It’s not enough being vegetarian. No sir. In some parts of the world, you have to specify – no meat, no fish. No chicken even. Yes, vegetables. Yes mushroom. No no, I can eat diary – I am not vegan. Confusing. Restaurant menus do have a customary ‘veggie’ option that is mostly there to demonstrate …
Rohāmrta has his daily pick. One toy, one piece of stuff – can be anything from a spoon to his car. This thing then becomes his obsession of the day, so much so that he carries it to his diaper station, his food table, he even sleeps with it in his hand. And he so …
Today, I visited one of the offices of a very famous CEO in Dubai. The business in itself is quite interesting, but even more interesting is the way that it is run. From the time I approached the reception, to the completion of the transaction, it was one amazing experience. And not because there was …
I had written this a while back, and revisited it today. Was watching Farzi on Prime (Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi) – seems inspired from Breaking Bad and the likes.

All’s well that not only ends well, but goes well as well. Too many wells. And too much concern over nothing. All we needed was Ms. Rachel who attended the ceremony via You Tube and the deed was done in 5 minutes flat. He didn’t flinch, forget about crying or making a fuss. It was …
Chaulam is also called Cūḍākarma (चूडाकर्म) and Cūḍākaraṇam ((चूडाकरणम्) Chudakarana). Cūḍā means tuft (of hair) that is kept on the back side of the head while the remaining part is clean shaven. In tradition it is popularly called “Śikhā”. In Sanskrit the letters “ल (la)” and “ड (ḍa)” are often interchanged. So Caula (चौल) and …
The technology sector is apparently slowing down in the US. The threat of the looming recession, coupled with the larger threat of Artificial Intelligence wiping out some of the larger companies, is playing on investor’s minds. It’s hard to be a public company. It wasn’t this way earlier. Companies were allowed to breathe, to grow …
चूडाकरण (Chudakarana) is one of the 16 samskārās in Sanatana Dharma. Also known as मुण्डन (Mundana), this is when the child receives his or her first haircut.
