Exiled with My Thoughts and Ideas on Brands
It’s been such a long hibernation and hiatus in my career, that I have even stopped thinking about it. Though I can’t afford to not think about it, with aged parents to care for, and with whom I now live in Goa. It seems like an eternity since I heard the bustle of an office;… Continue reading Exiled with My Thoughts and Ideas on Brands
Writings on The Wall #11: Summer Holidays
As I write this, I realise that I haven't had a holiday or travelled in years. Or perhaps, I have had an extended one lasting well over a decade at my parents' place in Goa, for no particular reason.

Something of Kipling, Sans the Colonialist
Many months ago, I spied a copy of Rudyard Kipling’s autobiography at my parents’ flat in Goa and I was puzzled because I couldn’t imagine my father ever buying a copy of Kipling’s book, unless forced to! It turns out that it belonged to my grandfather, another avid reader. I decided I must read it… Continue reading Something of Kipling, Sans the Colonialist
