Today is Rohāmrta’s first English birthday. One year back – he arrived in this world, a bit earlier than anticipated. Was scheduled to come on Tuesday, the 2nd of February, but he decided that he couldn’t wait anymore, and besides, his father’s nakshatra was on 1st, not 2nd. And his father is known to be …
A lot of talk about money today. India’s budget is to be announced tomorrow. Personally, the only thing the middle class used to look for (and still does) were tax cuts and better allowances. However, the biggest elephant in the room (besides the BSP) is taxation on agro income. Which does not seem to be …
Today was a day of play. The first concerned an NPC, and the second – a slammer of Grands. If I am not making any sense right now, do forgive me. We just managed to feed the kid, a feat that is a Grand Slam in itself. Ok, so I watched Free Guy – Ryan …
Open any new site today. The ratio is roughly 30/70. That is, 30% of actual news, and 70% clickbait and tabloid-type articles. Top clickbaits include Bollywood holidaying in Maldives, although I am very curious to know who takes along professional photographers to holidays and even worse, honeymoons.

Not me, that’s Kapil Sharma’s new show on Netflix. Was good (mostly), and ended with a beautiful English song, but what got me thinking is… I’m not done yet… Every journey has an end, and that’s when you realize that the journey itself was more enjoyable than the destination. Like my journey to the black …
It’s funny how much our surroundings influence our emotions. Our joys and sorrows, likes and dislikes are colored by our environment so much that often we just let our surroundings dictate our course. We go along with “public” feelings until we no longer even know our own true aspirations. We become a stranger to ourselves, …
After yesterday’s article, some people messaged me…some agreed, some disagreed. But the consensus was that it sounds good in theory, but how does one go about it? My answer is very simple. Rewind to 20-30 years back. Think of the businesses that you knew in your neighborhood. From the grocer, to the chemist, the repair …
What is the objective of a business? To make profit, you may say. Of course. No successful business runs at a loss. But how much profit? Now, that’s the question. And if you say “as much as possible”, then I may just disagree with you. The startup craze has brought about new terminology, the most …
A big launch today. We made forays into the unknown, a very different field that few, if any, of my kind have ventured into. Most of my tribe stick to the traditional, few go a bit further, but we have taken a giant leap. Not really knowing how it will pan out. But then, why …
Someone makes a wonderful dish. It is right up there with the best you’ve ever tasted, and you can’t have enough of it. “Give me the recipe!”, you say. “I want to make it at home, just this way…” In science, an experiment consists of a set of inputs, acted upon to result in a …
