Just got an email from the CFO of an old company I worked for … they are getting another huge round of funding … and need me (as a shareholder!) to approve the process.
Hehehe … I can’t reveal the exact figures (due to confidentiality), but I do own a rather tiny percentage of that company [...]

This week, finally took a few hours off work to go to POE coach training. As usual, it was Pete spinning webs, opening loops and making himself look like an idiot to all the new coaches.
As usual, those of us who understand how he works … were sitting back and chuckling at the perplexed faces [...]

Sunday morning, rain is falling ….
Well, not really … but its a nice song anyway :).
It’s sunday morning, 7AM. What (you may ask) am I doing up at this ungodly hour?
I have my first toastmasters speech in 3 hours! And I’ve only just started preparing for it. Am feeling nervous (can’t help it, there’s always [...]

“This is gonna be a quick blog … I’m on a coffee break between a meeting”
Have you ever felt out of place?
Ever looked around you and seen many people … but just not related to them?
Ever felt like you were meant for something greater than the ordinary people around you?
Yet, at other times … when [...]

Today, we finally put up a sign on our office with the company name. Oooh, it feels like a real office now!
By the end of the week, I should have some paintings put up … and make it all seem like a typical consultant’s office.
On another note, I took a personality test … I love [...]

It was yet another crazy busy week! I’m suddenly regretting my new-found obsession with closing more deals and getting more clients …
Anyway, through the whole week, I did find time to play some sports and gym a bit …
On Friday night, I played ice-hockey with the boys. Mostly got my butt kicked (although the matches [...]

This girl always makes me go into a trance … sigh

After going to office … blogging for a few hours … pacing around the room … bouncing my stress ball against the wall … and nervously looking over the tasks I was supposed to finish on friday … I got a call from my homie
“Dude, come back home … it’s tennis time!”
Can’t say no to [...]

OK, this is the 2nd post about what’s been in my head this week. The first one was about my love life … this one is about my business life …
This week in my business
Again, this week had its ups and downs in this area.
First, I had several great meetings this week. Took a few [...]

Why I was feeling blue …
Last night, two close friends of mine took me aside to check if I was feeling normal. Apparently, they thought I had a lot on my mind and my mind was somewhere far away from the party I was at.
They were right. So, to get some things off my chest [...]

That’s right, I joined the Raintree Toastmasters!
(Before I get into the actual post … allow me to gloat … I’m starting this post at 11:20PM … from Office! I feel so hard-working)
So, a month ago I joined the Toastmasters club at AKLTG - Raintree Toastmasters
For those of you who don’t know what Toastmasters is [...]

Ever heard of anyone using porn to sell clothes? Well, someone figured out a way to do that … check out www.sexpacking.com
The site has three explicit hardcore videos (gay sex, straight sex & lesbian sex). The sex vidz are very professionally edited (if you pay careful attention, even the song in the background contains the [...]

I can’t explain it.
I’ve been feeling out of sorts lately. For the last 4-5 days, I’ve been kinda blue, not all that cheerful … and I’m definitely losing my charm!
Last night, I was at a football gathering and instead of walking around making friends with everyone, I preferred to sit in my chair and watch [...]

Wow. I don’t remember working this much in a long time :P. This week looks bloody hectic.
Had a meeting with a client saturday morning. Can’t remember what I did for the rest of the day (there may have been some tennis involved there). Was mostly working the weekend.
Monday morning was embarrassing. My two dear interns [...]

My sis Richa was here last week … and I had a ball taking a forced vacation to hang out with her. But alas, she had to finally go home. So, friday morning, I dropped her off to the airport as she took her flight home.
But.
Her visit was not without some surprises
The day before her [...]

My dear friend Tracy is getting married today! So, I wrote for her a little poem that you might want to hear …
This day is special,
As we all know
For many months in anticipation,
I’ve seen you glow
And your love’s journey,
Has finally come true
As I see a big “HAPPILY EVER AFTER”,
On that halo over you …
Yeah yeah, [...]

A few minutes ago, I went for lunch with my intern. He’s a smart young man … just finished 1st semester of Uni. He’s extremely enthusiastic, driven and sweet … always calling me “boss” (I’d pay his wages just for the ego boost!), and offering to buy me lunch & dinner.
But he’s also very restless. [...]

I just saw “Grease - The Musical” today … with my lovely lady friend, Ms X.
But this posting is not about Ms X (maybe I’ll tell you more about her … much to her irritation … if enough people comment).
This posting is about Grease!
Man, it’s been a while since I heard that music. When I [...]

A few nights ago, I was flipping through the cable channels around 11PM when the program description immediately caught my eye.
It was the Richard Gere-Julia Roberts classic “Pretty Woman”.
For those who haven’t seen it … here’s the 30 second recap. Richard Gere is a rich multi-millionaire. He’s lonely and in a new city. Julia Roberts [...]

Oh yeah … and on friday, I did something interesting and many of you will find it quite funny.
I was reading “Psycho-Cybernetics” … the self-image psychology that seems like the forefather of NLP … and something struck about self-motivation.
I see myself as a hunk, powerful, confident guy. But physically I’m fairly skinny. Kinda incongruent, isn’t [...]
