन्तव्यो यावन् न बलवान् भवेत् ।प्राप्त-स्व-पौरुष-बलः पश्चाद् भवति दुर्जयः ॥ १३० ॥ hīnaḥ śatrur nihantavyo yāvan na balavān bhavet |prāpta-sva-pauruṣa-balaḥ paścād bhavati durjayaḥ || 130 || An enemy that is weak should be killed immediately, he should not be given …
The ‘doctor’ is at it again. If you don’t know what I am talking about, do read a previous post of mine that I have pasted below. Anyway, so the ‘doctor’ – something that he painstakingly ensures that one is made aware of, was recently on LinkedIn feeling humbled and thankful and gracious for being …
Today is the 30th death anniversary of Sosai Masutatsu Ōyama, the grandmaster of Kyokushin Karate.
