'Swap'ping lives: January 2012
http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Have you read ' Midnight's Children. I did A few years back. Didn't get it. And consequently relegated Salman Rushdie as a writer who I would always deride and not recommend to anyone. Not that my non-recommendation had any great effect on his fan following. He still managed to date (and marry? A lady with her name as the only problem in her life. Oh, and a fascination for older gentlemen. But recently I picked up ' Shalimar the Clown. By Mr Rushdie from the library. The book ta...

'Swap'ping lives: An ode to Elderman
http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-ode-to-elderman.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. An ode to Elderman. In the recent past, respecting elders has been coming more naturally to me than ever before. It’s not that I have become a nicer person, or that there has been an eye-opening incident that has driven forth the value of age and experience. But I digress. The key thing I want to write about an angel on earth. After all who is an angel? Yes, going by that definition, he is definitely an angel sent on this earth to spread joy and clarity. He is one of the most proli...

'Swap'ping lives: April 2014
http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. I slept at 3:30 am on Thursday. Slept at 3 am on Friday. Fell ill by Saturday. No, I'm not leveraging the new 1 am deadline in Bangalore to paint the town red. Nor am I working hard on an investment banking deal which would net me millions of dollars. Instead it is this exasperating thing. This little niggle that refuses to leave me with any peace. Its a festering little wound that keeps reminding you of its presence with a nagging low level pain that just doesn't go away. Many o...

http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 3, 2013. And yes, this is part of a resolution to quit being lazy and get the blog rolling again. And considering its only the 3rd of January, I am still firm on (most of) my resolutions. Now, there's a large backlog of topics to write about. I mean, the last post was over four months ago! And so many things have got me thinking 'Ah, I've got to write about this! However, writing about the domestic helps, quite frankly, is not the most exciting way to start the new year. Tennis court (I...

'Swap'ping lives: August 2012
http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 10, 2012. I am part of a very exclusive group of people here in Bangalore. It comprises of Pappu, Guddu and me. We're the only three people in Bangalore who have NOT travelled to the US. Now, with the IT hub it is, everyone seems to casually slip away to the US on a project/client meeting/random HR incentive-junket. But Pappu, Guddu and I have not been there. Of course with Pappu and Guddu being being 2 and 3 years old respectively, the exclusivity of the group becomes a-cuter). Overall I ...

'Swap'ping lives: May 2014
http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 17, 2014. The Hidden Joy of Mr. Rahul Gandhi. Am I the only one who thinks Rahul Gandhi looks so much more happy since the election results? The judgemental focus on his performance during the campaign would have undermined his confidence even further. I don't think anyone can be thick skinned enough when almost every single word, every single gesture was. and continues to be, analysed and criticized by numerous pundits. And he certainly doesn't seem to be thick skinned at all&#...So to tho...

http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Once you stop writing regularly, it becomes increasingly difficult to start up again. You go through your daily life and experience many things that you could convert into a good post. But somehow you end up not writing anything.just procrastinating to the point where you can't recall when you used to write often and extensively. Anyway, I'm just going to write about a few things that have happened recently. I may not even publish this on the blog.lets see. Subscribe to: Posts ...

'Swap'ping lives: Carpenter near.in you?
http://swappinglives.blogspot.com/2015/06/do-you-have-carpenter-nearin-you.html
Sunday, June 7, 2015. Carpenter near.in you? Now I did all this fairly promptly (4-5 weekends). Pretty good really, but considering I've moved houses seven times in the last eight years, I'm a pro at this. So house rented, I slipped into the mellow lethargy or a job well done.until I was rudely awakened by AV. We'll go out for dinner tonight! But now things got really urgent (things started getting thrown, simple words were met with eyes staring mournfully at resplendent, empty walls). So I trudged d...

Saturday, June 23, 2012. Sometimes, some things happen that shake the blogger in your heart to the very core. Shake him out of his self-imposed (not deliberate) exile and make him take up a pen, umm keyboard, again. You great, great guy. You made me come back to the blogosphere. So as the sophisticated and intellectual reader base of this blog would've understood by now, this post is about the modern day classic, Gangs of Wasseypur. What just happened here? Why did you choose this movie? Which was mostly...
