And how I re-learnt some life lessons that all kids should have known all along.
Saturday was another great, warm, sunny and calm morning. Which could only lead to one thing … books, umbrella, towels, salsa, guacamole and sunscreen lotion. On, and the sand, surf and water, of course.
An hour into the outing, I decide […]

So we just got to NYC this weekend for some work thats going to take a few days …. and it’s still freezing cold here.
When we had landed here two weeks ago (from India), Vivek et al had convinced us that it was “getting warm” and the cold was just a “only happened this morning” thing.
Here we […]

One of the saddest things for me is to see a bookshop closing.Call me sentimental, but a book shop is supposed to be around for ever … from the time you first discover it to the time you show it to your kid-brother to the time you are too old to walk to it.
This is […]

So this cool ad for Sri Lankan Airlines in Newark’s Penn Station pitched the airline’s routes to … India!
There isn’t even a single mention of it’s destinations to Colombo or other Sri Lankan cities.
Not that I’m complaining, but … what gives?
OTOH … the photos are of a traditional women’s outfit (and hair-do) from different cities/parts […]

So I just wake up .. and realize that the bulk of my dreams last night had to do with iPhones and how to get one (including black-mailing a former boss, and begging uncles). And what I will do with it once I get one and how much of a cool/wow factor it will become.

I’ve just moved to Florida this week … and what a week! For starters, check out our new digs … view google map! The weather’s holding steady in the 20 to 25 degrees centigrade range! And the water’s nice and warm for awesome swimming! And when it’s cloudy, the boardwalk is quiet enough for long […]

The problem with shorter and shorter flights between India and America is that you go from nice and sunny 26 degrees centigrade to frickin’ -1 degrees in under 15 hours.
Nasty, nasty, nasty snow and hail in NYC/NJ. Makes me miss Bangalore soooooo much more.
On, in other news, most probably moving to warn and sunny Florida […]

I recently (ok, almost a month ago) promised more personal posts filled with wild-eyed-excitement. And the last three posts are all related to business, startups, funding, etc. What gives?
Well, for Surabhi and me … our business is our life. Whatever time we’ve had … we’ve spent thinking about our future, about our work and how […]
