This blog suffers from an identity crisis: Thoughts on a train
http://arjunsanyal.blogspot.com/2009/09/thoughts-on-train_11.html
This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Friday, September 11, 2009. Thoughts on a train. Why does the train always speed up when they are serving tea? Never been able to decide whether I should wait for soup to arrive before I smother the breadsticks with butter and gobble them up. What's up with the veggie soup? What happened to good ol' tomato? Why have they stopped serving. Has Mamati-di got something to do with the removal of anything that could be remotely linked to a Lalu legacy?

This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Monday, September 28, 2009. Happy Durga Puja - Finishing four years' quota in one. 2005 and 06 were in Ahmedabad. Was enthusiastic enough to go pandal. Hopping one year, and see only three (could have been four, am not sure), and also participated in getting a Puja organized on our campus for the first time. 2007 was a damp squib. I was in Malaysia. Bombay ('08) turned out to be better. Managed to visit 5 different pandals. Dance with the Dhaakis. The Kashmere G...

This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Saturday, October 04, 2008. Why do sweets taste better during festivals? The festive season in most countries is Christmas or Easter; in some, it is Ramzan; in India, something is on all the year around. But for a Bengali, there is nothing to beat Durga Puja. And somehow, the same street food tastes so much better in these 4-5 days. What I tried out recently is the Md.Ali Road area (Menara Masjid) during Ramzan - it was awesome! The second time we went there, th...

This blog suffers from an identity crisis: I feel small
http://arjunsanyal.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-feel-small.html
This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Saturday, September 12, 2009. When I am unable to walk a few miles. When I see an animal with claws and fangs. When I can’t see the edge of the ocean. When I see the snow-capped mountains rising above me. When I am able to travel hundreds of miles. When I see the animal with claws and fangs caged, and not able to hurt me. When I know there is no edge to the ocean. When I climb the mountains and see the valley below me. When I see the animal caged.

This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Sunday, May 17, 2009. So what's happening on the job front? Aren't you in the management trainee program? Yes, I am. You've been here for a long time now? A little more than a year now. What happened to your rotations then? I don't know. I just stuck around. Is the program over now? So what happens now? Either we continue with our current roles, or we apply to other available roles. You have been here for a long time. So, your boss wants you to continue? Hero Ho...

This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Saturday, July 26, 2008. Saw an ad for the new Kit Kat Chunky. Won’t comment on the quality of the ad, impact etc. but writing just to make this comment: this ad brings sex back to chocolate. The ad shows a guy and a girl sitting on a railway station bench. The guy opens a Kit Kat Chunky explaining how these “beauties” mix the cocoa and the hazelnuts (with the accompanying visuals, of course! Kuchh meetha ho jaaye. Whatever it is about chocolate that attracts so...

This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Saturday, November 01, 2008. What am I font of? I want to post something, I get confused about what font to use. A preview generally helps about what may look good and readable. (This is Lucida. But then, I publish it and see that the previous post is of a completely different font and probably looks better than what I just published. (This is Verdana. I think I am inclined towards Georgia. There are two fonts I know I don't want to use -. But sometimes I go to ...

This blog suffers from an identity crisis: January 2009
http://arjunsanyal.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
This blog suffers from an identity crisis. Saturday, January 31, 2009. 2008 wasn't that great a year, but 2009 is off to a good start. One month down and life, though could have been better, isn't that bad. Money-wise I have been a bit lucky, but I guess discounts (Big Retail is not doing so well) shouldn't count much. Have been able to catch up with some good friends and enjoyed some long conversations after a long time. For the first time (and as usual thought about the Emirates ad).
