  • I have often wondered what if Harry had decided to give up on the search for horcruxes and instead had engaged in the quest for the hallows.Did he do it because he was supposed to do it out of some responsibility ?Did he do it because that was the right thing to do ?Did he…

  • This is not a timed list as in I don’t expect to mark a check against all of these by the end of the year. I just wish to work towards them. The joy of preparation and anticipation is more than achievement, I say 🙂* Read a lot of marathi books. At least more than…

  • Pre.S. I have many best friends, who entered my life (and I also entered their life) at different phases. This is one of the oldest!I know KT since bachpan, first standard to be clear. We were in the same ‘group’, childhood groupism was more about eating lunches together, playing any game as a team, sitting together in…

But then I went to US and it gradually stopped.…

  • A letter …

    There is a charming feeling of belonging about one’s home. And it is this feeling which makes me love travelling. It is the greatest moment of any journey.Movement for the sake of movement is sometimes justified and mostly needed. But it is the feeling of stability, comfort that we humans greatly appreciate. Or must it…

  • 1. I think its torture to have your ex-employer in your network (read facebook, twitter, blogger, etc). Its like having to have a forced relationship with your ex. Every time someone new (a new hire) enters their life, you have to learn to ignore it or bear the heartache of why not me ???  In…
