Writer’s block!

Amit Srivastava — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 15:47:50 +0000

I had heard about the writer’s block. Didn’t exactly know what it was. But once I started blogging I could make out. I thought that the block is due to shortage of ideas. One does not know what to write. May be doesn’t have enough in mind to express. But it is exactly the opposite [...]

Why so stressed?

Amit Srivastava — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:56:38 +0000

I am sitting at the Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivagi airport. Although still fresh in the morning, the air around the place I am sitting is filled with stress. Yes, stress. Around me are half a dozen gentlemen, all wearing expensive suits and watches. All of them have a tablet (laptops are so old fashioned). Their [...]

Why is English so foreign in Hong Kong?

Amit Srivastava — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:43:21 +0000

I recently traveled to Hong Kong with my wife and intended to write something ASAP. Thanks to the piled-up work, I finally get an opportunity to post something. Hong Kong is just amazing! It is one of those places where you can experience everything. A great modern city, mountains, beaches, the up markets and [...]

Before you go on to read, just pause for a while and think what this post is all about just by reading the title. Chances are: If you are a techie, thoughts like SEO, page rank etc. will come to your mind. If you are a business guy and all that stuff, chances are that [...]

Faster than light? Yes Sir! Possible

The reason I am compelled to write this post is that I’ve just got a payment reminder for the domain. I must write something, else I’ll not feel good while releasing the payment. Thanks to Ankit, I haven’t yet paid anything for hosting. I didn’t know what to write about. So I will just [...]

Finally I get to see a mummy!

Amit Srivastava — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:16:03 +0000

I wouldn’t call it a childhood dream, but it has been quite a while since I have been looking to see a mummy. I am sure a lot of us want to. The Egyptian history is probably one of the most fascinating ones. Mummies and Pyramids would be on the hit list of anyone who [...]

I bet you can’t cancel your Kingfisher Red ticket!

Amit Srivastava — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:38:04 +0000

Date: 30 June 2011 Time: 10:00 AM. I have to fly back to Delhi from Mysore. I am taking the 1:15 PM Kingfisher Red flight (that’s the only one which flies out of Mysore I guess). I come to know of an urgent meeting and I decide to cancel my Mysore-Bangalore ticket. I quickly logon [...]

Lost in gadgets! The paradox of choice…..

Amit Srivastava — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 04:30:56 +0000

It is a much awaited Sunday morning. Some respite from a really strenuous week at work. I will do ‘nothing’. Absolutely nothing. That is the idea. I want my mind to relax. I want it to recuperate so that it can work effectively in the coming week(s). At least that is the idea. But hold on! [...]

What if we could read other’s mind?

Amit Srivastava — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 03:00:02 +0000

I am reading these days. I must say that I am big fan of Michio Kaku for his sheer ability to elucidate complex Science for the common people to understand. Although his books are not meant for a layman, but anyone with a little background and interest in Science would appreciate his writing style. [...]

On Productivity | Avoid “If I am there then I have to attend” tasks.

Amit Srivastava — Fri, 20 May 2011 15:30:13 +0000

I usually do not write much about my work. But I thought this one deserves a mention. After a very long time, I decided to work from home today. Hold on! Actually for the very first time, I worked from home. I thought it will be a good to share how it felt. A good [...]
