All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R.Tolkien. Random reminiscences and pointless contemplation. Wednesday, 9 June 2010. Day 1 back in helL. 09:00 - get room cleaned, transfer all luggage. 11:00 - Registration, endless forms (Umang counter guys speed of working seemed like the super slow motion cam they use in IPL). 13:00 - helLs kitchen, back to endless aloo varieties. 13:30 - catch a wink, only to be woken up by usual Tiwari nautanki. 19:00 - Squash :) :) :).

Vimal Pillai: Journey is the reward!
http://vimalpillai13.blogspot.com/2015/06/journey-is-reward.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. Journey is the reward! My mother thinks I am the best writer in the world! I am sure no- one (including me) agrees to this.I would love to say "Mom's are always right" but the fact is "Love is blind and mother's love for her children is blinder". I posted this picture that I clicked last week on Facebook and she asked me to write a poetry on this when I get time. Put together a few lines on my perspective as below. The trees went out of their way, to strike an awesome pose,. Only h...

Vimal Pillai: EarNing THE EarRing
http://vimalpillai13.blogspot.com/2011/07/earning-earring.html
Monday, July 11, 2011. I am back with some rhyming lines which I like to call poems. This one is an ear ring describing a lady and how she enjoyed EarNing the EarRing! Wrote it for my wifey who thought I should write one for her:). It goes as below. The luster that I possessed, made me truly stand out,. I am really precious, I knew that beyond doubt. Among all my peers, I had some serious clout,. Ain’t it sad, this fact, I really had to shout. Nicely placed was I, in a cabinet with glass on top,. Felt go...

Vimal Pillai: October 2014
http://vimalpillai13.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Harishchandra was a name which was not contemporary. The man who carried this name was. While he appeared simple, his ideas were contemporary, perhaps ahead of their time. Harry, as he was known in the business circles of Mumbai, was a millionaire at 25 and a billionaire at 28. He was living a fairy tale. Not many knew of the hard work and business acumen that took Harry to where he was, at 28. A day before his 30. Today is his 45. He was asked to speak a few words and the da...

http://vimalpillai13.blogspot.com/2008/03/yashoda-uncut-version.html
Sunday, March 9, 2008. All MMS batchmates of mine will know where this is leading to.For the rest ,I will explain.I mnt stopping my MMS batchmates from reading the explaination though. There was a lecturer of our's who would make people sing for coming late to class.This punishment was something I was petrified of. For all of you who don't know me,I don't sing even when I am alone at home.I am that confident of my singing abilities.So,I had to find a way out of this.if I went in late to class. There are ...

Vimal Pillai: Anger, Hurt, Embarrassment, Love, Pride …All in that one moment!
http://vimalpillai13.blogspot.com/2012/12/anger-hurt-embarrassment-love-pride-all.html
Saturday, December 1, 2012. Anger, Hurt, Embarrassment, Love, Pride …All in that one moment! It was 4 am It was also a Sunday morning. Most people would be sleeping, some would be in the middle of a dream or a nightmare, some awake yet unaware of where they are. I was awake. Wide awake and on my way to the domestic airport at Mumbai to catch a 6 am flight to Bangalore… oops! Bangalore. My parents and my better half were accompanying me. My wife, enthused with the opportunity to pull my leg, pointed out t...

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R.Tolkien: Why?
http://itsussmeagollum.blogspot.com/2009/04/why.html
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R.Tolkien. Random reminiscences and pointless contemplation. Saturday, 25 April 2009. Is there a second serve in tennis? No other game has it. Its quite ridiculous actually. Imagine a volleyball or badminton player getting a second serve. I am sure an elder brother invented it. He missed the serve while playing with his younger brother and demanded a second serve, and it became a rule. Is the hindi movie named Ram Lakhan? Subscri...

Monday, 25 February 2008. 66 kilo Asian guy enters (me! 140 Kilo guy looks at 66 kilo Asian and says: "As-Salaam Alaykum". 66 kilo Asian: "wa `Alaykum As-Salām". 140 Kilo guy: "Arabic? 66 kilo Asian: "No! 140 Kilo guy: "Pakistani? 66 kilo Asian: "No! 140 Kilo guy is rather clueless at this point. 140 Kilo guy: "Aaahhh!

http://itsussmeagollum.blogspot.com/2008/08/rocking-chef.html
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R.Tolkien. Random reminiscences and pointless contemplation. Saturday, 30 August 2008. Found this cool chef from Chennai on YouTube:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/user/vahchef. This guy is absolutely incredible. The sheer enthusiasm he exudes in his videos honestly inspires one to start cooking. Fittingly, his motto goes as "Inspiring others to cook". He has his own website too: http:/ www.vahrehvah.com/. 8 September 2008 at 14:36.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R.Tolkien: The other kind of IIM
http://itsussmeagollum.blogspot.com/2009/02/other-kind-of-iim.html
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R.Tolkien. Random reminiscences and pointless contemplation. Thursday, 12 February 2009. The other kind of IIM. Nicely written - quite a thought. It is indeed a worry, and shame too, because the rightful candidates also get listed as black sheep. Part of the blame goes to them too, as they never thought why they jumped in this line - probably followed the rest of the herd, as you too pointed out. 12 February 2009 at 03:52. The ot...
