Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday. That’s what we used to call holidays that were more of ‘greeting card’ days. Of course, the card craze has passed us, and smart phones are the preferred choice of communication for most people. It is the era of instant gratification, after all! Businesses are going all out for…
The Clock is Ticking #SecondChance
MH370 declared an accident, screamed the headlines. Since last March, I have been following the air waves for news of this ill fated flight. The first few frenzied but hopeful hours, then the tense days as all kinds of conspiracy theories ran amok (from the Malay mengamuk, incidentally), and the dreaded certainty that all souls…
Quikr NXT! Chat Before You Call
I have relocated over a dozen times in my life. And every relocation means selling off the stuff you cannot carry, and then buying stuff you need. Working as a consultant, I was often not sure how long I would stay in a single town. So buying new stuff did not make sense. Also, I…

Head over Heart – And some #CupidGames
With an IQ of 175, his brain processed things faster than most humans. Actually, a couple of average men put together. Think Chacha Chowdhary, that wily old comic character. Or Robert Langdon, of the Da Vinci Code. ‘What’s your biggest fear when it comes to relationships?’, I asked him once. ‘Being bored’, he said. ‘I…
Blogger’s Dilemma – PC or Laptop?
As a full time blogger, I spend most of my time online. But blogging doesn’t end with just creating blog posts. There is a lot of research that needs to be done, images that have to be created, and content marketing to be done via social media and other channels. To put my best blogging…
Litterbug Bitterbug
The road stretched before her endlessly. It shone and sparkled inviting a mirage or two. The white stripes painted for the lanes made a striking contrast with the black road.

Better Immunity the Natural Way
There is a cold wave! Yes, even I am saying that. Normally, I thrive in 60F weather. But when it comes to the 50s, I prefer heated rooms or houses. And that is how much the temperature in Pune has been for the past week or two. Sick in bed since a whole week, I…
Basic Tips for a Smooth Relocation
