When life throws lemons at you…

Recently I have been coming across the adage ‘when life throws you lemons, make lemonade’ many a times. It can be easy to be optimistic when things are going well, but more demanding when life gets hard. This volatile life seems to come at us in ways that are completely unexpected and we are forced to deal with it. Dealing with it is one thing, but making it better is completely different. If you...

Prix of emotions

Feeling butterflies in me I am as tangled as one can be… The odds of her finding the key, Seems to send me through a frenzy This is a moment I must be glee Then why do I feel like I need to pay the fee? Today I sit by myself fearfully, Since it it is the day I decide not to flee. Kneeling before the universe, I plea Please release me and let me be free. In the end all that matters is only family, And...

Confessions of a litterbug: A clean sweep to jumpstart Project Eco-clean

He looked straight into my eyes and spoke through his eyes, “No properly educated and socially habituated individual will litter. Period. If you do, you ARE trash yourself and deserving of scorn and even legal prosecution.” Well, maybe he did not speak them but that is definitely what I read in his eyes.

Some to catch up with the growing opportunities in India,...

The iPad story: Glory vs. Gory

I’m pretty tired of all the iPad bashing and their banal twaddle. So what is it with you guys? So you miss multi tasking (Anyways wait for the next software update!), file system and the USB drive? Dude, iPad is not designed to replace your laptop. If that were the case, then why in the heaven’s name would Apple just revamp their MacBook Pro? For those who are complaining about the 64 GB space?

Faces of Water: Give water the respect that it deserves

It’s yet another earth day today and I am pondering if “Being Green” is just another fad or are people actually taking it seriously. No, no, please don’t get me wrong. I know a lot of them who do their part sincerely but these days, I just feel jaded with the constant drivel about “Going Green” in every business – corporate scenario, just to appear cool – a marketing gimmick. In school we...
