Erik is one of those rare guys with whom you can have an incredible discussion on any topic. He’s articulate, thoughtful and extremely insightful. He has the added advantage of being […]

It seems like the whole world is blogging. But that’s hardly the case1. When blogs first started, only the technically equipped could blog. Blogger changed that. But the interface was limited and once Google bought it, innovation on that platform slowed down for a long time. Wordpress2 offered people who were slightly technical flexibility. The […]
Third anniversary of blogging
Published May 10th, 2007 in Bloggers, India, New York and Personal. 8 CommentsOn May 10th, 2004, I started blogging.
I had been in New York for about six months (albeit with a horrendous travel schedule to California) and I quite disliked being in Manhattan. After the wonderfully warm weather and incredible open skies of the Bay Area, I found Manhattan claustrophobic, dirty and over-crowded. And, to be fair, […]
I’ve been reading Jeff Jarvis’ blog for years and have always found that he has the rare ability of being pithy while hitting the nail on the head.
Here’s a perfect example — he was on CBS being interviewed about the Don Imus brouhaha and more specifically the reaction in the blog world. Apparently there is […]
One of my favorite charities (and one that I’ve blogged about before) is Magic Bus. They do truly outstanding work that makes a huge difference to the kids they work with.
So, I am very exicted to announce that DesiPundit, where I am a contributor, has decided to auction off the prizes it won at the […]
I missed International Women’s Day since I was sick as a dog. Lots has been written about it - pros, cons, how to celebrate it, how not to, whether to, whether “celebrate” is the right word… You get the point.

I love Hugh MacLeod’s cartoons. In fact this blog was named after one of his cartoons.
His content varies - lots of pithy zingers, lots of cutesy hearts, lots of cruel put-downs, and then, there are few that are just very intense. Like this one…
The New York Times has an interesting piece on flaming.
Flaming has a technical name, the “online disinhibition effect,” which psychologists apply to the many ways people behave with less restraint in cyberspace.
In a 2004 article in the journal CyberPsychology & Behavior, John Suler, a psychologist at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J., suggested that several psychological […]
Two pieces of information got me thinking about censorship in India — Niranjana’s post on banned books and news that the Government of India (GOI) was taking action against Neo Sports.
Let me restate - my Neo Sports post on their advertisements on the West Indies tour stated that I personally found the ads tasteless and […]
On Valentine’s Day, you can determine if you have “true romance and poetry” in your soul. Ready? Look at the Google logo on the left. Do you see the L?
According to Google’s Doodle creator, he didn’t forget the letter, the stem is supposed to be the L. If you don’t see it, don’t worry […]
