Raising a kid

The best thing that you can probably do for your kid is not to always give it the best things in life.

Consulting

Consulting is the art of talking a lot while saying very little.

Being in a governed city for a change

As I was watching the driver navigate the snow plough efficiently around my badly parked car and then leave without asking for bakshish, I realised...

A working city is like a warm blanket on a cold day, when you have it you don't realize its worth.

Hats off to the way Boston is being governed

Dad

It was my Dad's birthday yesterday, first time in eons I have actually wished him on a birthday.

Is it because I understood...
that when he shouted at me he meant me good and didnt mean to insult me
that when he dint to come to nurse my wounds it was because he had to earn to pay for my medicines
that when he dint know the class I was studying it was because working in shifts disorients you


Or because I want my son to remember my birthdays?

Snow & American Life

Snow is a good metaphor for American life....
looks good on movies but one can't live a movie...

Can you?

Bangalore to Boston

Its easier to peddle lies as facts in jazzy powerpoints than to...


Press one's clothes
Drive the wrong side
Wear an itchy inner or carry a painful shiver
Make shopping lists and buy gifts for all the strangers in your life
Multiply by 45
and ofcourse the paper technology

Sometimes wish life was as simple as making powerpoint slides.

Modern Barbarism

I rarely post on current political events. This blog isnt "positioned" as a political opinion one.

Here I make an exception:

I think filmed lynching and its endless broadcast is worse than killing by stoning.

Read this and decide which is civilization and which is barbaric.

Reminds me of Sam bashing bumper sticker I saw somewhere - "Be nice to America, do what we wish, or we will bring democracy to you."
