Something very distasteful and extremely upsetting was conveyed to me today morning. My aunt is a mathematics professor since the last 30 odds years. She has been teaching in a suburban college of West Bengal (WB) for a while now.She is not just a person whom I'm terribly fond of, she is genuinely a good... Continue Reading →
Oh You Men!!!
I had a discussion once with a friend of mine regarding a couple who is known to us both. He not only found the man to be in a wrong kind of relationship, with the absolute wrong kind of woman, he found him to be henpecked to the core!! His evidence towards the aforesaid pecking of...

After a long, long while my dad was available without the phone ringing off the hook, files piling up and all the blah stuff that consumes post-middleaged execs.Anyhow, we took a trip together and it turned out to be a memorable day in the family...

Germans are known for their precision in all things. This quality has not escaped their wine corks, which have an ability to jump up like champagne corks, hit on right on the cute lil pug nose and knock out all whimsical notions out of you!! Had spent yesterday in great leisure. Had rolled about, stretched... Continue Reading →
un-fucking believable!!
Management students! BAH! HUMBUG!I don't want to sound prissy when I say this but we weren't like this when we were studying. While being goody-goody DID NOT enter the picture, the level of ignorance, lethargy and the maha lackadaisical attiudes that these people manifest is honestly sickening!!Time management is alien to the majority, sleeping is...

helen fielding is GOD! a funny one too. # of victims claimed by window sill this month-5 # of times I've not kept the temple date-3 # of times I've dozed off in meetings with the eyes wide open-too often to count. # of times I've wondered why something is called a kazoo-3 # of... Continue Reading →
u know you need life outside work when…
when you see an auto which has "JUNG" written on the back and you think to yourself, "WOW!! auto guy into Jung!"and then realisation dawns and you feel like a fool for thinking that Carl Gustav Jung and the hindi movie Jung could ever be equated on the same plane.The other colleagues sympathetically do the...
