Here’s something that some random portion of my readers might be interested in. And don’t worry. I haven’t turned all religious. I have just always liked the pictures—they’re part of my childhood days… That… and I wanted to try out the gallery feature in WordPress to see what it is all about…

I was just having some fun at work a couple of weeks ago, trying to put some positive and creative pressure on a co-worker, so I created this fake center to compete with the center she is heading (the Advanced Centre for Enabling Disaster Risk Reduction [at the Tata-Dhan Academy where I work]). The result? [...]

What an interesting morning. We all woke up very well-rested from our comfortable business hotel, but nevertheless, were dissatisfied with the pricing, location, and so on.

It’s freezing—even for me—and being in an open Jeep doesn’t really [...]
This morning, we found out that Mr. Lucky wouldn’t be able to join us on the rest of our trip. We had just begun to break him in! Anyway, his replacement, who went by either Bakshi or Raj, seemed to be a lot of fun from the start, so we weren’t too worried about anything.
