For our cities, smart is suitable
Development and prosperity are not just about acronyms like HDI but also about the path that luxury takes to becoming a necessity. Technology is always about redefining and reinventing every little aspect affecting our lives to make it fit into its spaces like never before. Thus the word ‘smart’ is no longer about that multi-tasking...
Half Ticket
I am not talking about my days when my parents bought a ‘half ticket’ for me during rail or bus journeys… but of times when we called one friend of ours ‘half ticket’ because he could never understand that the girls in our class would never want to be in our gulli-danda team. Well, not...
Selfie – Selfi – Selfidence – Selfido
Evolution isn’t only for the living… ideas also evolve and not just restructure themselves but emerge in forms that no one could possibly have imagined. Take the humble selfie. It has ‘I, me, and my’ stuffed into it and must have begun in pre-historic times with some aggressive ego-maniacal stone-wielding bully telling another meek-looking cave-artist,...
Let me check if it is available
A lot has changed these past few years. No, I’m not talking about how I now weight 85 kilos and am no longer the trim 57 kilo large-eyed short fellow who has ‘a really good voice’. I’m also not talking about how the political profile of our country is now different nor am I talking...
I am who I am, and who I wanna be
This mantra is all over the social media today. The young as well as the young at heart swear by it… and believe me, it isn’t just the virtual space that is impregnated and incepted with these words, one sees them reflected in real life as well. Cool and smart is all over. Not just...
A secret agent called DIPS
We are all thrill seekers and love seeing secret agents everywhere… in fiction and in our real life as well. I have this strange feeling that we mortals love our brush with thrill whenever it is possible. I’ll tell you of the strangest encounter with a secret agent that I had just a few weeks...
Solve mysteries in style
Stand straight, breathe in deeply and then look around with a mind that is unclogged by the day’s problems. In place of the mustiness of routine you will see the mysteries of the universe and you’ll probably sing to yourself, ‘What a wonderful world…’ Now then, I’m not just talking about the very new mystery...
The Eye of the Other People
Nobody really likes it yet they do this all the time. We dress to get a smile from others. We write for applause from others. We speak in ways that we don’t make more enemies than really necessary. We buy things to make us all a part of the social matrix that exists. We even...
Bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style
Just take a short walk in and around psyches and you’ll discover that even simplicity gets a better acceptance if it adopts a unique style. However, there is always a certain price to be paid when people want to be perceived as ‘bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style’. This is one tag that cannot...
STYLESELECT
You’re obviously intrigued by the title. I’ll let you know the secret of the title but only later on in this article. What matters more is to know how to walk in the world of image mysteries or walk out of a world of image drudgery. ‘How to walk in or walk out?’ asked Specky,...
CEOs Know that Strategy isn’t a Solo Sport
Yes, CEOs aren’t hermits carrying a Hasselblad, wearing a Tissot, driving a Jaguar, and partying on a private yacht. They interact with people and technology and know how to get the best of both worlds by strategically using one in convergence with the other. Strategy isn’t a solo sport for sure. However, the days of...
Best isn’t necessarily pricey
Well, let me admit here that I’ve been to a lot of countries and obviously I have nearly always stayed in hotels. So from Paris to Seoul, from Amsterdam to Bangkok, from London to Sydney, or from Barcelona to Kuala Lumpur… I’ve always sought the best hotel deal. And believe me the right research always...
