How To Avoid Being A Toxic Person ?
[Via – Dragos Roua] I was driving to town the other day, when, at some point on the highway, I found myself near a huge truck. I don’t know if you know the type: ugly, noisy and… toxic! The exhaustion pipe was left oriented, and since the truck was rolling on my right, even if […]
China’s Big Finger to All the ‘Capitalists’
The essence of Capitalism is that you take risk and ‘invest’ via ownership or debt in a venture.

A Telugu euphemism for poetic eccentricity is ‘bhaavukatha.’ If it were up to a person with no romantic touch, he/she would call this eccentricity ‘paithyam.’ About three years ago I guest hosted a […]

The Unhealthiest Salads in America
If you’re looking to eat healthfully at your favorite restaurant, don’t automatically turn to the salad menu. Turns out, restaurant salads can often be as bad as—or worse than—any burger or steak on the menu. Sure, salads may contain a fresh produce base, but those leafy greens are too often weighed down with cheese, deep […]
QUANTum Screw
I am neither a mathematician, nor a programmer. However, my engineering education and experience has given me a fairly decent exposure to both. For whatever reason, the world of finance and economics always fascinated me. Back in 1995, when my job was a bit shaky, I contacted Mr. Rao Chalasani about switching my career. Rao […]

By-elections : Part II
In Part I, I have expressed doubts that the TDP might not have any more excuses to take a stand on Telangana and may not contest the by-elections. But the recent developments in the party insinuate that the TDP is readying the stage for itself for the by-elections. For a few days now, the TDP […]
