(1)If you compare a full photograph of me in graduation and now you will see a stark difference. It is the growing retained earnings near the body parts surrounding my belly. Thanks largely to my SE job. I never felt the need to stand and walk from my swivel chair. Many of my friends told […]

After coming here the meaning of weekend blurred a lot. We have seen some crazy weeks in both the terms. Day before yesterday was different experience altogether. Unlike weekends for most people living in India, certain sample of hazaar people celebrate it in a different way. Their weekend starts on Saturday afternoon and ends on […]

Wat a sad news 🙁 “The vocalist died peacefully in her sleep,” Dr C V Krishnaswamy, who treated her at the St Isabel hospital, told PTI. I am a very great fan of her.

It is ‘Marketing Research’. 🙂 Well, there is nothing to be pissed off about it. Infact the story of my stint with marketing research dates back to day […]

Being an intuitive marketer that i am, i never consulted the kotler for furthering my marketing gyaan. so when the grades came i was neither interested in my positioning in the class nor i am hurrying towards the board. but there are few things in life […]

Well, upon looking at the three words Marcovian Queues, Arranged Marriage and Forefathers any sane person (Aah!, that excluded all the managers in the world :D) would say that they are totally unconnected. Today, i am here to prove that indeed they have a strong relationship among themselves. So much so that, the relationship is […]

Looks like my comp is sleeping more than what i do these days.have a look at the system task manager. Last time i have logged in (ie restarted) my box was on November 10. Going by the numbers in the above exhibit my comp is sleeping roughly 12 hours a day. While poor me is […]

Read the Part I here | Read the Part II here 5:30we have started back to the place called as IIM Indore. This time due to dumb luck i got a seat in the qualis where all the hard core tams are there. I was sitting in the middle of the middle seat. You can […]

Read Part I here. After visiting the mosque we visited the RAM MANDIR. The mandir as such has got no historical significance. But the strange architecture of the houses around and inside the mandir caught my eye. the houses were very old. Most of them just looked like my grandmothers earlier house. the window panes, […]
