Thinking outside the box – significance of the number 4!
Thinking outside the box. What could this possibly mean? A different look into our “conditioning” and associated possibilities:-)
Black box / White box – What mode are you on today?
This is hopefully an interesting question that we all need to ask or understand at some point or the other. We usually come across problems, opportunities and situations in no predestined fashion at work (however organized you may think you are or want to be) and sometimes, knowing what mode you are on (or even…
On your Mark, get Set……GO!
I have taken to the habit of jogging now, and am trying to be regular at it. I started off with a small target, around 2-2.5 kms and got going. Armed with RunKeeper and a bottle of spruced up water, I hit the road. The first run was good, could manage 2.55 KMs in 20…
My Daughter is my Teacher: Lesson #1

A common definition for Resource would probably read – A resource would be a source / reserve / supply of something that…
For my kids, I am always some Khan and Mommy is a Padukone
Don’t you agree? Your kids would see you as the world’s best dad and the world’s best mom, and if you equate that to their favorite actors, you will naturally be the Salmans / Shah Rukhs and the Deepika Padukones of this world, for them. I am simply amazed at how easy our kids live…
To bell curve or not to?
Curves could be in but I prefer being straight.† Want to stay ahead of the curve…Easy….Eliminate the Curve itself! Think bell, think rank and yank! Not many would have grasped the context and significance of these lines above. I am one of them, for starters. 🙂 I am talking about the infamous bell curve –…
Anti-post: Battle of the Mind versus Brain?
If anti-matter exists, then anti-post most certainly does. But what is an anti-post? A post is generally an article written around a specific topic / subject and with a theme.
