This is a sequel to the post: can a common man afford to waste time in looking inside? We see well to do people who have never explicitly tried practicing any inner silence, though there is no one who would never have inadvertently atleast to some extent, doing very well in general (as a result…
Somewhat inspired by this article The first few hours, I thought I’d write down some notes as well just for the record, elaborating on some emails. For nine months, my son has been part of his mother. They’ve been in the most intimate contact with each other. She knows when he was kicking around, when he’s…
In 1997 when I was to take engineering, I was pretty sure I wanted to get into information technology. It had started with my interest in video games, but eventually I wanted to really do something about the digital divide, I wanted to empower the remotest people with instant information from around the world relevant…
Sometimes we need to really ramp up during a critical phase, getting different teams to work together. That’s where a war room comes into picture. Below are excerpts from some web pages. Working Together In “War Rooms” Doubles Teams’ Productivity, University Of Michigan Researchers Find Teams of workers that labored together for several months in…
I am truly priviledged about how this little fellow had chosen us to take care of him. In a way, just to be wild and imaginative, I feel reunited with some great friend of the past life who has come to me again to teach many things!

The darshan – where you can walk past the diety (in this case, Goddess Annapoorneshwari) as…
Today marks a year’s completion of married life. Having wished others countless number of times, this was the first time I ever celebrated my own wedding anniversary!
We lived in a joint family, and all my cousins – though they’re all settled abroad (mostly US) now, are like my own brothers and sisters, and our bond has remained intact over time. Was awakened to the news on Saturday that my cousin brother Dinesh, hardly 41 – has expired in a fatal car…
I’d speculated earlier that in a way, humanity is gasping for breath being swept around in a tsunami everyday (just a metaphor), but of course that’s probably not very easy to digest. Most of us would hardly ever admit that there really is any real problem, esp if we have accumulated the opinion over age…
In my schooldays during the vacation, I’d occasionally complain to Thatha (grandpa) “I’m bored” And he’d reply… “what is that bored, I say… tell me what do you mean by boredom?” What a strange question… I’d start to explain… but couldn’t quite get the words right. It was an interesting question, I never really managed…
