Kiran Bedi’s messed up Reality TV show
Firstly, I hate reality shows. Ok, I hate Indian reality shows. I have loved and can’t get enough of shows like Fear Factor, The Apprentice, Pimp My Ride and so many others, but a majority of reality shows, especially Indian ones, are all about crying and bitching and gossiping and politics and so on.

Indian Cookery shows by Foreign Chefs
I love watching any kind of cookery shows. I admit I have never tried even one recipe from those shows, cause I never have the chance to enter the kitchen as it is hogged by mom and wife, but still there is no harm in watching. I don’t like the normal cookery shows that come [...]

Day to Day updates of ACL Reconstruction Surgery
This will be a post of how I have been improving over the days following the ACL reconstruction surgery. What struck me was when the many doctors that I met, who said that this was a minor surgery and that I will be able to bend my knees the very next day after the operation [...]
The bell tolls for the CAT
Until last year, CAT was one of the most prestigious exams to be held in this country. CAT was easily the exam of choice for any MBA aspirant in the country and it was the gateway to many premier MBA institutes in the country. CAT was an entrance exam set up by the IIMs and [...]
DAY 0 – Preparation for the surgery
Friday the 11th was the day I had to check in to the hotel… errr… hospital to undergo my ACL reconstruction surgery the next day. I had to be at the hospital by 2pm, so we had a very early lunch and wife and I left on her Honda Activa to the hospital. It was [...]
