By 35, I firmly believed that everything I had been taught in Organizational Behaviour during my management course was pure fiction and _________(expletive beeped out).

Move over 'excellence' - mediocrity reigns supreme when affirmative action is the political play.

Glad someone said this. Most Punjabi singers are pretty sleazy on their lyrics. Some get shot and martyred.

Pax China!

Will April 14th, 2024 be a re-run of Sep 1st, 1939? Time will tell.

More recent shots of #Gingee fort. It was one heck of a climb in the heat of April 2019. Sharing to and from shots of the Raja Fort hilltop.

Can understanding Karnataka's traditional systems of water management solve modern problems faced by Bangalore? My latest story on Firstpost
