Today I remember our washroom workers. All over the world they are known as janitors and in India they are commonly known as housekeeping staff. What I have noticed is that all the washroom workers in every country have the same frozen face, the same emotion…the same indifference or hesitation. It seems to me that…

In January 2020, I was in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world. Vegas is a magical mirage in the Nevada desert, it’s full of pubs, clubs, and casinos. I was on my way back to the hotel in a car after a meeting, and we were waiting for our turn at a signal…

I was in Jaipur last year and at a shop in Johri Bazaar I met a vibrant, charming, handsome guy, someone who looked exactly like a Shah Rukh Khan character – his mannerisms, clothes, hairstyle. His unbelievable salesmanship made me buy much more than I had intended to. I thought that the owner of the…

Prince of Persia is the very first computer game that I played, and it is a game that influenced me a lot, especially in my childhood. I played it for the first time in 1995 on my father’s laptop which was an 80486PC with a Windows 95 operating system, but the game ran on MS-DOS….

Today I am gratefully remembering my Breath. Most of us, including myself, take it for granted, we don’t actually pay enough attention or give consideration to our breath. But, ultimately, our breath is the most significant cause, the pillar of our existence. If we look at our life, it is just a happening that takes…

Today I am gratefully remembering the laptop I have been using for almost 6 1/2 years. I bought it in 2014 and it’s this cute 11″ MacBook Air laptop. It is not looking as sexy as it used to, but I can say that it has never let me down once. I have met thousands…

The day before yesterday was my birthday, and I completed 3 decades on this planet. While thinking about it, I found many factors, many people, many things that make me Alive. I think it is the case for everyone; if you look into yourself, around yourself, you can see that a lot of factors, a…
