My Calling…

Started by sidin · 6 months ago

When I was around 6 years old I think, the apartment next to mine went up in flames. Not the big, loud flames you always see in the news but never in real life. No, rather the apartment just smouldered, there was a lot of smoke, but little heat, and even less commotion. At that [...] ... Continue reading »

    Whew Sid - that was delectable:


    "I spent a LOT of time watching cookery shows. so many shows, at one point I thought I was putting on weight because of it."



    "No offence to any of you in manufacturing and reading this. I do not mean to insult you, only reveal the potential hidden in just one of your many joints."



    Amazing writing really, though I would have been happier with Lodha and Sunny Deol out of this post. Somehow, made me feel that you're trying too hard.



    And ofcourse, all the best in your new job.



    Cheers,

    Nishit

    That was a beautiful piece of writing, good understated humor. First time I'm on this blog. If there are more people like you at IIMA, it changes my whole perception of the place.
    And yes, congrats etc.

    Bloody encyclopaedias. My mom's way of telling me about 'the birds and the bees' was giving me a set of medical encyclopaedias.
    The encyclopaedias came with pictures. I was twelve. The section on skin ailments still gives me nightmares.
