“Problems are meant to be solved …. not grumbled about"
This is one of the many good lessons I have learned from my friend Sachin. The deplorable state of various amenities in our hostels is something we constantly whine about. I had an interesting experience recently in this regard. There is a cistern above the urinals in our washrooms. I am not sure if peopleContinue reading ““Problems are meant to be solved …. not grumbled about"”
Work hard dude..
We have always despised government departments and offices for being inefficient and corrupt. We view them as a store house of lazy babus.

Also, after daysContinue reading “About me : part II : the mother nature”

Mixed doubles and School
The 2 good movies i watched today. Well good is a relative term. Even for one person, the same movie feels good in one frame and sucks in another. But both the films were good time pass, reason being they are not the regular hindi movies with the same old crap of cheap humor orContinue reading “Mixed doubles and School”
