The Story of the Lost Boarding Pass
The year in review series is being interrupted by a special blooper moments blogpost that begs to be written, for the situation and circumstances are appropriate. I am sitting at the Hyderabad airport and mooching off on the Tata Indicom free wi-fi to fondly recollect yet another airport adventure. Every trip to an airport seems to bring with [...]
2010: The year that was – Part 1
I'd written a post at the start of last year to document personal milestones / accomplishments / fun things that took place in my life in 2009 and when I look back on it, I realize that the content in that post brings back memories of times that have been relegated to the back of my head, primarily due to other, more immediate things that seem to [...]
Where’s Waldo?
Turns out, I've now got a new nickname courtesy of the new batch of exchange students that got to campus in term 7 at ISB. I'm supposedly Waldo, this tall, thin character with big glasses and a striped sweat-shirt, which just about describes how I looked the first evening our flat-mates threw a party last week, where these students from various [...]
2009: The Year That Was
2009 has been quite a year for me and when I am long gone and my great-great-grand kids want to read what I've written (yeah, your great-great-gramps is teh_pwnage!), they need to be shown how cool I was, even if it means writing something completely untrue and fabricated, as some part of this post might turn out to be. Having said that, most [...]

It is only a handful of relatives that you actually intend on keeping in touch with and are able to reconnect with in a jiffy even eons after having met last. Relatives do [...]
Mad Season
It is survey time on campus. Everyone worth his / her salt is designing a survey and sending it out. This is like an acid test to determine whether the extensive network of friends that you can call on at the drop of a hat will actually come through when you need necessary, relevant and sufficient data to help achieve survey objectives. Not [...]
Garden State
My claim to fame, at this point in time seems to be the fact that I share birthdays with Zach Braff, and with only eight years of a head start, he's achieved more than I think I ever will in this life of mine. That is pretty much the only thing that has gone good in an otherwise somber period of life, where a lackluster performance in [...]
The Cold Call
Two enterprising classmates of mine, Reetu Srivastava and Pruthviraj Haral have come up with this super-stud brilliant comic strip which has been appropriately titled 'The Cold Call', which documents life on campus. Their refreshing cynicism and their bold attempts at highlighting and making fun of all the absurd things that sometimes go on on [...]
