Last year in April, I was on Bangalore’s Metro train to MG Road, on my way to a meeting. As the train pulled out of Cubbon Park station, a visually impaired young lad got in. Someone scrambled to make way for him. He was on the phone. I glanced at my Kindle, waiting for the […]
I always used to think that you shouldn’t give up on people, ideas, and dreams. I was wrong. Very wrong. I should give up more often. Life is sometimes about giving in, and it is also about giving up. Is this a bad thing? A good thing? Well, you give up on the thought of […]
This is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite series, Downton Abbey.

These days, though, my visits to this office are time-constrained. I usually drop in there in the mornings, and I am off before […]
“Just tell Boy what you want to do. It’s only Boy, after all,” my friend told me yesterday afternoon.
