My friend I, always argue or rather discuss where to buy books online. He is loyal to a particular store. He argues that, though he gets a little raw deal compared to other sites, he is content with the service it provides, for it truly is quick and delivers on the promised day. I differ with him and my principle is ‘Buy where it is the cheapest’. I tell him, I don’t mind waiting a little longer as it would be the same product in the end you would be getting.
I was...

My previous article on Kindle was written after my initial experience with the device. When I read it after some days I felt it was it was little too harsh.

I didn’t want to edit the previous article, but to add some new views, for the views expressed earlier are real and still valid.
I feel my disappointment with the device stemmed out from the fact that it came as a surprise, and not...

Had a wonderful time visiting the Ashram’s lake estate last week. These were clicked at the Matru Udyanam (Hope I got the name right). Thanks to Julia. The dog you see at the bottom is a wonderful guy. He has been there with us all the while, jumping about.

Exercising after a long break, brought back the reminiscences of my high-spirited work out 2 years ago.
When I look back to those days, when I started going to gym, it leaves me amazed by the spirit and enthusiasm I had then in knowing about bodybuilding. I read a lot about workouts and nutrition on the internet, collected tons of material, prepared exercise routines, read volumes of books, experimented new exercises every now and then…I think I’d never be able to muster all...

A mail appeared in my inbox about a trip to a nearby forest. It mentioned about a day in forest to volunteer some work there. It sounded quite exciting. Though the actual motive behind the trip was not very clear then, except for a vague idea that some estimation of forest resources has to be done, with my increased interest in travelling in recent years has prompted me to nominate myself, though all my teammates opted out citing heat and social responsibilities.
