  • Thinking Endlessly

    Pretty much realized after 31 years of living that thinking (of the ruminating kind) is the most damaging state of being. To many this would seem common sense but to someone who spends a lot of time in his head, it doesn’t come easy.

  • Silence

    Me, a glass in hand, a window overlooking the street, buddha bathing in dim light, reflecting, drowning, quiet and complete silence, my oldest friend.

  • A Year in SF

    Exactly one year ago yesterday, I moved to San Francisco to start a new life. After having spent more than half a decade in San Diego working a job that taught me well but was just too cushy at times, the transition couldn’t have come sooner. Truth be told, I had been wanting to move […]

  • Death Is Nothing At All

    Death is Nothing at All by Henry Scott Holland Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which […]

  • 9 years

    9 years ago, on this day, I landed on the shores of California. I was talking to mom on the phone and of course, like every mother, she hadn’t forgotten the date and to commemorate this, casually said – “That sure has been a long time but you haven’t really come too far in life”. […]

  • Movies The French Make

    I am going to make a bold claim. The French make a certain kind of a movie better than anyone else in the world. This kind of a movie is somewhat quiet in its treatment. This movie is rhythmic in flow, harmonious and melodious, like the language itself. It manages to be poignant and witty […]

  • The thing on your mind

    Paul Graham (whose essays are pure gems of wisdom) posted a new essay The Top Idea in Your Mind which spawned a brilliant discussion on Hacker News the other day. The concept is simple – the top idea in your mind is the thought that you drift towards when you’re taking a shower. Think about […]

  • My Reading Shelf

    I bookmark a lot of things. Articles, websites, advice, blogs, technical stuff, pretty much everything I think could be a reference someday. Bookmarking might be passe but I like it. No Delicious type crap for me. I categorize them under tabs such as shelf (kind of like my bookshelf – except these are blogs), wisdom, […]

  • Company

    If you haven’t, the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Hindi film ‘Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year’ (available on Netflix) is worth a watch for any aspiring entrepreneur. I love this dialogue from a powerful scene in the end. (in Hindi) jab khoon paseena ek saath kagaz pe chapta hai na, table bed ban jaati hai aur […]
