On Name and Shame
Ever since I arrived to the UK, it happens to me at least once a week that I hand my card to a cashier (supermarket, boots etc) and if he/she happens to be of south Asian origin (Indian to be precise) it will be hard for them to chock/disguise the chuckle…
Apparently, Sharabi in Hindu means [...]
Really nice bike garage
Anyone with a scooter (or bigger, or a car actually) knows the somehow inevitable experience of getting your vehicle to the garage with a minor problem and getting the phone call (and later the bill) that ACTUALLY, it’s not that minor and you need to replace the engine or something…. And more often than not [...]
Best Flickr group ever
I guess it’s some primal evolutionary as well as cultural disposition - it happens to me all the time that I attribute some living or emotional characteristic to inanimate objects. And it’s quite amazing how much stuff you can project on a bloody screw head!

yes, i’m back on facebook
I’m saving this dish for the occasion of me starting twittering (;-)) but after my so-long-facebook-drama-queen-post I thought I ought to explain why I’m back there….

I don’t get birthday cards ;-)
Don’t intend to rant, honestly….just to share a minor cultural bewilderment….
I honestly don’t get birthday cards. Well, I do get the idea of the card. What I find bemusing (and amusing) is the recurrent secretive ritual around it.
So every week or so some other dude (or dudett) from your office has a birthday and [...]
Amazon Spam?
I’ve received a couple of spam comments on this blog which clearly seem to be from no other then….Amazon.com.
Could that be true? Amazon spamming?

on odd search
Every now and then I like to check my mint (sitemeter) to see how people arrive to this blog, that is, from where, and what where they after (search terms). There’s always interesting stuff to learn from these “referrals”. That’s, for example how I realised I need to delete the cock-a-doodle post I wrote [...]
This and That
It’s been really quite here the last week…..and I get this bloggers’ block growing on me every day I don’t write….
Well this week I haven’t been to the office - I have been at the ICA all week for a wonderful workshop on storytelling and culture leadership (thanks so much Pokers for freeing me for [...]
happy blog day 2007
public/collective dates usually make me uncomfortable but I’m happy to rejoin the blog day tradition. As far as i am able to tell BlogDay was initiated in 2005 by Nir Ofir, Israeli blogger and producer of BlogTV, with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know bloggers from other countries, [...]
