Human Relationships and Business cycles
Of late, I have realised that human relationships also go through the same phases of business cycle - Upturn, Expansion, Peaking Out, Recession. The only significant difference being business cycles are recurrent where as human relationships fade away after one cycle. In most cases, the cycle period is so small that it gives a false hope to the individual to keep trying and enter into new...

Cross Cross.. Jugari Cross.. Ok Boss
After yet another forgettabble day at the office, it was an absolute delight to watch my favorite writer Poornachandra Tejaswi’s Jugari Cross in the form of a play at the marvellous stage at Ranga Shankara. Ranga Shankara for many a reasons holds a special place in my heart and watching Jugari Cross there made my day.

The new "grand old" kid on the block...
You wait five years for the call from selectors. You keep scoring runs. ?You finally get that call. You wait for six hours to bat and you get a grubber, a shooter. You then get promoted ahead of your idol Rahul Dravid in the second innings. And play a super knock. sometimes, dreams do come true. Sometimes..
Here’s introducing himself to the biggest stage of cricket… the new...

Sounds really really cool.. Lets wait and see what it has to offer.
They just can't let go of it.
Being one of the ardent worshipers of the game, I just can’t stop myself from thinking about it or feeling sad about it. Its really astonishing how they manage to put themselves in trouble on every single occasion when they go out of their country.
It may be all but natural for me, being an Indian to hate every single aspect about the country named Pakistan, given the state of events in the...
Kudos to BS Life and Leisure Team
I think, by now, it is a pretty known fact that most of the the web links posted by me are from Business Standard - Life and Leisure Section. I have been completely bowled over by everything in this section -selection of topics, simplicity of language, trying to strike a cord with common man, creating social awareness.. I just love everything about it.. So far they have been doing extremely well...

I would love to visit this place. Anyone in Delhi or close by, please make sure you just drop in here sometime.
Good old times...
After a long time, I had an eventful weekend in my what has become a lackluster boring life. Catching up with old school friends always gives a special feeling, but this time it was even more special considering my current dull state of mind. Everything about it was special, starting from the ride to Koramangala from Domlur in Varun’s car on Saturday evening to not-so delightful South Indian...

Its all in the mindset..
The Mumbai terror attack invariably has affected each one of our lives, probably with differing impacts. When I was reading the newspaper day before yesterday, the title of an article caught my attention which said “How can we fight someone who is ready to die”. This kept lingering in my mind all through the day and as I thought more & more about this, this perplexed me even more....

What we need
After a long hiatus of 5 months, I’m back again posting my tumblelog. These 5 months have been very eventful & full of enriching experiences. I’ll dig into someof those & share it in coming days, but then this one below has been pending from my side for a very long time.
When we talk about hero worship with respect to Latin American nations, the ‘only’ name which...

'Sarkar' rulz with his 'Raaj'...
When I watched ‘Sarkar’ two years back, I was thoroughly impressed by our desi Don Vito Corleone ‘Sarkar’ alias Subhash Nagre and his son desi Micheal Corleone Shankar Nagre running a ‘parallel’ government to help people. It was the first true taste of mafia world to the Indian cinema. And Ram Gopal Varma had managed to strike the cord of the Indian...
Inspiration to the title of my tumblelog
Although this should have been my first blog, I’m writing this one now. The title Huchchu Manasina Noorentu Mukhagalu meaning ‘The hundred and eight faces of the crazy mind’ is inspired from the title of the autobiography of a multi-faceted personality & Jnanapith award winner Dr. Shivaram Karanth, Huchcu Manasina Hattu Mukhagalu meaning ‘The ten faces of the crazy...

A 'rocking' experience....
Just two days back, I was completely frustrated, bored & depressed with this routine life & had written to one of my best friends about it with great misery. I was longing for some excitement.
I think the almighty also thought about it & decided for some fun in my life.
Next morning I woke up to confront the ‘God sent’ landlord fighting with me & asking me to vacate...

The 3 mistakes of my life...
After watching the Chetan Bhagat interview on NDTV Profit, I got a feeling that, Chetan has come of age after the ‘One night @ Call Center’ debacle. Watching him talk so maturely about the life of a common man in India, I simply fell for it & bought the book. This was the first mistake I did. With extra enthusiasm on a gloomy sunday evening, I decided to cancel my visit to my...

Doctors are after all human beings...
” Vaidyo Narayano Harihi ” This is true in most of the cases… but one fact which we all tend to forget is that doctors are also after all ” mortal human beings “… Yesterday evening when my mom me called up in utter agony, she was unable to speak. Her voice crumbled… Being her son, only I could imagine the depressed state of her mind. She just said that...

Should people like these be let free on human grounds ? If that is the case, then I feel we are just moving more and more away from humanity.

Bangalore at 6 am
As I was travelling from Hebbal to Marathahalli at 6am today morning, I realised that Bangalore is still beautiful,pleasant and a comforting place. The cool breeze trying to wake up the sun to rise… the roads just happy to be ‘empty’ and preparing themselves for the heavy load… the sluggish movement of human beings… everything just too perfect. Now, I understand why...
"Tickle"ing away to glory...
In the world of SoC design, all one does is to ‘tickle’… As absurd as it may sound, but this is what I do.. A certified to-be-ASIC design engineer from BITS,Pilani… I ‘tickle’ to “lay”out millions of transistors in a tiny space… I ‘tickle’ to do the physical verification… I ‘tickle’ to fix setup.. I...

If not from Harbhajan, it would have come from someone else… It is expected from Sreesanth to show some sort of maturity at this level of the game. Harbhajan, on the other hand, although having a lot of sympathisers to his side, cannot make any excuse for his act. More than anything else, Cricket is a game and it should be played in the right spirit. Now I seriously hope, this incident will...
