To atone for the crime of watching the movie ‘Mohenjo Daro’, that too alone in a theatre, I will read 2000 books related to Indus Valley Civilization, I had promised. This is 1st of such. Just kidding. There are not many interesting books about Indus Valley Civilization anyway. Growing up with Comics and working asContinue reading “So I recently read: The People of Indus”
So I recently read: THE BEE, THE BEETLE AND THE MONEY BUG
When I was growing up, discussions of shares and stocks, Interest Rates, Sensex, and Money in general, were as alien to me, as Machiavellianism is to Rahul Gandhi. In my family, the discussions at the dinner table were mostly related to *wait-for-it* just dinner. On the contrary, some of my close friends knew about allContinue reading “So I recently read: THE BEE, THE BEETLE AND THE MONEY BUG”
So I recently read: Factfulness
I first came to know about Hans Rosling, through this TED Talk. I was searching for data visualizations and how the world perceives other nations. Naturally, once you watch this, you will realize that Hans Rosling was not only a witty speaker, but also the stats he displayed were proof that most of our knowledgeContinue reading “So I recently read: Factfulness”
Jai Shree Ram
Although I was not old enough to understand what was happening back in late 1992 and why, I was old enough to remember the general mood of those days. Near my place, there’s a railway station and whichever train to Ayodhya used to pass at that time, people used to shower the people (Karsevaks) withContinue reading “Jai Shree Ram”

Same as Ever – EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT Faithfulness – EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT How to Fail at AlmostContinue reading “Books I read in 2023”
Namaskaara 2024
ಇಂದು ವರ್ಷದ ಮೊದಲ ದಿನವಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳನ್ನು ಕೋರುತ್ತೇನೆ. We are well aware that nowadays nobody can read past 1-2 lines because of our declining attention span. Therefore, by writing the 1st paragraph 100% in Kannada and not a mere 60% like a hypocrite, I think my job is done. Continuing further in the languageContinue reading “Namaskaara 2024”
So I recently watched ‘Rocket Boys’ & ‘Oppenheimer’
But first, CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE FOR CHANDRAYAAN – 3’S SUCCESS! It is just fitting that I finished watching the Sony Liv series ‘Rocket Boys’ based on the lives of Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai, along with some bits of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam just a day after the successful landing of Chandrayaan – 3 on theContinue reading “So I recently watched ‘Rocket Boys’ & ‘Oppenheimer’”
