Commenced not one, but two exciting projects today. One has been on my mind for very long, and I am excited that I have finally found my way of tackling the subject. A subject that contains every answer, and every question as well. The Bhagavad Gita:) The second is Shakespeare ka baap (the father of …
Today was a birthday with a difference. For one, my team made a podcast to convey their wishes. It was unique, heart-touching, and frankly, among the best wishes I have ever received. This was a work day, so well, there was work, then a team lunch and then back home for a catch up with …

Had a meeting today where I discussed a structure with a potential client. We got talking and they asked me about the name of my consultancy – 10 Leaves. Why 10? Why Leaves? They also came to know the name of my son, and liked the fact that it is a unique name, with a …
What do bromance, shopaholic, brunch and romcom have in common? They are all portmanteaus! At the risk of sounding like a certain Tharoor, portmanteaus are obtained by combining two words to make a new one that describes the combination. You may have heard quite a few portmanteaus, but the latest I heard is staycation. No, …
Thandhai Makarkaatrum Nandri AvaiyaththuMundhi Iruppach Cheyal (67) The best thing parents can do for their children is to prepare them stand foremost in the assembly of the learned. पितृदेवातिथीपिता विद्याप्रदानेन पण्डिताग्रेसरं सुतम् ।यदि कुर्यात्सुतस्यैतत् महत् साह्यमुदीर्यते ॥ (६७) पिता करे उपकार यह, जिससे निज संतान ।पंडित-सभा-समाज में, पावे अग्रस्थान ॥ (६७) ತಂದೆಯಾದವನು ತನ್ನ ಮಗನಿಗೆ ಮಾಡುವ …
Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get… Forrest Gump “In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable…” Dwight Eisenhower Pretty much sums up two schools of thought when it comes to planning your life ahead.
