What I have observed over a period of time is that a lot of bosses think that the number of hours you spend in office is proportional to your performance. I have heard, that a manager virtually told a colleague of mine from my last organization that , “We (managers) feel good when we see […]

The listening writing Pen

I think everybody must have thought after reading notes taken down about 6 months back that how great it would have been if the speaker would be here again to explain everything to me. It often happens that we tend to forget a lot of critical and noteworthy things after a class or a session […]
David Ford-State of the Union

One of my favorite songs.A really passionate song from this virtuoso. Here are the lyrics- Sweet dreams, all met with derision This train, it was armed for collision It’s a shame, it’s a shame, it’s a shame Clap your hands in the sparkle and glitter Shake your heads at the twisted and bitter Oh, they […]
Calvin and Hobbes some of my favourite excerpts
Posted: 9th December 2010 by aseem.ace in ThoughtsTags: absurdity, babies, bill, blue light, calvin and hobbes, come, contact, dad, evolution, excerpts, funny, humor, humour, ignorance, intelligent, kids, Kmart, learning, mom, peace, scary, SEARS, war
Hobbes: Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous? Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor?

Dialogue from the movie Memento. Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They’re just an interpretation, they’re not a record, and they’re irrelevant if you have the facts. I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have […]
Irony called Life

Another something I wrote around 4 years back. The Irony I took this pic myself and the very first thing which struck my mind while clicking this one was the irony it depicted. There is a tree ,which is oh not so old, and in the background someone who is old. This is an image […]
Something I wrote a long time back…

“I always wanted to…” “I always wanted to…” sounds familiar isn’t it. This is the thought that echoes in my mind atleast once everyday. The thought is complemented by a different end each day, I always wanted to have more money, I always wanted to be a famous person, I always wanted to be in […]
