The Mist

One of the perks of having your office on the 41st floor is the view.
Not.


 
Anybody could use a little extra money. That’s what this friend said when he came up to me with a proposal regarding Amway. I’d heard a lot about it (mostly just allegations of it being a cult, blah blah) and I had assumed it to be just a glorified pyramid scheme. So I sat and listened to [...]


Normally, I’m the kind of person who’s not very fond of (or good at) confrontations. I try to avoid it when I can and sometimes even when I shouldn’t. But, over the last 1 week, my net connection at home has been down and the asses at Sify Broadband have taken their own sweet time to [...]


What exactly are these so called ‘Moral Values’ that so many self righteous pretentious hypocrites of our country keep touting? Really?
This is a long due post. It will not  arrive at any conclusions and it will not do anything about the ’situation at hand’. Like most passive youngsters (!), I cannot do anything about it [...]


I came across this site, Global Richlist and was ‘pleasantly‘ surprised to find that, inspite of my pathetic and meagre earnigs I’m actually the 850,643,176 th richest person on the planet.
Apparently, I’m in the top 14.17%…in terms of annual income.

Sigh…just hope all this new found wealth doesn’t go to my head! Not! 


Switchfoot is NOT one of my favorite bands but somehow I’m buying into their uplifting, sentimental stuff of late. Then again, it could be a good thing.

We Are
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain,
When the shadow proves [...]

I just got back from a massive stage production conducted by Christ College, Bangalore and Script People’s Theater called Vision 2020: The Trilogy. Now, over four years of college, we were subjected to plays that never deviated from the usual nativity/crucification/revival plot lines and so this was a welcome change.
I’m still unsure as to what [...]


Remember Lester Burnham? Remember how he freed himself from the shackles of corporate and marital slavery? (Yes I said marital slavery) Remember how he lived? Remember how he died?
Sometimes I think I want to be more like that. I want to be the kind of guy who can afford to quit his job and just [...]


Work is driving me nuts.
One thing about working in a huge firm is that you tend to feel insignificant most/all of the time. There seems to be no meaning in anything you do…no greater good. You walk around like a zombie all day and do whatever you’re told without thinking twice about it.
I’m not even [...]
