Time flies, truly does. I don't think that this blog has seen this much of a gap between posts. Time to set things right? Updates updates- -Met my girl! Asked her out, got engaged, got married, the works! Life has been super awesome ever since. It does get a lot better post marriage, trust me! Seems like life has finally begun post the wedding. It's awesome to have a partner in crime, who you would want to go to jail with too! -Was in the States last year. Unique distinction was that I wasn't in our dear India for both its Republic and Independence days. Instead I was working on both said days resolving client concerns for my product sitting in Reston. Twice to California- Carlsbad, San Diego, LA. Missed flights and the jazz. NY is a super awesome place. -Ran into Ratan Tata at the NY Apple Store. Long story short, it was fantabulous! -Got promoted! Took time to sink in, still taking time. Also realized that titles are just titles, same workload, more responsibil...

People who know me well enough know that I come up with theories on which I base proceedings. And well, most who know this are annoyed beyond comprehension by these blocks I've set for myself, which sometimes leaves them in the lurch! I understand that forming theories or creating these mental blocks can alienate people around me. My understanding of life is simple, there are patterns everywhere. Once someone is capable of identifying these patterns, the logical outcome of a situation is not very difficult to predict. When something new comes across, it fits in the brain as a new pattern docket, of which there are many! When patterns overlap, there is always a unique identifier which sets them apart, and then they Venn. So when a situation presents itself, dockets are scanned, patterns identified, outcome ascertained, and action taken. Now one of these theories is that of glass ceilings of thought. Lets see if I can articulate this: everyone has a specific IQ, everyone has...

The summer has been relentless. We had a good few weeks of consistent 45C+ day temperatures, thankfully the majority of which were under conditioned air. The monsoon is late is the MET status for Delhi, but the clouds have started their on and off cover so we expect some respite soon. What else is scorching? The world of technology of course! Android L announced a few days ago, seems a thorough UI overhaul, optimizations and quirks. I still haven't found out an answer to the question, "to what end, is technology?" There are answers, but the correct answer is elusive. I guess the search for this is my mission for sometime. Random note: I like Linus Van Pelt, I tend to associate with his antics and look forward to the daily comic strip to see what he's gotten up to. I recently have taken charm to Bollywood remixes from the 90's, weird as it may seem. Watching YouTube videos of trains chugging by is another odd thing I seem to enjoy these days. I think its th...

There is so much which goes on in the mind, for me it never makes much sense until that thought touched pen and then paper. The more I write, the more I remember. This blogger editor seems outdated. Anyway, the IFTTT concept needs to be used more at work, things are running a bit too manually for my liking. Have been brushing up on Visio lately, must use it more, easier to articulate concepts. That was random. So whats been up lately? Its Feb mid already! Times flying as it does, at least it is constant in what it does. We need Square here in India don't we, I sometimes wish we more more with pace to implement (though in all fairness we are). I can almost see the vegetable vendors swiping cards on their handsets with a Square-ish device. Where is social media going? What happens after FB? Whats new coming up here? I noticed Klout did some changes and was bought out by someone, that was interesting. I've become a slave to tech news. Google sold Moto, to keep Samsung f...

This blog might I add is like the common man, it takes all the atrocities thrown at it and yet carries on. I can't apologize enough for not blogging more, too lazy, too busy is not an excuse. One can never be too busy is what someone said to me recently, or I read somewhere can't remember. Yes, its age which is catching up as well, its been that long I've blogged! So, December already! This year has been something! 13 has always been my lucky number and I'll always hold anything relating to this number dear to me. 2013 has been no exception. The year I bought my first car (first of many I hope!), long awaited and drooled over DSLR, a new lappy, among other inconsequential tangible knick knacks! iPod touch crashed a few days back trying to update to a new version, almost as sad as losing a dear friend. Works' been good, hectic and chaotic, just the way I like it! Keeps me occupied and leaves not a moment to ponder. Completed an year at the current job place be...

Hey guys! No point talking about how I end up abandoning this blog and then returning back like a lost puppy! Happy New Year to you all, a tad late, but better late than never! A toast to more blogging and misadventures for the year to come! Cheers!

My dear blog. As is customary, I apologize for abandoning you time and time again. You would be glad to know that I am in one of those moods today where I can write on and on. It is sad that I am not in these moods more often. Waking up at random hours while in college, how I used to produce scripts to shame Oscar winners (at least what I used to think!), gone are those days, I long for them, I crave the innocence. While I am at it, might as well give you an update of the on's and happenings in my wretched and boring(super boring) life. I sit here at 12.00am Saturday morning, fully aware that I don't have work to get up to, aware that I can sleep, aware that I have a million things pending, which will bring me up from my slumber with a thud. The feeling of dis-satisfaction with life has overcome me in the last few months, the reason for which I search like Holmes in a haystack. The emptiness which has filled me, has caused a void, never felt before. I am not one to express such...
