Disagreements are part of life. Whether at work, with friends, or with random people, we will always have disagreements or a difference of opinion. However it is difficult to keep disagreements professional, rational and meaningful, else it can lead to toxic relationships, lots of conflicts, and a bad reputation.

One of my favourite podcasts is Amit Varma's The Seen and The Unseen. Though the episodes are way too long (usually 3 hrs long, but sometimes extending to 5-6 even 8 hours!), they are always valuable and enjoyable in parts.

मागच्या रविवारी अचानक हमास या दहशतवादी संघटनेने इस्राईल वर हल्ला केला आणि अनेक लोकांना मारले आणि १०० पेक्षा जास्त लोकांना पळवून नेले. त्याविरोधात लगेचच इस्राईलने भयंकर आक्रमक कारवाई सुरु केली आणि युद्धाची घोषणा केली. ह्या सगळ्यामुळे हा वाद नक्की काय आहे यावर पुन्हा लेख, चर्चा, WhatsApp संदेश सुरु झाले. पण हा विषय अगदी खोलात समजून घ्यायचा...

While growing up I used to watch Bournvita Quiz Contest conducted by (now Trinamool Congress MP) Derek O'brien. The smart and sharp kids from the Convent/English medium schools would appear very impressive and knowledgable! Quiz is a technique... Continue Reading →

Manu Joseph is a quirky columnist who sometimes writes different, thought provoking articles. I have written in this blog before my "love-hate" relationship with him. I like some of his columns. But when I countered him on Twitter once, he blocked me! Anyways, I still continue to read his columns in Mint newspaper. The reason... Continue Reading →
