Domestic violence on the men?

30-Dec-04

In the sixties, women asked for equality. In 30 years time, they would have it. In another 10 years time, they would treat men like dirt.
I know it’s a shame, but I got to admit that I am subjected to domestic violence. I have proof – the burn marks on my well-developed calf muscles, the […]

On jammin up with Jammy

28-Dec-04

Presenting something that boosted my confidence ten-times today morning. After the gut-wrenching farewell last evening and pegs of Smirnoff Vanilla Twist in the night, I woke up a tired man. But this link from a colleague of mine - Meera Srinivasan - put back the energy where it belonged. Thanks mate!

My farewell speech

27-Dec-04

Here is the farewell speech I delivered at Sify at 5.15 p.m on 27th of December 2004.
I probably did not speak out the whole speech that follows…coz I was tense…and was too sad…but I sure wanted to.

25-Dec-04

Long long ago, when angels traversed the Earth and things were not as bad as they are today…I used to be a bachelor. And I would stay wth a friend of mine, Vamsee Vardhan (Now in US of A).
Our house in Adayar, Chennai was amazingly big and we thought a third person won’t hurt. Blame […]

My medical check-up

23-Dec-04

Those that don’t watch BBC or CNN’s primetime news bulletin are probably not aware that I have quit my Sports Editor’s job at www.sify.com. Not much of a Sports Editor, but still.
I will be joining American International Group (www.aig.com) as their Corporate Communication guy.
Is the move good or bad? I don’t know yet. By the […]

How beetroot became red

22-Dec-04

One day I plan to publish a collection of children stories. Some with morals, some without. Read this story on how the beetroot became red and let me know if I will be able to do my bit towards making a child’s life happier.
Long ago in the woods of Sundarbans delta there lived a beetroot […]
