Can enthusiasm and discipline go hand in hand? Can an urging curiosity be always be manageable? Can embarrassment we feel at one moment of life; would amuse us later on? Experience sometime scares us to take risk and acts against innovation and hence I believe amateur professionals are more enterprising. It was appearing a threat to my father’s reputation, a painful incident that I never thought

Sometime back, I enjoyed a corporate lunch in a Rajdhani restaurant. This is a chain of restaurant in the country famous for serving strictly vegetarian food. It rarely happens that I dine outside in vegetarian mode. To me, dinning is a celebration. Moreover, I have been grown up in an environment where non vegetarian food is considered as a guest who is not-so-welcomed frequently. However when

Let me confess that I have rejected the idea of purchasing this book after going through first few pages. It was giving me impression that this book was yet another critic on Mahabharata. Though, I had a vague understanding in my mind that it is a work of Gurcharan Das, so there must be something beyond what I was able to perceive. This made me to go to strand book stall in my company several

Though there are countless such occasions where the narration of the story let the readers feel what would have actually happened, however, I am quoting one such incident below to demonstrate the story telling skill of the author (it should not be considered as best part of story): “Downstairs, the beating began. To Laila, the sounds she heard were those of a methodological, familiar proceeding.

When we go through a book, when we read a poetry, when we see a nice painting or scripture or when we see a cartoon, deep inside our mind, we get a pleasure which is not available otherwise. Pleasure of satisfaction after reading poetry is different from pleasure of listening a lovable song. The author of a book, a poet, a painter and a cartoonist all of them are artists. Overwhelmed by the

First Email 30-04-1997Los Angeles, USADear Sujatha;My flight was on right time and I have just checked into my hotel in Los Angeles. My room is on 38th floor. There are still two more floors above this. While writing this email, I can see the entire downtown of LA, the beautiful landscape, the network of roads and speedy vehicle on it from the window. Even before taking a coffee, I started typing

It was a dimly lit street when I got down from my company bus, It was raining really cats and dogs. I rushed to the nearest kiosk. There were two other such small shops. It was already 8:00PM, rain did not affect at all the schedule IT companies buses. IT professionals were getting down from the buses. There were almost twenty people waiting there, I noticed, for the rain to be over in the

Wednesdays have been most promising day in my corporate life. While hangover of “full formals” days still remains there, hope of coming weekends always keep luring me. Prepared for untimely yet highly desirable thunderstorm and rain, I boarded the bus. I was the last, in fact, to board. I tried looking for a convenient window seat, but settle my mind to the middle one seemingly vacant on the

The recession is really over. Did you not notice the chaos on the hosur road? especially on Bommanhalli junction. You have “all the rights” to argue with me about the validity of this statement. What is the relationship between hosur road and recession? When I came to Bangalore in mid 2006, market was at its peak. Sensex was roaring to cross 20,000 landmark.

What would happen if Sachin Tendulkar appears as lead hero in a bolywood masalaa movie. What would happen if Dr. Abdul Kalam starts playing a cricket match in eden garden. What would happen if Mrs Sonia Gandhi appears in saas-bahu serial in a lead role. Yes that movie would be the biggest hit. It will break all records at the box office. The entire Eden Garden would be jam packed full to see a

I am lagging behind my blog schedule. I have so many experiences which I cannot afford to miss putting them on this blog. Our company had established a research center in University of southern California (USC). I was part of the team Aurora who were in Los Angeles for a technology road show, an annual program of this research center. Most of the customers of my company are from North America and

Finally got the time to pen down my experience of Vaishno Devi Tour of January 23rd 2009. After getting down in Delhi in early morning of 21st January 2009, I did finish some of my pending official work by 13:00 hours, went to Bahadurgarh and return back at 09:30 PM to catch Delhi Jammu special train. I was the 4th passenger in AC third tier and luckily the person just above my berth was a

Thanks to the depressed social and atmospheric condition of United States, I did not get opportunity to fulfill my talkative appetite. Yes, people from the US socialize only in the clubs. Though you will always be flooded with the hello and hi even by strangers. I am stating this because I had very bad experience. Here, is the first example. In last week of October, I visited a team of scientist

It has been 13 years, since, I had taken breakfast regularly. I completely abandoned the idea of breakfast and I am sure, I never took it in this millennium.

It has been 13 years, since I had taken breakfast regularly. I had completely abandoned the idea of breakfast and I am sure, I had never taken breakfast at least in this millennium. When I was in school in late 80's my routine was like this, I use to wake up at 05:30 AM, got myself ready at 06:00AM, breakfast at 06:30AM, mathematics tuition from 07:00AM to 08:30AM.

So, when Columbus started his voyage to find India, he incidentally discovered America. But he did not stopped at America and kept moving ahead. Finally he reached the place where he departed initially. He was wondering, he traveled so much but why he reached that departure point. Later, he realized the world is round. In ancient time many people across the globe traveled to India for one reason

For foreign visitors: Believe me, the first time when I saw Leelawati, a heritage book of mathematics written in ancient India, I was astonished. This book has more than 500 pages, written purely in Sanskrit verses. Its language is so brilliant that you will not accept it readily, that this is a book of mathematics, a spherical trigonometry in particular, rather it will appear to you as an epic,

It was a fine breezy morning when the security personnel of one of the customer of my company in Pittsburgh, PA, USA returned back with wide smile on his face. It was not the simple smile as it seems though; rather it was the mixed reaction (not in proportion) of his inability to pronounce my name and his ability to find it in his computer database thereby giving me permission to enter into their

Out of eight berths in the compartment, 5 were occupied by 3 girls and 2 boys in their early 20’s, another was for single passive stranger, yet another for one old man in his early 60’s with vibrant personality and the remaining one left for me.

वैसे तो जिन्दगी मे बहुत ऐसे मौके आते हैं जब हम अपने आपको भाग्यशाली समझ सकते हैं लेकिन कल का नजारा ही कुछ और था. मौका था एक लेक्चर सुनने का और हम अपने को भाग्यशाली समझ बैठे थे. समझे भी क्यों नहीं. मेरे सामने खडे थे १९८५ के भौतिकी विषय का नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता, प्रोफ़ेसर क्लौस वौन क्लिटज़िन्ग.

रात के साढे दस बजे इंस्टीट्यूट के मुख्य परिसर के सामने घास के मैदान मे बैठा कुछ सोच रहा था, बल्कि प्राक्रितिक हवा का आनन्द ले रहा था. सामने लिखा लम्बे बोर्ड पर लिखा था "इन्डियन इंस्टीट्यूट आफ़ टेक्नोलोजी, डेडिकेटेड टू द सर्विस आफ़ नेशन" लगा कितना प्रासंगिक एवम सत्य है ये वाक्य???.खास तौर पर "डेडिकेटेड" शब्द तो ४५ डीग्री उल्टा लटका था जो मेरे मन के शंकाओं को और ज्यादा बलवान कर रहा था. इतना ही नहीं

बचपन से लिखने का शौक है. पहले डायरी के पन्ने काला करता था अब की बोर्ड पर ऊंगलीयाँ टपर टपर करती है. अफस्यानी व्यस्तता मे भी लिखने का समय निकाल ही लेता हूँ. बचपन मे सोचता था कि लेखक बनूंगा. लेकिन पिताजी के डाँट ने ईन्जीनियर बना दिया. मेरा दिमाग तो पिताजी की बात मान लिया लेकिन दिल को पिताजी का क्या परवाह. पिताजी का परवाह किए बगैर मुआ ना जाने कौन कौन सा गुल खिलाया. मुआ दिल का क्या ? गुल तो खिलाता ही
