The Odyssey

We had made this video more than a year ago for the send-off of our seniors’ batch. It was recently posted on the Institute Facebook page. Here is the text of the poem I had written for those who wanted it (appears at the end of the video). The poem holds true even [...]

I'm Back- Again

Guess who’s back? <noise of crickets chirping>

It has been quite a while since my last post. The blog’s been dying of neglect- it seemed right to attempt a resuscitation.

It’s not often I ask you to read a blog without having followed it for a while, but the posts there, the first few ones [...]

Fwd… or Not!

Dear All,

While I appreciate the concern some of you seem to have about my lifespan, the lifespan of my mother/father/brother/sister, my love life, my wealth, the safely of my computer system…, I beg that you act with some discretion before you hit that ‘forward’ button.
