I’m getting old. Mentally. It sucks.

I didn’t know that my business casual, but not-too-casual, look already had a name in some circles. Variously, it’s known as the Obama look or the tieless look.
It’s basically a partially matched sports jacket and slacks with lighter coloured shirts, minus the tie and the collar button undone. For extremely formal occasions (like weddings or […]

Still, take a peek at this “I feel like this too” article by Vijay Prashad titled “Letter to a Young American Hindu“
Though, why title it and limit it to an American Hindu?
I identify with so much of the article, […]

So I’m reading some random blogs, and come across this jewel written by Arvinder.
Basically, it’s the description of a software engineer at an outsourcing company in India asking for vacation/time-off to go visit his parents.
Read the entire entry titled “Leave!!!“.
