Driving : Redmond vs Hyderabad/Delhi

Published on 2012-06-29 13:23:00

So I am currently in Washington state and things here are so huge (including distances), that one has to invariably drive around to reach any place. Public transport is there but too expensive for rupee to dollar convertors like me :)I was a little un-nerved about driving here, mainly because they drive on the wrong side of the road in this place and the compacts here are the B and C segment sedans back home.

Dear Salman Khurshid, we are smarter than you think

Published on 2011-09-08 10:25:00

Just saw a Devil’s advocate program in which Salman Khurshid tells Karan that his viewers wont understand the word ‘euphemism’. Small Note to him : We are smarter than you think ! (As you might discover during the next polls)

Published on 2011-08-06 11:43:00

If you have been feeling that the Indian Govt. is shortchanging citizens with its Lokpal Bill, then you probably are right, have a look at these thought provoking talks by Arvind Kejriwal. Opened my eyes ! Kapil Sibal’s and Digvijay Singh’s comments are aired by all news channels, lets see how many show this!

Google Goggles Ad :)

Published on 2011-07-31 03:39:00

Just found this while spring cleaning my computer, had made this in my sophomore (or was it 3rd) year of college for an inter-college competition. As you might have guessed, we had to design an advertisement for fictional Google goggles. I didn’t win, apparently the ad wasn’t MBA-ish enough. But still thought it was worth sharing. Click for a better view. Disclaimer : The ad was made while I was in college and has nothing to do with my organization's views and is completely a work of fi [..]

The Communicator Syndrome

This is a self reflection post. Here in Office, everyone has the communicator syndrome. What that means is that you ping the person sitting in the Cube next to you instead of getting up and going to talk to them. Technology does make us so lazy. Infa
