As in Narnia, so in Mumbai.

“In acts of violence whether on a large or small scale, the bitter paradox:
the meaningfulness of death and the meaninglessness of killing.”
- Dag Hammarskjold, Markings

On September 23rd, 1990, I set foot in Mumbai (then Bombay) for my postgraduate training in General Surgery. Almost instantly, I fell in love with a vibrant, energetic and cosmopolitan metropolis that would be my home for the next 3 years.
I operated at the G.T.hospital and Lady Cama, ogled girls at St.Xavier’s college, watched […]
I have been flitting from blog to blog, tweet to tweet, news channel to news channel, unable to focus on much else.
My city is in the throes of a cyclone that has flooded streets, cut off power, and practically made a busy metropolis grind to a halt.
But what’s happening miles away in Mumbai is making […]
Like millions of Indians today, I’m trying to make sense of mayhem.
To me, the terror strikes in Mumbai are a repeat performance of a dastardly act from 15 years ago, one which has given me nightmares and tested my faith in a way nothing else ever has… because I was right in the middle of […]

Dr.Robert Cialdini wrote one of the most impactful books on applied human behavioral psychology, especially in society. It’s called “INFLUENCE: The Psychology […]
“American Idol” seems to have taken the world by storm, creating spin-offs in many fields. Like “Blogging Idol”.
I’ve had difficulty understanding the popularity of such a contest, or the craving to be recognized as an ‘idol’. But then, it’s been a long time since I was a kid… and yesterday, a youngster reminded […]
Today, Lynn Terry published an amazing blog post that delved deep into her recent (not so pleasant) experience with affiliate marketing.
After many frustrating weeks handling multiple problems that came from her endorsement, she was at the end of her patience. She even drafted out a long blog post explaining what went wrong, and apologizing […]
