Almost 8 months at ISB, and I am forced by my inner self to put my thoughts on my blog.At ISB we are inspired to be thought leaders, to tread where no one has has dared to, to look at the big picture and sometimes even beyond it :PBut often tiny small things, unnoticeable yet important, things a part of our daily lives, bring the ISBians down to their knees. This post is an ode to thee.1. That

So how much would you pay for a plate of pani puri??My neighbourhood bhaiyaji charges Rs.5 for 6 puris + the yummy masala puri. Moving a bit upmarket towards Powai, my colleague introduced me to a shop selling chat saying 'bada stud pani puri hota hai yahan ka'...the foodie that i am, oblivious to everything i gobbled an entire plate on not much of an empty stomach and it costed me Rs.12 ...if i

Am back from Kothligad, another trekking spot struck off the list. The previous beingHarishchandragadMahuli (Not complete)RajmachiKarnalaToo many still to go :P . We planned to meet at 6 at Ghatkopar railway station to catch the Karjat local scheduled at 06:15AM. We had two ticket counters brimmed to the full with people waiting for tickets. :( Needless to say by the time we got tickets (actually

A much needed break was in the offing when we decided to make the weekend an adventurous one. The plan was to encompass as many people as possible, but.......We zeroed in on Rajmachi, due to its proximity from Mumbai so that we can make it to and fro the same day.Rajmachi:Rajmachi is a village on the hills around 13 kms from Karjat. There are two forts around 1/2hr uphill from Rajmachi,

Circa December '07 , when my dear friend Varun gave me the big idea of registering for the Marathon and I did.With much gusto I resolved that I would start training for it, start running for atleast 20 mins a day. Well well, start I did, but like many of the ambitious ventures, this venture soon lost steam :P . For various reasons, ranging from common cold to reduced inclination to get out of

Early today morning when I woke up and had a look outside my partially closed window, i was surprised to find a cherubic little birdy on my window, specifically speaking it was one of the love bird pairs. Sadly he/she was alone.Anyone who has read Paul Coelho's Alchemist might be tempted to say that this was an omen of things to come. May be the entrance of a loved one in my life, or may be as

Am back after a small hiatus, blogging about my NOT so recent trip to God's Own Country - Kerala.Why does KTDC (Kerala Tourism Development Corporation) brand it as "God's Own Country" ; well the probable answer might be that, whichever place you visit in Kerala, has a unique history attached to one of its temples. This particular observation came to me through this visit, which my dad proudly

Wonder why the same starting comes to my mind while writing... this time too the trip was finalised after a number of retakes, may be its just bad luck or may be its His way of teaching us "try n try till u succeed". Whatever it be the outcome was nothing less than perrrrfect.With the reporting time being 0745 and the place being 140kms from Mumbai, the day started pretty early. The team for

After n number of discussions, canceled plans, reschedulings etc we finally decided the day and venue for the trek. 15th Aug, freedom not only from britishers, but also from mundane activities of a typical office going guy, and the venue chosen Mahuli fort.The group consisted of 8 people -Vijay, Swati, Michelle, Priyanka, Naveen, Tarun, Shirish and me.After rendezvousing at Thane station, a slow
