Work Life Balance
Whoever invented the term work-life balance sure spared no expense in trying to highlight how the two are different. While it has been something I've heard off and on during four years of work (yes, its been that long, although - you can take harithekid out of college, but you can't take the college out of harithekid unless you want to perform [...]
Chase Away the Travel Blues
Until recently, short travel (a distance which would at most be equal to the approximate diameter of Bangalore city), if done on a continuous basis was quite a pain, especially due to traffic as well as due to the fact that if the same route was travelled upon repeatedly, there was no novelty associated with that particular route. This was [...]
Why Spoons?
I have recently switched over to eating idly and vada with hands instead of with a spoon. This has been done for some general cheap thrills, until and unless there are extreme case scenarios where I am unable to wash my hands, which case spoon usage is the only way out.

New York City restaurants have recently become health conscious and have begun listing calories of each food item along with its price in the menu. This is to make people think twice before they chow down grub to their hearts' contents. This is also an attempt to prevent people from over-eating and also to ensure that the overall health of the [...]
Blood Donation Fundaes
I have donated blood thrice over the past three years, for very specific reasons. Although I am not someone who personally endorses Corporate Social Responsibility fulfilling drives for various social causes, simply because the only intent with which most companies indulge in CSR activities is to get more media mileage and appeal to the [...]
How Are The Things?
There is this particular person who I have worked with at the office who has a peculiar way of greeting people. He says - "How are the things?". His inclination towards adopting an expression that he's probably heard when abroad and making a totally bastardized version of the same has had me in splits every time he has asked me this [...]
