It's been a long journey; that could be best described as the sounds of my wheels driving me crazy.

How does the below qualify as a test cricket shot?? Mandate a specific number of First Class matches for each international test player in a year.

Two masterpieces, first by Mukul Anand and then by Karan Malhotra.

Lions at home; meek rats outside. Whitewash at England; alright, could be a one-time. Australia; our performance falling as the matches progress. Second innings, extras was the fifth highest scorer. Last four wickets fell at the same score! Meek submission. Heads need to roll; and this is not knee-jerk. Vindicates my stand, Kapil Dev's team is still the best Indian team so far. They won not in

A nice article, I found via @GuyKawasaki on Twitter. But for entrepreneurs who are bringing something new and novel to the marketplace, experimentation can be truly…experimental. Removing expectations and letting the results lead you in completely new directions is the attribute that marks a truly entrepreneurial mind.

The Bear Took a fourteen hour vacation, and a relaxing one at that, starting yesterday evening at Vasant Uncle's factory outhouse. Was speaking to Uncle day before yesterday and the topic of our long-pending hike in the forests of Shivrajpur came up. Lo and behold, Uncle was spending a few days at Halol itself, and we decided, irrespective of it being a weekday, we could take off on Thursday

Petrol price is hiked then rolled-back. TUCC is stringently applied then rolled-back through concessions. FDI in retail is hiked then rolled-back. India gets most favored nation status with from Pakistan; which is then rolled-back. PM calls Gilani India's friend; Home Minister rolls that back. ...what we have is a rolling (-backwards) government.

Should I say a tight match? Well, without taking any credit from the West Indians; I would expect more out of the World Champions. But a nice thirty minutes towards the end of the match; a good unwinding for the day. But to think of it how much more passion would an early nineties match have generated. It wasn't many years back that a good series on a Sunday; or for that matter, even on a

Retail FDI, the buzz word of this parliamentary session. Forget the aviation crisis, inflation, black money, graft, our lovely neighbours in the east and west. Short lived is the promise of our wonderful leader LK Advani who was to have got each BJP MP to, very conveniently, say they had no black-money abroad. Mark the qualifier. And it isn't just the near orphan, BJP, but also the ever so

Phew!! And what a journey it has been! Got up this morning and spent a few minutes on the edge of the bed recollecting the last 4 years. It almost felt like, wow, I incubated a baby. (I am sure a lesser feeling, but felt good).We've been through tough times, easy times, fun times, sorry times. A plethora of emotions; and not one emotion that I would have wanted to miss.

My five year old Dunlop squash racquet finally gave way at the court yesterday. Well, it did go through a lot of wear and tear over the last five years. Made me learn to respect the racquet (no violations on racquet abuse on this one). Though it probably stayed with me through countless heat the ball sessions on court. Time that would help me block myself of from everything else and just keep

And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avowYou are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?

As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.

In the process of making a small (and good) reputation in the space that I started Phonon in and slowly but surely am building small but interesting products that can help carve a niche in the call-centre automation and telephony services space.Boy,

Getting up every morningIn pursuit of a dreamNot knowing if to Ithaca the journey will endDeep thought going in the smallest of actionsAlertness that catches a dropping crystal vaseObserving every cloud for the faintest of silver liningsAnd grabbing each of those with a warm embraceLearning being the big take away at every stepYearning to come back to the sweet pillow of sleepAwaiting yet another

Close to a quarter since I last posted some of my thoughts. Well, things have been hectic (boy! thats an understatement) - wins, losses, discussions, traveling... I am just learning the hardway that success is about getting up one more time than you really think you can.Here are some of the things that I have learnt (a couple from a very interesting book called Losing My Virginity by Branson

I was reading the BBC, when I happened to see an article about best and worst UK adverstisements from 2006. The portion on Nimble bread reminded me of Nestle Kitkat's new campaign for their low-calorie chocolate that is being aired on Indian TV channels these days.Come on, get original folks!!

