On my strange and funny dreams. Continue reading
Talent and Intelligence
If hard work does not entitle us to fat bonuses, perhaps our “talent” does? This is the third in the series of posts based on an upcoming column of mine in the Wilmott Magazine. Continue reading

Bushisms
Bush has just left the building. Perhaps the world will be a kinder, gentler place now. But it will certainly be a less funny place. For life is stranger than fiction, and Bush was funnier than any stand-up comedian. Jon Stewart is going to miss him. So will I. Continue reading
Geeks
I have been doing a bit of geeky stuff lately — writing Wordpress plugins. That made me think… We all started off as geeks, didn’t we? What’s the use denying it? Remember how the teachers loved us, and the sexy cheerleaders, well, didn’t? During our moments of panic, we go back to our geeky roots. At least, I do. Continue reading
Meeting Bingo Game
This one is a hilarious piece I found on the Web. If you really like it, you have to wonder — am I still doing too much techie stuff and too little management? Continue reading

Mensa Word Play
Okay, they say this Mensa Invitational by the Washington Post is just as fictional as these words. But these words — man, are they funny! Continue reading

For Malayalees Only

The Worldly Malayalees
I wrote this piece on the World Malayalee Conference 2008 for a Singaporean newspaper. I was away in India during the conference (22-25 August, 2008) and did not see it in print. This post is about my home state of Kerala, its language Malayalam, and those who speak it – the Malayalees. If those words make no sense to you, you may not be interested in this post.

God’s Blunder
Is man one of God’s blunders? Or is God one of man’s blunders? Why would Nietzsche say a thing like that? Here are my thoughts. Continue reading

Are You a Malayali?
If you have to ask what in the world a Malayali is, then this post is not for you! This one came as email flotsam and was too funny to pass up. In other words, if you are a Malayali and find this one a bit offensive, trust me, I didn’t write it! Must have been a North Indian lobby! Continue reading

La chienne
Another of my French “redactions,” this piece is a translation of a joke, which perhaps didn’t translate too well. I was told that the French version was in poor taste. Now, reading it again, I feel that the English version doesn’t fare much better. You be the judge! Continue reading
La pauvre famille
Another one of my early “redactions” describing a rich girl’s perspective of what poverty is all about. Enjoy! Continue reading
Les fermier
One of my “redactions” for my French courses. My fellow students and teacher loved it, hope you will too.
Les fermiers aux Etats Unis ont de la chance – ils ont de grandes fermes. Ce n’est pas le cas en Mexique. Mais, le Mexicain de qui je vais vous parler, etait assez content de sa ferme. Une fois, un fermier texan est venu chez notre Mexicain.[...] Continue reading
Les chapatis
Another one of my “redactions” for my French courses. My fellow students and teacher loved it, hope you will too.
En Inde, on mange ce qui s’appelle des “chapatis”. C’est un peu comme les baguettes en France.[...]
