Monsoon 2009 | Flashback
Friday, November 13, 2009

These are some pictures of a hailstorm during the last monsoon season in India while I was at home in Chandigarh. I just couldnt get up from the verandah facing the garden. The rain drops on the limes are just mouth watering ! You can never forget the smell of wet dirt back in India ... It is the best thing you can ever give to your soul ... I miss my DSLR :(

Uni Friends - Part 1
Tuesday, November 10, 2009

 Oh my you got to love the beer after a hectic day of lectures, well that is exactly what the MBA gives you ... drumloads of bitter juice to appease your stress levels. This is a pic from the Diwali bash in Soho where I was pictured with an obviously loose turban of mine. Forget that, just concentrate on the fun ... will ya ! Look at Joel at the back on the left ... he seems to have applied a Sensodyne Whitening recently! It is half past 12 at midnight and I got to go back to sleep ... business formals tomorrow ... sigh !

Love where you live !

A view of the London skyline from my apartment in Brentford at around 6:00 AM in the morning. Spectacular, soothing, its like chicken soup for my eyes. Love this city and love the people even more ... The M4 is bustling with activity as is the case on weekends. It is amazing to record the traffic patterns while I sit on my ass doing quizzes over the weekends.

Religion and Scientology
Friday, October 30, 2009

I am bewildered by the very thought of a religion started on absolutely basic fundamentals but innovated in the 21st century. Religion has a history and was started for a need and motivation that is relatively much stronger and more focused than the need to alleviate a few sins (painkillers can do the job for you if you think that is the problem). Religion has always been based on sound and unshaken fundamentals which form the basis of humanity. I question the need of a 21st century religion because the offer will obviously already have a substitute in another religion. The need is to have unity along with persistence of our strong beliefs and desires. Another religion doesn't solve a problem, it adds complexity to human life. The intention may be there but I strongly believe that the apostles of Scientology are establishing principles that exist on good ground in other religions. What people want is to pursue what they choose to be good for them and religions are meant to teach what good they have to offer. Merely packaging the century old fundamentals into a form that a new generation finds easy to relate to is like showing preference to remain uneducated about other religions. I question Scientology and I oppose it unless they can tell me how they differentiate themselves. They, according to me, are doing more harm than good in the long run.

Geared out of neutral !
Friday, October 16, 2009

Hiya ! Been a while since I have written anything useful while I was busy switching things with my professional life. I have finally got into a college of choice after struggling for 2 years keeping on track along with the pressure of work. Well, its done now and only needs to be dusted in a year ! The experience is enriching, powerful and motivating. The cohort is fabulous while I get to meet new folks every day ... Call it Speed Friend-making ... but you quickly realize that they make you feel important and of some worth on this earth. I will try penning my thoughts down whenever I get time away from my brain-drilling. I wont drop the pen this time ... hope to carry on writing ...
