What goes around comes around. Today, one of my contacts sent me a CV – of a person who I had interviewed four years ago. Why I remember this person, you will come to know from the blogpost that I wrote that very day, and it’s posted below for your reference. It’s rare to find …
2209. 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 say this today of all days? Why didn’t I say this in the 1000th, or 2000th blog post? Well, coz it doesn’t matter. And …
An eventful Sunday, or not, depending on how one views it. A colleague dropped by, and we had an engaging conversation on Bengaluru, food, work, Trump, the war and joint families, not necessarily in that order. The consensus seemed to be that a certain orange-haired man had gone berserk, and left us (and the rest …
A lot has been said about the UAE in the past month. A large section of the western media have sensationalized the issue at hand, and are busy writing obituaries on the Dubai business model, if you can call it that. I wish at least some of them would have taken the trouble to actually …
I recently subscribed to Starzplay again – oddly enough, it was for the T20 finals. And I decided to keep it for a while. Not because I am a huge cricket fan (used to be), but because it’s time now to introduce Keshav to sports and sportsmanship. The best way to do that is to …

And this has been repeated not once, …
You must all be wondering what suddenly changed from 2020. One day we were all fine and cruising through life, and then COVID happened. Well, we overcame that, and then started cruising through life, and now Trump happened. Doesn’t seem logical, does it? Well… Around a couple of years back, I read this intriguing book …
Our second attempt today, to get Keshav’s passport renewal process initiated. The last time we had an appointment, we ran into the biggest storm in a couple of years, so had to reschedule. Today, as we sat in the car, we heard a few massive interception bangs, and then it started raining again, for good …
We humans are complicated. I mean, things can be simple but we tend to make them complicated. We leave things unsaid, tasks undone and people incomplete.
