Nandan Nilekani is the entrepreneur who set up Infosys, the Indian IT outsourcing company, was at LSE (London School of Economics) yesterday to talk a little about his insights and to sell his new book Imagining India.
I actually bought the book when I was at Bangalore airport on the way back after visiting the inlaws. [...]
I spent Easter weekend in Paris and in a word, it was great! Ok, so the Pound is doing crap and everywhere we went, it was expensive but this isn’t because Paris is really expensive by default, it is because the Pound is doing so bad against the Euro. Paying 5 Euros for a Coke [...]
I was actually quite sad to hear about Jade Goody’s passing… I never really paid much attention to her since she appeared on Big Brother… she was just some uneducated piggish looking woman who was revered by everyone after her what seemed racist remarks at the Big Brother house many years ago.. however, the reason [...]
I loved the concept of the Google Streetview when it came out in the US and was eagerly awaiting it’s arrival in the UK… it finally got released last week and the pictures are amazing… they are so clear and they really capture the essence of life in London.

Anyway, the Science museum is doing a free admission on the 18th March for adults from 6.45pm to 10pm. Go to www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/lates for more [...]
I feel the equivalent of a trainspotter posting this but this site captivated me for a few hours last night…. I admit it’s only because I got braces not so long ago whilst visiting India.. I was curious as to how my teeth were moving.. interested to also read other peoples’ accounts. Also, as my [...]
The great thing about blogs is that they can be the first to release news stories and articles.. when you buy a newspaper, the news needs to have got to a reporter who needs to send it to the office. From the office, it needs to be edited and then once it’s got the [...]
I have always been a fan of Malcolm Gladwell’s work.. first, The Tipping Point, then Blink and now, Outliers - The Story of Success.
