  • Long Drive In The Night

    During my stay in Kolkata last week, the weather was pretty cool and it rained quite a bit. Last Saturday, 2 friends and I went on a long drive along the Kona expressway in the night. It started raining. We had to slow down a bit, the cool blasts of wind was something to cheer about…

  • What I am Reading Right Now

    Right now, I am reading Atlas Shrugged. In this novel, Ayn Rand further expands the ideas and philosophies she introduced in Fountainhead. Ayn Rand’s writings have inspired millions of souls.
