Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
To each it’s the food of the soil
Yet it’s all a clever political foil
Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
They beef up their security
While our lives are full of anxiety
Oh my [...]

Someone took moral responsibility
Someone listened to his conscience
Someone was put under pressure

After going through SFO, LAX, PHL, BOS and JFK amongst others, I’m finally set to go home. Must say it’s a lovely feeling to be on my way back. Will complete the round trip around the globe today. Carrying back memories, memorobilia, and pictures.
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought’s escaping
Home, where my music’s playing
Home, where my [...]

For a boy of 10 years the concept of reaching the finals of the World Cup of One Day Cricket may not have been such a big thing. Only after realising that the only time his country ever won a match before that was back in 1975 that too laboriously against minnows then known as East [...]

Dearest Dad and Mom,
How are you? I hope you are doing fine. I am fine but very disappointed today. I know I have not been known to complain but I will today – wholeheartedly.
Why did you not allow me to break more bulbs and window panes when I was younger? Why did you scold [...]

For anyone in business someone who doesn’t network it spells the death knell for the business. However, this is not about business. This is about networking – more so social networking…and no I’m not talking about them dating sites (I’m way past that age and time). I’m talking about this phenomenon that is catching up, [...]

The festival of lights is over and done with for this year. All promises of a noise free festival are up in smoke. Yet I have no complains really. I’d think to each his own, some people have to look at their side of the fun before really being bothered about what the repercussions for [...]
