Own your morning, elevate your life. Use the first hour of your day to its fullest potential.
“The Book Talk” – Prologue
Beginning of this year, Kavi (my wife) and I made a resolution to read four quality books that would improve our lives. Now, I must thank Kavi for giving my reading habits a new life. Back in my school and college years, I developed the habit of reading the daily newspaper for hours together. I…
London baby, again
We did it. We kept our promise and visited London again. We had earlier come to London to celebrate the New Year. Read about the trip here. We meant to come back and so we did. This time though, we arrived on a Saturday evening and spent two days catching up with some places we…
Our Anniversary in Northern Ireland
We made it. One year of our marriage. It was a breeze. New interests, funny arguments, umpteen road trips, lots of cooking, a few compromises, and abundant joy – this new partnership has been awesome. Kavi and I chose Northern Ireland to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. This is our 2nd travel blog after our…
A week in London – A tourist heaven
I arrived in Ireland on September 5, 2016. I am from India and Ireland is my first foreign destination. Last 3 years, I was unable to tour other countries for various reasons. I had to repay my educational loans (around €25,000), save up for my wedding and when Kavi (my beloved partner in crime, my…
My little brother Bablu
My brother and I have been together for 22 years now, and the fact is, excepting minor misunderstandings or disagreements, we have hardly fought. Now why I had to state this fact, I do not know. Does this have any semblance to my story below? Not necessarily. My younger brother, Maheshwaran aka Bablu as we…
If old habits die hard, let’s cultivate good ones.
2017 has definitely been a productive cricket season both individually and for the Adamstown Cricket Club (ACC) Team-2. The start was not smooth, the team had lost all 3 of its opening matches. To recover from the setback, finish second in the table and being promoted is quite an achievement. I faltered in the first…
My 100th blog of this month!
Warning! You are driven by the sumptuousness of the title This is how I will use clickbait and give an irrelevant title to my article and entice you into reading an absolutely useless piece of crap that has nothing useful to offer, like this very sentence. Click-baiting tricks were learned at school, when I was…
Would you please delete my Facebook account after I die?
The first link on my Google search for the term “Digital death” was to a website digital death. The tagline reads “YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU. Are you allowing others to claim your DIGITAL assets after you die?” I couldn’t believe my eyes for a split second. Are you even serious? Who would accept…
Master’s in meme creation? Really?
For starters, a meme is an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users, often with slight variations. It is pronounced meem and not mey-mey, so familiarize yourself with the correct usage before we dive deeper. The word meme was coined by Richard Dawkins…
Do you know you have been a curator all your life?
When I sat down to write an article about “curated self”, little did I know about the topic. When dissected, the term obviously refers to ‘self’ and relates to something about caretaking, a custodian or a conservator. I would know about curation from the cricketing term “curator”, a person in charge of deciding, preparing, maintaining…
Learn early, learn best.
During high school, some of my friends had come to play cricket in an adjacent field. I don’t remember much but one of the balls my friend hit landed on the roof of a house that was under construction then. I walked up the stairs and picked the ball, when my neighbor shouted, “get down…
