Many experiences that have shaped me. Travel, hobbies, trainings etc. Each of these experiences helped unpeal the onion ever more as I keep striving to unleash the child lost underneath. And the aha moments have been truly aha – sometimes my sons during our cycle rides, sometimes my so called foolish braveries like multi-day motor bike riding, sometimes those innocuous kids I meet during my volunteering activities, and many times those wonderful long walks with my wife discovering new destinations. While none of the trips or activities may be unique, the abrasions/ polishes during these learnings are what helping me re-discover myself.
Inspirations from the Art of War by Sun Tzu
It is difficult to imagine what influence can one draw from war strategies till you read one. The Art of War surprised me with the level of operational cadence put into war planning.

Gravity, magnetism and self
This is a new ride inspired by the latest Hollywood super hit Gravity. The movie has a 15 minute sequence when Sandra and George are separated from the space ship and each other after a debris shower. Lack of gravity in an unplanned event can be devastating. For the viewers it was dis-orienting given most…
The Power of
A young parent correcting a child asking for a pocket money raise is a fascinating battle of grit vs paranoia which is usually won by fear. Similarly the child asking for an extra chocolate or candy may meet with a sharp reprimand from the parent, for fear of such requests becoming a habit. Policing the…
Take a grip and drive safe
It isn’t too easy to make sports inspired movies – Race wasn’t a bad attempt at bringing out the 1976 legendary duel between 2 world class F1 car racers – James Hunt and Niki Lauda. It was Racy indeed! Funnily enough though it tickled the scientist in me. And the point of debate was the…
Kids and adult-hood

Obama tax un-relief to US outsourcing companies!
Early days to predict if it would hurt India, but not too early days to start splicing and inviting comments. Obama’s new proposal (*) is an interesting move, well timed from 2 perspectives: 1. popularity: gaining commoner’s confidence who wouldn’t understand the dynamics and is happy to make an opinion out of headlines and rhetorics…
