The former Atlanta mayor, Bill Campbell has been convicted of tax evasion. Of course, this may have been the least of his crimes as he was acquitted of other charges of racketeering and bribery. He was the epitome of a corrupt mayor who was in office from 1994 to 2002 including the period when Atlanta [...]

I will be driving down to College Station from Atlanta. Since it isn’t possible to make (for a sane person) that journey in one day, I plan to stop at New Orleans.
Google Maps expects us to travel between Atlanta and New Orleans within 9 hours 40 minutes. But cross-check the same route at Mapquest, the [...]

Technically, it marks the coming of spring when the dogwood blossoms in the “Central Park of Atlanta” Piedmont Park bloom. It is one of the reasons that make Atlanta so livable. Piedmont Parks wears a festive look through the three [...]

Books, coffee, and nice comfortable environs decorated with low hanging lights beckoned us inside.

It reminded me of the days in India, grappling with small businesses with a small mind attitude. The day started with a cargo rental van I had to book to move some [...]

It is time for the Falcons to up their game. They play the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs for a chance to play in the Super Bowl (the semi-finals of the NFL) today. Michael Vick, the most
exciting quarterback since…errr..I started following football can be easily compared to apna Tendulkar both for star power and raw [...]

On Friday, I was at the Atlanta airport to drop off a friend and was walking around the terminal when I made an absolutely distasteful and mean remark which I regretted almost instantly. I saw many soldiers of different ranks, all bundled up to go off to war to Iraq. I just looked at them [...]

This Saturday, I was invited to a friend’s housewarming party. Actually it was a townhouse warming party but what the heck it is a piece of real-estate you own in upscale suburbia. She came to Atlanta three years back and is nicely settled with an IT job; happily married to a guy who is in [...]
