atthespeedofmythoughts: Why love matters
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-love-matters.html
Monday, November 01, 2010. I picked up the book 'Why Love Matters' expecting more insights into parenting concepts. The book's cover says that it's essential reading for parents. However I was quite disappointed as the book doesn't really provide any learnings for normal parents. I would recommend reading 'What every parent needs to know' which has the same concept explained more concisely and is more relevant or 'What's Going on in There' which has a lot more details about brain development.

atthespeedofmythoughts: Real World Economics
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2006/09/real-world-economics.html
Sunday, September 10, 2006. It's the 3rd week of my MBA program at INSEAD. One thing I am enjoying a lot, besides the huge parties, is the optional reading material of the courses. These readings are mostly applications of what we are taught in class to real world situations. One such reading was an article The $100 Terrorist Insurance Plan. It's a shame that I hardly have time to read the optional cases which are the most fun part of the courses. Posted by anshu @ 1:12 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

atthespeedofmythoughts: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-alchemist-by-paulo-coelho.html
Saturday, December 20, 2014. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's one of those books that you read and want to discuss with someone to try to understand better. I'm writing about it instead in the hope that writing about it will help me understand the message better. So I've listed below some of the learnings I can apply right now (spoiler alert: if you haven't read the book then don't read the below):. Hence the journey is as important (if not more important) as the end goal. Take your time getting there...

A couple of interesting smaller projects this month. All roles are cisgender female. Albert Cashier", at The Chicago Music Theatre Festival. The Transcivility of Albert Cashier. By Jay Paul Deratany. Music and lyrics by Coyote Joe Stevens. Directed by Keaton Wooden. Perhaps the first documented female-to-male transgender American, Albert served for years in the Civil War, and then lived their entire life as a man. Only when hospitalized late in life was their secret revealed. 2 Workshops: The Quiet Ones.

atthespeedofmythoughts: 2 states by Chetan Bhagat
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2011/03/2-states-by-chetan-bhagat.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. 2 states by Chetan Bhagat. I've had an interstate marriage as well but didn't relate much to the cultural differences described in the book. However, I think every married couple would relate to the histrionics of in laws described in the book. For example, not wanting your own son/daughter to do any work in lieu of the daughter or son in law. Posted by anshu @ 3:01 AM. Comments: Post a Comment. Freedom at Midnigh - July 06.

atthespeedofmythoughts: Teary Eyed Day
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2005/02/teary-eyed-day.html
Sunday, February 27, 2005. When we were done with dinner, in an effort to lighten the mood, we decided to rent "Page 3." It turned out to be another heavy movie. At one point I anticipated a child molestation scene. I hoped it wouldn’t be so, but in vain. It was absolutely horrifying despite the pre-sentience. It didn't make me cry though, just added to the heaviness. Posted by anshu @ 11:22 AM. Heard of dual citizenship? I guess India started giving that. Freedom at Midnigh - July 06. Frisk - May 05.

atthespeedofmythoughts: Lesson learnt
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2005/02/lesson-learnt.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2005. A week ago, I started reading a book, Blink. By Malcolm Gladwell. It's about our subconscious awareness. The idea is fascinating and I was intrigued. I read good reviews in NYTimes and New Scientist so decided to read it. The book however turned out to be a disappointment. Posted by anshu @ 7:34 PM. I think the important thing that you missed about this book was that it told stories about things which we do not pay much attention to. Who would think that "snap" judgements ...

atthespeedofmythoughts: Readme
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2004/07/readme.html
Tuesday, July 06, 2004. I have added links to books I read and movies I watched. I have 3 symbols for movies and books - up for I really liked it, down for I didn't like it and left-right for it was okay. As any reader would be able to tell, I have a natural bias for anything Indian or related to India. Posted by anshu @ 9:00 PM. Comments: Post a Comment. Freedom at Midnigh - July 06.

atthespeedofmythoughts: Madagascar and Parineeta
http://atthespeedofmythoughts.blogspot.com/2005/06/madagascar-and-parineeta.html
Monday, June 20, 2005. I ended up watching two movies - Madagascar. On Saturday. I really liked Parineeta; Madagascar was just okay. On the other hand, Parineeta was totally worth the watch even if I had to drive 40 miles one way and stay up late for a 11 pm show. I forced a friend who is not into Bollywood movies to go watch it with me. It was either the movie or Saki Bombing and she chose the lesser evil. She got converted after watching the movie. We've both been listening to the music. Frisk - May 05.