Thanks to Reddy, here's the recipe for a martini made to suit anyone who has gult taste-buds.Ingredients (for 2 servings),60 ml vodka (any brand, its not going to make a difference in a bit)3-4 green chillies, cut along their length (some say, the more the merrier)1/2 a lemonFew drops of tobasco sauce (boy...already getting the fire burning)Ice (you'll need this)All the ingredients in a shaker

Was traveling Indian Railways' marquee train - the Shatabdi Express when I saw this :-). Makes one wonder - where did the train get lost?

Was browsing around, when the eyeballs hit a name that sounded very familiar. Ithaca. Yes, the one nice poem, that probably everyone has read.Here it is, once more:When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,pray that the road is long,full of adventure, full of knowledge.The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:You will never find such as these on your path,if your

Did someone talk about perseverance paying off in the long-run (and laziness immediately)? Here goes... just launched the first product from the Phonon stables - GoTalk. Like the name? Well even if you don't the application is still better - type in anything in English and what you get is a translation in any European language. All on your mobile phone :-). Cute ain't it..pphhrrtt! Will be cute

Pyramid Tech ceases to exist as a brand (except for the visiting cards that need to be designed). Phonon.in launches today. More on this later. As usual, wish me luck.

...what a name, but I can't keep it for my organisation; I know what is good and what is not good. The name starts with a P, comes very late in the alphabet; is not an active verb.I love my motorcycle; I plan on getting it repaired.My car is lying desolate in Bombay (yes, I prefer the romance of Bombay to the trains of Mumbai), I plan on getting it to Baroda.I have a dream - and am searching for

The one day team seems to be on a roll. Forget the tests, the team seems to believe in instant gratification. As an arm-chair cricket enthusiast My Re. 0.02 on the current state of the team.1. Give Viru a rest - making him play will just destroy his confidence. He is flamboyant, let him go back to First Class cricket for a season.

And what is good Phaedrus, is not what I am talking about here. Spent the last half hour riding around on a 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet Machismo. Was that a completely different experience than riding my KB125 RTZ. Don't get me wrong. As mentioned in my review at Mouthshut, it still remains my first love.The Bullet is a completely different piece of machinery. A motorcycle, not a Jap-Bike. It

Daily life these days more or less consists of getting up in the morning, playing squash for a while (while in Mumbai or jogging back home after work while in Baroda), strategising and deploying all the things that need to be deployed for Pyramid Tech. Seems to be fairly dreary but (un)fortunately, it cannot be more action packed, more fulfilling. Atleast over the last two weeks, hardly has there

On the verge of starting a new chapter in my life soon. Over the last almost 4 years since my graduation from my business school, being in a corporate salaried job has helped me learn a lot, meet very interesting people, mature up and realise the value of productive achievement.As said very often, it is never the best time to start on one's own; I find now to be the best time to launch a

It's been two years; 15 days short of two actually since moving into this apartment of mine. The longest I have stayed at a place ever since moving out of home in 2000. And all my cartons are now packed and am almost ready to shift in with Akshay. A lot of reasons to move out for me - practicality being the most critical.The two years have gone by real quick - the few things that strike me as I

Like all Sundays, had planned yesterday to maximise effectiveness. Had decided to do nothing, but play squash, go to a cousin's for dinner and also visit a temple on the way.Left home in the evening after a good hour and a half of squash and a cuppa chai with Akshay. Moved through the lazy Sunday evening traffic in Mumbai (including a traffic jam by a truck stuck on an incline!) to reach

The second Sunday of January and the cultural life in Mumbai is reaching it's annual crescendo. What with the Prithvi festival, the Mumbai Marathon, the Kalaghoda Art Festival and probably the most low-key of all, the Banganga festival. Low key - it doesn't have its own website!3 years and 7 days in Mumbai today for me - and found such a serene and beautiful place as Banganga today. Going on to
