This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
As Krishnan drove from Udavum Ullangal to Red Ginger through the narrow bylanes of Mandaveli, I was terrified that the Yeti might get nicked and worse that we might just hit one of the “weavers” :):):). The weavers are not the saree makers but men and women who blend with their bikes and weave in … Read more
This Christmas we had a mini reunion of the KV Happy Valley gang. Adeeti, Nishi, Seema, Javed and I got together at my place for lunch and what a fun day it turned out to be !! Seema was the first to arrive and good that she did, because she has missed meeting me as … Read more
Yesterday I was at ISB attending “Solstice”. I went too early so managed to catch up with Nishi and Geetu while waiting for Sanchita. I love the campus and it felt nice to be back. Once Sanchita came, we walked around the stalls and then got a foot massage at the RC. Just before the … Read more
In exactly a month from now, 60 of us would have completed our Exec MBA. A journey that started in March 2012 … Meeting everyone for the first time in May and then classes starting from August. It seems unbelievable that we did it 🙂 I was talking to Venky, Arup and Punitha the other … Read more
The last two days were very special for me ..

Krishnan’s pain on Sunday was caused by a disc that was protruding and touching a nerve. Sunday was the first time I have seen Krishnan cry out in pain and it was so tough to not be able to do anything to ease the pain…. Today he has just undergone a minimally invasive procedure to … Read more
Some of you may wonder, how this quote applies to the corporate world …. This probably applies even more than the other quotes of Swami Vivekananda that I have posted so far. He talks of dropping the ego and love. Just look at the root cause of office conflicts, politics, one-upmanship, stress – it’s people’s … Read more
Just had the most awesome start to the year … First, we entered Darbar Sahib (the Golden Temple) exactly at 11.59 pm and as we rang in the New Year with the shimmering temple shrouded in thick fog and still so peaceful. Crowds were thronging the parikrama, but still there was serenity in the air. … Read more
Yesterday was meeting Manish and family and trying out Kerala style “Veg stew” for the first time … It’s also the first time I realised I have only 6 small “katoris” and a dozen of them have been left behind in Gurgaon. I can’t invite you home Dhruv, I know :):) The day before was … Read more
People behave strangely when flights get delayed, me included. The Indigo 8.20pm flight from Delhi to Bangalore was delayed to 9 pm and then to 9.20 pm and then finally took off at 10.20 pm !! The biggest learning is not to take the last flight of any airline. The first flight of Indigo at … Read more
