Cubicle Neighbours
As cubicle neighbours come, this one is as peculiar as they get. There is someone who sits in my proximity at the office who has a dialogue from a Gult (Telugu, for those woefully uninitiated) movie as his cell phone ringtone, complete with background music and all. The ring tone begins with some female talking in a flirtatious voice, followed by [...]
Notes about Nothing – Work Anniversaries
Its official now, I've spent more time outside college than I did within it. Not that I attended too many classes and all that, but I guess I've been a Corporate Ho longer than I was an undergrad student. Four years have passed since I graduated from being a dorky engineering graduate to a dorky engineer who had to earn his living. This [...]
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 [...]
The Car Boot Prank
Sometimes the lunch time conversations at the office result in brilliant ideas, that I can't get enough of patting my own back about.

Over recent times, [...]

A week used to [...]
Things that make you go…..whoa!!!
There are wonderful things that a software engineer in a happening IT company gets to see in Bangalore. I generally equate women, specially the pretty ones with wonderful things. Of course, it is implicitly understood that wonderful things and IT company recruitment policies are mutually exclusive.On an average, Mangalorean girls are the prettiest [...]
The day the music came back to life
Tony Fadell is a God. An absolute God.Most of us might not really know who he is, but trust me, we have a lot to thank him for.Next in line is a gentleman named Jonathan Ive. He is a God too, made one because of Tony Fadell.I guess at this point in time, if you've been irritated enough for my not having elaborated their virtues, you're probably [...]
The day the music died….
Music has been an integral part of my identity, for various reasons, which I choose not to elucidate, for being labelled a megalomaniac. Not a single instance has passed by when I have not been thankful for the music in my life, whenever I have had the opportunities to indulge myself in exquisite aural pleasure. It was pretty much smooth sailing [...]
