• Nostalgia -Going Back to the Roots…

  

  Mangalore is a coastal city in the southwest of India. Coconut trees, paddy fields, buffalo races, temples, beaches, a life that moves at it’s own pace is what makes this place so different from the other cities in India. It was the only place I visited year after year, every summer holiday because it was where grandma…

• A GIRL I KNEW…

  

  A colleague, a junior, a mentee, a friend, a pleasant neighbor in the office…a little of everything… 8 or 9  years younger than me, pretty, charming , full of life; she had moved to the team adjacent to mine in 2006 from another department, around 10 months before I left the organization. Her workstation was right in front of mine and that became the root cause of our relation. A…
