Human stupidity in all it’s forms must be the most visible aspect around us in our daily life, and Common Sense the most absent. And incredibly, both of these come together when it comes to the usage public spaces. And Elevators (Lifts) rank high among said spaces. While being one of those inventions which made…
Sidin Vadukut is back with the Dork, and the Dork is exactly as we remember him! “God save the Dork” is the sequel to the highly successful “Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin ‘Einstein’ Varghese.” There are few people who can write comedy with the flair that Vadukut does, and he excels at it again…
The Ford Ecosport has been without doubt the most awaited car launch in India in the recent times. The radical design and looks of the car, the curiosity generated by revolutionary Ecoboost engine, the promise of a middle-class “urban Mini-SUV” and a tantalizing price tag of Rs.5 Lakh (rumored, but not true) resulted in Bollywood-level…
Quick question: What do you mean by e-Governance? Forget Wikipedia, and government-provided definitions, what would your own definition be? Something like “Get government stuff easily and straightforwardly done through the Internet without having to go to government offices, face stony faced officials and labyrinthine processes“? Well, that is my idea too, but only it does…
33 years is not a long time. It is in fact infinitesimally smaller than infinitesimally small in the grand scheme of things. But 33 years is time enough for a lowly human being to learn a lesson or two or thirty three about life. You learn all your lessons in life from the mistakes you…

It was June 07 2015, Sunday. It was bright and sunny at 30 degrees and the sky was a deep blue with sparse white clouds, the kind of summer day which would be criminal to spend indoors. Long stuck in the frustrating 10 km box that included home, office and the ring road in between, where there…
In the past few years, I have learned a few things about career progression in corporate life. Every graduate dreams about becoming CEO but it is almost impossible for ordinary hacks who are not exceptional in some way or other (and I am not just talking about talent) to move up the so-called ladder. To…
There is nothing like smartphone shopping to make you aware of how things are changing in the country. I was doing some heavy-duty research to find a replacement my 3-year old Sony Xperia E3 Dual which with its massive 4 GB internal memory (yes, not RAM) was giving me some problems, to put it mildly….
Kerala KSRTC operates electric buses on regular timetables on urban and inter-city routes. Ten buses run daily services between Trivandrum and Ernakulam.
AI generated content is everywhere and preferred because it is better than your “human generated” content. This also means that your “original” stuff has become obsolete and useless, as have you.
Kerala’s great KSRTC saga continues unabated.
