The Circus that The Apprentice is

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email alerts. Thanks for visiting!

Thursday’s The Apprentice threw up an interesting dilemma that is often shoved under the carpet in the business world. Before that, a little word on The Apprentice might be useful. It is a greatly hyped reality [...]

Now to sea level

Life of Pi seemed to be the more interesting read, although I am not sure what the Man Booker Prize (as it proudly announces on the cover) is. It seems like the Booker Prize for men only. Has the proliferation of women in literature become such a vital issue that the chauvinistic males had to [...]

Up in the Mountains and Down at the Ocean

Strangely enough I have been whiling away my exam nerves by reading up on immaterial readings. The postponement of the exams does not help either but over time, I have learnt not to fight inevitability. The reading list had been on the backburner for long time and the exam always was a psychological barrier to [...]

Hell hath no fury

Have you ever experienced a blinding rage within you that just strains hard to burst out for no apparent reason?

But they fail to understand that when I want their opinion I usually give it to them.People think of me as the intensely opinionated [...]

Participation helps

The Iowa Caucus dead heat finally had a clear leader in Comeback Kerry as the race to the White House for the Democrats finally kicked off. Changing dramatically over the past week, the erstwhile leaders Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt were threatened by Kerry and Edwards who jumped more than 20 percentage points in a [...]

Why? Because I had to…

Dashed hopes and failed promises looming under the shadow of an excuse of making the worst decision of your life under the pretext of vulnerability. The idea of standing up to believe in the truth and refusal to continue the compromise lends credence to the belief that the future holds a promising tomorrow. Trying to [...]

India with an American Twist

It truly is the case of India Shining when the local newspaper puts the story of a classic rebound on its front pages. It is not everyday that the AJC would prefer to highlight an issue halfway across the globe especially when the top news story that it can possibly boast of, is mostly that [...]

Cold Sux

I make a lousy patient and nothing ever is going to change that. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the common cold is the most common of my afflictions and not any other verbose illness. Moaning in fake agony and tossing around in the bed, giving the impression that I am on [...]
