Automatic Transmissions are the way to go

Ever since I had my knee surgery, I have been thinking a lot about cars with automatic transmission. Had I an automatic transmission car at that time, I would have been able to drive myself around in my car for the one month that I was home-ridden. Since then my leg has healed and [...]

Practice makes one perfect

I read this article by Deepak Shinde on how one should respond and not react. I have attached the forward that I had got which was his article. I am unable to find any online reference to the article, so I hope I am not violating any copyright laws.

In search for some good reading

It’s been a long time since I have read good novels. Books that have me riveted to them and ones for which I have given away hours of sleep just so that I can complete that chapter that I was reading. I have spent many a sleepless nights reading such works only to be reminded [...]

Linux makes my head go round

My interactions with Linux have been far from productive. I have tried over 5-6 distros and I have tried them over and over again, but it just hasn’t worked out for me. No, I am not complaining about me not understand how to use linux or otherwise. On the contrary, I am as comfortable using [...]

Rekindling my Photography Interests – The Moon

Moon

Maybe the lunar eclipse that happened a couple of days back was an eclipse on my photography interests. It cast a shadow of doubt on my love of photography and my equipment. I do not have the best camera around, but then I bought this camera very well keeping in mind the advantages that it [...]

Losing interest in Photography

I used to be mad about Photography. Anything that I used to see, I wanted to capture on my camera. I wanted to go out birding and take a lot of photographs of birds. I loved experimenting with the camera and its settings and see in how many different ways and angles could I capture [...]

A Knee to Remember

I was on doing my Physio exercises as usual today and as usual I started dwelling on the past. Basically, in the physio therapy I have to do about 7-8 exercises for 10 counts each and during each exercise I would feel the strain on a particular muscle in the leg and hence I would [...]
