A childhood memory - episode 3

Written by Manas May 11

Sharing a childhood memory after a long time — to show how sensitive a child’s mind is.

So this one time, me and [...]

Ownership

Written by Manas May 09

Don’t you feel proud when you do something, make something? I know you do, so do I. Am sure everyone does.
A weird thought passed my mind today. We moved into a new office building recently - one of the most amazing buildings I’ve even seen or imagined. However that is not the point. This building [...]

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Written by Manas May 05

All the ten years this soap ran for, the friends always remained together. From the first episode, till the last one. Lucky them.
I’m missing my friends very badly today. To be precise, I’m missing Satyam a lot today. We became friends on the first day of college, and remained best friends all four years. No [...]

A few hitherto unknown facts revealed in this post.
I wrote CAT this time. I got a 98.XX percentile and have an interview call from IIM Bangalore.

Am writing this post using Windows Live Writer. It is a desktop application that can post for you to your blog – It corrects spelling, formats text just like an office application. The best part is that you can upload photos by drag drop, and it shows your post in your template even as you [...]

Random Stuff

Written by Manas Mar 19

People have been asking me why have I suddenly disappeared from the blogging circle entirely. I actually have - my last post was something like 2 weeks back!

VISA Balaji

Written by Manas Mar 02
