Finding stories in everyday adventures
Vik Few weeks back, during the week of Black Friday, I was thinking of buying an Xbox to play video games on my HDTV. I have a Nintendo Wii but there’s only so much you can do with it. Not that I don’t enjoy playing games on it. I do. However, the type of games you can play is very limited. So, why did I buy the Wii? Well, it is fun to play on it …
Next Tuesday is my first final for this mod. That is followed by two more finals, one on Wednesday, and the other on Thursday. At the end of Thursday, I would be a free man… well at least for some time. I have plans to utilize the long holidays. First 10 days I am going to work on my career strategy and hunt for some internships. GBP’s result comes out on the 10th. So, if …
Latest on Internet Censorship, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal asked Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft to screen content deemed “inappropriate” from social media websites. Apparently, the example shown to the company representatives was related to the president of Congress, Sonia Gandhi.

As I think about that, I realize that coming months are going to …

One complaint though – I noticed it synced my Purdue Exchange and Google calendar by default. What ended up happening was, I got duplicate entries on my calendar. The reason being the two calendars are already synced. …
Heard Bob McDonald speak today at Purdue. It was an honor to be present over there and learn his experiences of how he landed up at P&G from the military academy, and how his life’s expectations always matched to what he did during the course of his career progression. Among the 10 things he talked about related to leadership, and of course citing stories from P&G and his life, the one thing that really fascinated …
Back from Himachal. It was a 5 day trip that I will remember for some time. I met many people and had too much food. Not sure when my next visit will be. My uncle (dad’s brother in law) from Baghera village in Himachal Pradesh. A news I received today morning. It is sad. Dad took an evening bus to HP for the funeral.
I haven’t been blogging lately. Last post was in May and a lot has happened since then. Osama Bin Laden is indeed dead 🙂 but that is not what concerns me. Ofcourse, for the world and especially the USA it is a revenge finally taken but for me I have better things to worry about at the moment. So, I am in Delhi, the part of the world I call home and the place where …
