Autograph – Puri Jagannath

February 25, 2009

Last week, I got a little ‘active’ on the web. I’ve always been here but the activity has increased for a few reasons: discovered a way to bypass proxy at work, working from 10pm-7am and I NEED something interesting to keep me awake after 4am or so, last before weekend was too boring and I [...]

Thanks Tom, Dick and Harry!

February 17, 2009

And of course to Sally too, for keeping me company this weekend. It would have been worse otherwise! Last weekend was little different after a long time. Disturbed sleep patterns and kinda fatigue all day and night. I blamed it on changed shift/ OFFs and was back on track when the week started. I was [...]

Chicken festival

November 13, 2008

  Yeah, you read it right. It was a chicken festival and not a generic food festival. All you get is chicken, chicken and chicken. [:)]We celebrated the exotic chicken festival at home last Saturday.

A road accident

November 5, 2008

I was a victim of a road accident twice so far. The first time it was in 2002. I was bed ridden for about 3 months, my complete right leg covered with plaster of Paris, with a lot of signatures and ‘get well’ messages. The second time was in 2004. My left foot was wrapped [...]

The slump

October 29, 2008

For the last few weeks, this is the common message I heard everywhere. Of course it’s about the market, stocks, economy and all those financial stuff I’ll probably never understand. It is said there is no cash flow in the market that’s causing the panic in India at least. This is not new for me. [...]

Absenteeism vs. Presenteeism

September 5, 2008

Absenteeism is always a problem for employees and organizations; employees are concerned about leaves, pay check, deadlines, pending work and more, while organizations are concerned about productivity, head count, load balance, presentations, meetings, discussions, goals to meet, decisions to make a lot more. Well, as Dr. Iris, a Canadian doctor observes, there is much bigger [...]

The sunrise effect

July 3, 2008

If God really wanted us to enjoy sunrise, it would occur no later than 10:30 am. -Quotable Quotes from a recent Reader’s Digest edition (can’t recollect the name of the person) I am not sure if I’m looking at a luxury like that. But, for sure I have my own perceptions of the sunrise – [...]

A different board game

December 20, 2007

Chess is the most popular. And I am not sure if carrom is considered as one. But what I am referring to is the inevitable ‘game’ we play on roads – while on the way to work, home or elsewhere. Isn’t it? It obviously should be – or how else do some win and some [...]
