We have a close friend who is a musician and a pianist; that was the first time I spent so much time with a musician. Those were my MBA days - so I had time to loiter in one of our residences. And it was on those times when just for a lark - I sang a Bollywood song, and he would ...
Most of us remember playing hide and seek as a kid, where everybody would hide except the one person who was supposed to find others. Imagine if you were the seeker and had to find others - except they could be anywhere in space. Woah! Right? Let's add another dimension to it and...
I just finished reading the book, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. And in case you are wondering, the title is not a CTRL C error but the book's actual title.

WYSIWYG - is the acronym for What You See Is What You Get. In the old days of web design, the web page's appearance is precisely the way you see it in your editing tool. Of course, technology has evolved into apps and so on, but the acronym has remained.

For reasons unfathomable at this point, I had watched Karate Kid sometime ago, and the line that stood out for me from that movie was - 'We think with our eyes.' We see something that feeds into our mind, and we create our lives through that.
It is very much like a computer - yo...
While doing the annual house cleaning, I decided to watch some Netflix to give me company. I was not looking for something particular, so I did a quick browse, and the name 'Watership Down' sounded familiar, and it was an animation with rabbits - I pressed play and settled down t...
I practice Vipassana Meditation(http://dhamma.org) - Vipassana in Pali means "To see things as they are".
And in the book Non Violent Communication(http://www.cnvc.org/) by Marshall Rosenberg he also talks about "Observing without judgment".
At one level it makes perfect se...

It is a cool festival about 'Doing more good' - all t...
Story 1: For almost a year in a row I had two apples for breakfast every day. I would wake up in the morning, use my apple corer, fill up a plastic cup and eat them during the car ride to the office. It was convenient, healthy and kept the doctor away. I don't really care for app...
