Conducted An India Quiz At Work
The Quiz Club at work was dormant for a while and it was brought back to life with an official (with prizes and all) quiz at the new campus. Our team won the quiz and it was the same team that had won the previous official quiz as well! I was playing with a broken… Continue reading

Gave A Talk On “Hacking For Travel When You Have A Desk Job” at Inverted Passion Unconference
I had been out of the startup/tech events circuit for a while, primarily because of what you’ll see in the post ahead 🙂 and also because it’s usually the same set of people one comes across in Bangalore. But when Paras tweeted about hosting an unconference with an uncommon format and agenda, it seemed quite… Continue reading

Appeared On A Kannada TV Quiz Show!
(The actual event happened nearly a year back, in Feb 2017. This post though, while written a long time back, was lost in the pile of drafts. Any time is a good time to dust up drafts and publish them, isn’t it? Hence this post!) I got a chance to participate in That Antha Heli (loosely translated… Continue reading

Celebrating Christmas in Bangalore: 2012 Edition – Part I
Well, nothing fancy about the 2012 Edition bit in the title. It isn’t that I’ve been celebrating Christmas (while being in Bangalore itself) over the previous years and this post is about the celebrations in 2012.

The Tipu Sultan Trail & The Story of Indian Riches

And long before trekking became as fashionable as it is now, we were traveling to interesting places around Bangalore digging (not literally) for stories and nuggets of history. In fact, a lot of the popular… Continue reading

What Will You Say About Yourself?
One of the trickiest and perhaps the toughest things to do, apart from deciding what to do when stuck in lift moving up and down many floors, is writing about yourself. At any point of time, you never really understand yourself completely. And even if you are under the false impression that you do, you… Continue reading

Why Is Common Sense Not So Common?
A couple of incidents that happened recently got me thinking about our reactions to different situations. Also how, more often than not, we miss the simplest of things because we are not able to focus completely at that particular time. In hindsight, what is called common sense appears to be very common, but somehow we… Continue reading

Putting Pen To Paper, Again
The pen had run out ink. Even if the pen had ink, it had dried long back. Even if there was a pen to write, there was no paper. Even if there was paper, it was all crumpled. Hoping that from now on, there will be enough ink, fresh sheets of paper and a clear… Continue reading

You Can Call Me On My Mobile Phone
No wonder they call it the Xtreme Sports Bar. Because we visit that place bar bar (not just because it’s a bar) and extreme things happen while we are there. For example, Zee Sports is the channel they were playing on the TV screens the first time we went there. And why not, doesn’t that… Continue reading
