So my wife has been on a homemade donut kick lately. That’s right, every weekend I get to sample another dozen donuts. Those of you who read often know that my constant struggle to stay fit must work really well when there is a new batch of donuts sitting around the house every Saturday morning.…

As of about 2003, I don’t think I could live my life without my devices. Back then it was the blackberry and laptop. Now it’s my Android phone, iPad and laptop. If I lose my phone, I’m basically dead in the water – no contact with the outside world… I’m totally cut off. When I’m…

I have a friend who happens to have a particular way of ordering steaks. This is interesting for a number of reasons. First, I’m not sure how many Indian guys order steaks. Perhaps Gautam can shed some light on this for me. (I think my friend lives in Goa if that makes a difference). Second…

HRO is not Dead
