Why do I do this to myself??

I slept on the couch. I was up at 3:45 AM. I turned over; my computer was on and plugged in. The browser was open, set to Willow TV. I refresh the browser and start watching the India-Australia match at the ICC Champions Trophy.
Half way through the match, I was feeling quite good. India didn’t […]

Safe Flight

He’s become the Rocketman.
I knew it would happen.
That the past year was not reality.
The day was one of wonderful nothingness.
The kind of day that can pass you by, that doesn’t stand out, that doesn’t make the photo album.
These are the days you string together for… happiness.
Fly safe my Rocketman.

In full agreement with Bush and Cheney

The NY Times had a hilarious article on how politicians use hand sanitizers, especially Purell, during a campaign where pressing the flesh is the order of the day.
I am a HUGE fan of Purell and carry a little bottle around with me in every handbag/backpack/travel bag. I am convinced that my use of the product […]

How do you work?

My whole life, I’ve worked in structured environments.
If anything, the first school I went to, The School KFI, from kindergarten to 7th grade was the most unstructured. We had an amazing campus and often classes were held under the trees - including the banyan tree in this post. Kids were free to wander around and […]

Deepavali, traditionally known as the Festival of Lights, is a celebration of hope for the world and the triumph of good over evil. It is one of the most important festivals on the Hindu calendar.
When I was growing up, we’d be woken up at first light, taken to the prayer room, given new clothes, and […]

Second Life - improve the newbie experience!

I am a huge fan of Second Life. It is a world that is built by the community and defined by the community. Don’t like something in the world? Change it. Bored? Come up with something entertaining and it is likely that hordes of people will join you. Want to buy land and become a […]

Welcome A and L!

Very close friends of mine just welcomed their twin babies into the world a few hours ago. A and L Welcome!
A and L are testaments to lots of love, determination and the marvels of medical technology. They were first conceived as a longing in their parents’ minds and hearts. But there was a small […]

Subway learnings

The subway in New York is an amazing thing. When I first moved here, it took me a while to start using it. I didn’t know where I was going and it seemed complicated. But once I started using it, I was hooked. It is so incredibly fast and economical. Except in the summer […]

Are people afraid of Google?

You know someone is using their power not-for-good when people become afraid of them. I know lots of bloggers who won’t criticize Google because they are scared they’ll be denied access (which has been done before) and no one in the tech world will be really harsh about them because, well, you might want to […]
