September 3rd, we celebrated Ganesha Chaturthi in a different way. Maui and I went over to Sweet Chariot, bought a “Happy Birthday” butterscotch cake; my wife dekkoed up an idol we had with small tidbit streamers and aromatherapy candles.
In attendance, as special guest, was Swiper, the sneaky fox who, I think wanted to swipe the cake […]

Blogging via the free WIFI of Bangalore International Airport.
Almost driven by an obsessive compulsive disorder, the first thing I did was to log into the GE VPN. A tad slow, but ah-the-relief-of-knowing-that-my-little-world-is-doing-fine is immeasurable, especially since I last checked up my inbox was almost two and a half hours ago.

Proud to work for a company […]

9:33 am Saturday. Listening to my past.
Actually I have never seen this movie but I grew up on the songs. Bappi da at his lethal best
The forgotten voices of Bappi Lahiri, Usha Uthup, Vijay Benedict and so much nostalgia of dancing in front of the mirror. The recording is at 18kbps, adds a […]
