To Writing More!

By
This year I celebrated 10 years of blogging. And I told myself, this year is make or break. Either I take writing seriously, or I stop this languid approach I have towards writing, altogether. Thankfully, the former happened.
And so, after years of writing (and not writing in long periods), I have, for the first time ever, taken the plunge into writing formally. 
As of this month, I am now a Staff Writer on The Decision Lab, a behavioural science think tank that takes the lead in publishing content related to the subject. 

 Here's my first article for them!

 Needless to say, this blog stays alive to see another day. I know, I know. Blogger sucks. Hard to comment. Time to move on and all that. But, you know, nostalgia.

 So, I'll still keep posting here. If nothing else, links to my articles on Decision Lab.

 Cheers!

    Awesome article..but I remember reading your potato story in this blog only before.. anyways.. nostalgia..
    I totally agree with your last paragraph however.. please continue writing in ..a personal blog but please do continue in WordPress.. You would be having a whole big blogging community following you instead of some spooky advertiser !!😉 I would miss reading your articles when you start writing less often 🥺

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter?

The Truant Family!

By
The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?" She resumed her climb up carefully, so as not to tear her skirt. The trick was to choose the right branches.She had barely moved up one level, when she felt a tug again. She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...

The Top 5 List!

Nothing. Nothing at all prepares you for office-life post college. No amount of counseling, talking to Seniors, reading self help book, listening to lectures from parents and elder siblings, Googling about "Life At Company X". Nothing I am not saying work is boring. Far from it. All I am implying is that, office is not like college and everyone realizes that the hard way, at some point in time. For some, it's Day One. For some, it's post the training period. For some, it's the first appraisal. For some, it's the day you resign.  But thankfully, there are a million things that make office, umm, let's say, bearable. So, presenting to you, my list of: TOP FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE OFFICE FUN! AT NUMBER 5 : Chai Breaks! Nope. I do not drink Chai, or Coffee, or Alcohol, or even aerated drinks. But when the others go out for Chai, I tag along diligently. I stand there in the sun and squint my eyes in the heat to watch my colleagues sip on deadly hot, hot chai ma...
