Think Tank

Today I happened to read some of my two years old conversations with some other fellow bloggers. And I was surprised at what I read and understood.  
What one of them tried to make me understand in her writing, was really useful and so true. And my subsequent reply to her also appeared ‘wise’ and interesting. [...]

One of my ex-roommates told me a story about his leg injury:  
One fine morning he was walking by the side of the road. Suddenly trouble arrived on wheels and on four legs. When he turned back, he watched in horror a motorbike zooming past him with a pack of dogs chasing it at full speed. [...]

Personal My Mother’s Mother Tomorrow is mothers’ day. I want to write about my nani - my mother’s mother. Some days back, she didn’t get up in the morning.

PersonalMessages from the Kiddo…  I told you about my 2 years old nephew. While on my small stay with him, I learnt many things :) ~*~ Even at his age, he knows the difference between good music and not-so-good music. And his choice of music is good, I share the same.

The Sister act… Personal I am two years younger to my elder sister. When we were young, we fought countless wars to grab the biggest share of our world. Whatever be the format, time or place, we fought it out full throttle and seldom won. The war was drawn out even to the teen years. But when [...]

PersonalMisplaced Pride? The company was paying the highest package on campus till that time. It was a giant – one of the few from India which can challenge any other global company.  Interview started with a wrong note. “Are you proud that you are a Bihari?” When faced with unexpected questions (this one became the most [...]

Your suggestions please  We were undergoing ERP training yesterday. The five days training has been spread through three weekends. A US firm had donated the institute with the latest version of its ERP solution. Different trainers come on different days. Yesterday, two lady trainers took our sessions.

Personal Yesterday was one of the saddest days for me. And this morning was one of the types when we say “Why another morning?” J This post is to register this and make it immortal.  Now I know you will ask what happened. Can I settle this by saying: I lost what I never owned?

What’s up? How do I manage my blog? Many of you don’t know that from Jan 7 to 19, my second trimester exams were on. All papers went well, except corporate finance. You should wonder how could I write and post all during this period. The same phenomenon happened during my first trimester exams, that was again [...]

PersonalNew Year Resolutions o       Time Management: I have followed my heart when it comes to time management, and hence it has restricted my performance academically. I would try to balance things out and bring myself to confirm more with the ‘herd behaviour’. (Don’t worry, I won’t loose my individuality)o       Blog Management: Some point of time, I [...]

PersonalAll about my Gods I often fall in love with people. This is because I always see their goodness. That’s the secret why I have always been in good terms with all – I love them all. There is something great in all of them – even if the guy uses swear words, he may be [...]

PersonalDéjà vu This feeling has come to me many times. There are incidents that happen or places I visit, which give a feeling that I have lived those moments before… There is a sense of recalling the same event from the past. This is called déjà vu.  Long time before, I had had this feeling and [...]

What’s up? French: I am learning French. The 3 months course has ended, and on this Monday there was the last exam. I hope I passed. I had learnt German while I was in engineering.

Missing, Moving, and MBA Possibility of being featured on the homepage of Rediff was the last thing on my mind yesterday. Missing this kind of opportunity though is not the best thing to do! I hope to catch myself there next time. (If you want my number, I can give you; so that next time you [...]

Divinity and MiraclesKumar Rahul Tiwary I have always looked with some awe towards miracles in real life. Not miracles of the nature, but man-made miracles, or chamatkaars. I remember one friend said to me that religion or spirituality is one thing and miracles are another. But I used to argue that as smoke didn’t come without [...]
