I spent about 18 days away from home in Uttarkashi in connection with a program evaluation. The first little hotel, I stayed in, in Joshiyada, was fine- but suddenly after about 9 days, they asked me to vacate. Reason: the Gangotri pilgrimage was to begin (Kapat- doors opened) and the hotel had prior tourist booking. […]
We have been meeting off and on. Yesterday I returned from Uttarkashi and today, on Sunday, four of us met: Pawan, Vineet, Aman and self. Pawan has recently changed jobs. I and Pawan had a long discussion about work situation- where sometime criticism sits uncomfortably on the borderline of acceptable feedback and subjective ‘personal comments’. […]

Recently, I performed a mimicry item during the annual day function of my company. This was my first stage performance, and to my delight, I won the “Best Individual Performance” prize for this. A few years (even months) ago, I thought public speaking or performances for me were “IMPOSSIBLE”. Joining TISA has helped me achieve […]
Vipassana! We have been hearing and reading about it a lot on this space. There were testimonials about how Vipassana has helped people (PWS and others). Dr. Sachin has been vehemently stressing on its benefits too. All this led me to find out more about it. And I stumbled upon the “Goa Vipassana Samiti”. On […]

I am in Uttarakashi with my new cheapo camera. But it has some interesting features- it can take a panoramic picture in three frames and then join them seamlessly. The picture above is an example- normally it would be possible only with an extreme wide angle lens. I took it while walking on a suspension […]
