Today is that day when everything planned turned out from bad to worse. It started off right after 0000hrs when I was woken up for a birthday celebration. This completely killed my sleep and was then awake until 4:30 am looking at different websites related to doctoral research in education and technology. As usual I found very little relevant articles and data for my project. And little did I

It was after coming to IIT that I started hearing this term - Jugaad, more often. Loosely it means to make arrangements for some thing to be done/obtained. And very rightly Indians have been an expert in Jugaad for several years and extrapolating a bit further, the current lot of students. This will include me too, as I know myself that I am no exception. Some times this makes me wonder whether

After an enthralling cricket match yesterday evening I came back, all tired and exhausted just by the mere mental exhaustion off the field. I had no mood to study and wanted to just relax myself fully. It was after this that I started watching Invictus. I couldn't complete it yesterday night but when I watched the whole movie today, I found the emotions similar to the one I felt on field

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." "I don't much care where –" "Then it doesn't matter which way you go.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland    This quote sums up answers to many of  questions that  I was asking myself for quite some time.

I have sometimes wondered why am I not tagging my posts. Ideally this would have helped me in organizing the thoughts that I put on the (virtual) paper. But coming to think of it now, throughout my life I am like this. I never feel like organizing myself and am always able to find some new directions within the mess. And again I have come to a juncture where I have to decide on something pretty

Never knew till this moment that Meena Kumari was a fine Urdu poet. Listening to her Ghazals now in Youtube. I never really was a fan of the tragedy queen, and my favourites from the black and white era remain Nargis and Madhubala. And now listening to the seductive voice of Meena Kumari, my respect for her grows and what fine lyrics too. The video is uploaded for anyone interested.

I barely recall what happened today. The victory in Utkarsh was slowly sinking down and I find myself explaining the Bamboo house details to everyone. Amidst all the cheer, the grim reality that the department agenda and students mindset are miles apart gives me greater pain. I was feeling like I was standing bare naked amongst the public, fully aware of my nudity. And I feel good that I went

Two days ago, had an amazing experience watching the Kings in Concert - Hariharan and Shankar Mahadevan. Pure delight and worth every penny that I spent for getting the ticket and reaching there. Some of the soul-stirring and rhythmic that both these maestros have delivered in their career, in a span of 3 hours, is the least that you can ask for while going for such a concert. And Hariharan

The Powai Temple Utsavam was the major highlight yesterday. Its been long since I have been that close to the percussion and horns. Felt really nostalgic, and the fact that I may miss the Angamaly one this year made it even more special. I think I spent nearly 2 quality hours inside the temple which made me feel real good. A major let down was the dropping of IDC course. I don't know how

It has been a tumultuous December for me. And majority of the blame lies with me as I am still unsure of taking up responsibilities.Life has never wanted so many answers out of me and this is what I think Growing Up feels like. I wanted to share all my feelings everyday, but the addiction to Social Networking had taken its toll. But all these have become history with the close of 2011.

Call it coincidence/fate/destiny but the birth of Jesus was birth of Avatar for me. While booking for IMAX ticket last week I knew that Xmas eve would be spent watching Avatar but never in the wildest of imagination had I imagined that it could become like this.As the entire episode was nothing short of a cinema story in itself let me bring in the Screenplay writer inside me to describe it.(

I am inherently lazy person who never cares for others as long as he is comfortable. This was even more evident during the past few days. I never had a clear cut idea on what my future should be and nor have it now. Just think that I am currently in a confused state of mind. What to do and What not to??

I still remember those days when teachers used to appoint class leaders to make a note of students who talk in the class when she/he moves away from class after getting a quick call from office or somewhere. Well, those were the days when students had a sincere respect and fear for the teacher. And I believe, even when I completed my college education nearly 3 years back, students never were

Just 51 days left in this year and I am jotting down just now. Seriously, so much has happened during these 314 days and I failed to update myself with even a single info. Pretty disheartening. Even more frustrating, if I can put it right. I always wanted to unburden my mind every day but end up being back in square One after a continuous 2-3 days of blogging.This time was however I have created

Sometimes I feel as a heartless individual while looking at what is happening all over the world. Firstly, for the silly reason that I am not being affected by all these, till now. And secondly because I strongly believe whatever is happening is for a cause. A closer peep into the history shows us that this entire life is nothing but a vicious circle.

Either it is a coincidence or fate, but I started my career in a team named OASIS and here I am writing this blog from the land of deserts and Oasis's.

It has been a long time since I have sincerely sat infront of a system to scrap in my thoughts. I wouldnt blame my hectic schedule for the past few months for this. Infact, I didnt feel like updating the dashboard, to be frank. There was nothing worthwhile happening and my mind was all muddled up. I guess I am able to think more freely now.
