What is it about today?

I don’t know what it is about “02 May” that I keep coming back to pen down my thoughts on this day. Although. this time it took me 4 years to come back. I think it’s just how important this day has been for me, in terms of everything that I’ve been able to do

15 years it is

Amidst these strange and unprecedented times, it is always a touch exciting when you run by some very important dates, or milestones of your life. One such milestone was 02 May 2005.

Class of 99 reunion

It started 4 years back between 2 friends (one in India and other in Canada) discussing about getting together for a class reunion. What transpired between those 4 years is impossible to account for.

How NOT to Sell

I just got a call from a local bank (name withheld purposely) trying to sell a credit card. If I have to rank, this has to be right up there amongst one of the worst sales call ever. I wasn’t nasty. I took the call and gave him time. Gave him multiple opportunities to back
