If you have been tuned into the proceedings in the recent weeks, you must by now be wondering like a mute spectator about where it is headed. If you are indeed wondering, you are a cricket fan and if you are not feeling irritated, you are "the" cricket fan.Then, after all the "peace talks" and "compromise formulas" worked out between the two nations, being amazed, when Cricinfo reports about

Its just not about music. Its just not about how some people do music so well. Its about everything related to an evening where you are mesmerized enough to start thinking about the highs and the lows. Of music notes predominantly. The Mohan Veena and the accompanying tabla do wonders. The Alaap and the Jugal bandi. The composition that won the Grammy. And then you start smiling, in a somewhat

I am not taking a very pessimistic view of things, but something just forces me to think in that manner. The way things are going with the independent entity that is India, I see no major difference in the celebrations that marked 50 years of Independence and the ones that are happening now, on 60 years of gaining independence. My conscious, thoughtful self has seen both the events and the import

The inspiration of this post comes from a blog I was reading today. Hailing from Delhi and from a family that knows its food and the preparation well, it is certainly befitting for me to comment on cuisines and eating habits. Having stayed in Bangalore for something like six years adds onto my cuisine-ology! North India (well essentially for a South Indian, everything northwards of Mumbai is

The risk-weighted measure that could discount the pre-determined margins and limits of the holdings can be got as a return of the changes in the hedging activity where you have shorted (the) future (and longed the past?).This discounting process coupled with the implementation of prudential measures for (capital) adequacy should be helpful in making good the downside risk to your holdings and

Attended a workshop on the Draft IT policy of the Government of Kerala as a part of a delegation from IIMK. The policy measures looked sound enough to start with, and the panel discussions on IT's role in society, governance and industry further improved on them. I was a part of the panel discussion on E-Governance measures and was amazed to see the awareness levels of the officers of the state

Saw this piece journal vs. weblog. (courtesy Manu Bhardwaj@LJ)This sounds pretty interesting. Online Journals are different from Weblogs (or Blogs)!

HAD to write this one.if there's beauty to music and poetry, its because of the work of Shiv Kumar Batalvi and Jagjit Singh/Chitra Singh's rendition of the same. I just can't help being a big admirer of this particular brand of music. The way the duo have weaved magic into (already) superlative lyrics and thoughts of Batalvi, is unimaginable. This particular album is named 'Birha Da Sultan' and

okay, I can explain this sudden inclination towards environmental problems!!!When you have a course called 'Environmental Management', you can certainly hope to pick up some gyan on happenings around the world. While most of my colleagues here may not agree with my viewpoint, I feel the course is pretty decent.And I have a midterm to give for this very course after two hours. :)And I have not

The founding fathers of IIM Kozhikode's now famous campus were definitely visionaries. How else can you explain an educational institution that is built on top of two hills and possesses a magnificent rainwater harvesting system. The system is such that the catchment area at the foothills collects almost all the rainwater that falls on the campus through an efficient drainage system and some
