Sorry to shamelessly steal the slogan of an SUV, but this is the first thing that popped up in my mind as I sat down to write this post. What I’ve got here is a little image that should serve as an inspiration to all geeks and non-geeks alike. I don’t know if anything similar [...]
Read On No CommentsFive months in Chennai just flew by, albeit at the pace of a kiwi with one wing strapped behind its back. The final few days in Chennai were quite eventful, with me and my team having to toil in order to meet the deadline for a project. Add to that, the excitement of moving to [...]
A long time ago when I was in school, we were invariably asked to write an essay on Independence Day around this time of the year. Being the innocent little boy that I was, unaware of the evils lurking in this world, I used to write all sugary stuff, singing praises of our country, its leaders and the martyrs.

Is this little mini-series turning out to be some sort of weekly soap? I hope not, because then I’ll have to down shutters and move to the mountains to regain my sanity! I hoped that I wouldn’t crib about the weather again and my prayers seem to have been answered by The Almighty. The city [...]
The past week just flew by and before I could make sense of it all, it’s Saturday already. Learning from my past mistakes, I spent the afternoon in the confines of my office, shielded from the 3PM heat. I had never imagined that writing PL/SQL code could be so relaxing.
