If you are looking for some inspiration and are out of resources, subscribing to Hugh Macleod’s Gaping Void cartoons is a good place to start again. His cartoons, more often than not, hit hard the spots they need to hit. His J.K.Rowling type of story definitely inspires, as do his daily thought-cartoons (above) and his [...]

Tantalizing India
Posted in blogging, Inspirational, life, travel on June 13, 2010 | 1 Comment »
So I haven’t written in almost 4 months. Disgraceful, I know. No good excuse really. Anyway, I was sent something recently that did make me want to take the effort to write; perhaps posting this information nugget will spur the desire to shake awake this blog again…I dunno. Anyhoo. 3 Indian boys have decided to [...]
Update and thought for the day
Posted in Inspirational, life, quotes, random, thoughts on February 24, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I’m not doing very well with my resolution to write more on here. Oh well. Just got back from a lovely holiday in Japan and Taiwan. Went to visit two of my close friends who showed me the best time. I’m really lucky to have some awesome friends. Hopefully some posts should come out of [...]
Richard and his song
Posted in Inspirational, life, personal, thoughts, tagged acoustic, friend, guitar, music, passion, singing on February 3, 2010 | 3 Comments »
This is a story that reiterates a fact that we often forget: persistence and passion certainly pays. I’ve known Richard for over 10 years now; we went to university together. He was a big-talker, and not a good singer (sorry Rich, but this line is key to the story). I remember listening to him sing [...]
Wisdom teeth out!

After at least 5 years of pain (and procrastination), today I finally got two wisdom teeth taken out. Knowing that I was going to do it this week, made my week go quite bad. The thought of it gave me nausea and I didn’t have much of an appetite.The internet lead me to read many [...]

I really can’t believe it’s 2010 already. The year 2000 is still so fresh in my mind (Y2K bla bla), that it’s hard to fathom it was TEN YEARS ago. Sheesh. I was 20 then. I am almost 30 (holy f***) now. Where did all those years go!? Time flies so fast it’s scary. I’ve [...]
Movie review: MJ’s This Is It
Posted in Events, Inspirational, life, tagged concert, film, last, Michael Jackson, MJ, movie, premier, this is it on October 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I went to the premiere of MJ’s This Is It with child like eagerness. This was really it. His last days on the planet were spent practising for his final world tour, one that he had no idea he wouldn’t be on. The elation and the glory behind all of it reeked through the screen [...]

After a manic few months, this week is the first time I’ve had the luxury of being a little lazy at work. Laziness at work = guilt, so hell, let’s at least blog Not much significant has happened to me lately. Oh I did move into my own apartment. The bliss. It’s so great to [...]
Overwhelmed by TEDxDubai

TED is the best thing that has happened to the planet. When TED went online about 2 years ago, it became the best thing that the internet has given the world. TED reminds us that we all have the power to change the world, and gives us the inspiration to do something with that thought. [...]
Post-vacation toplines
Posted in life, personal, travel on August 30, 2009 | 6 Comments »
9 flights, 6 buses, and numerous taxi’s later, I am back in Dubai trying to absorb that over the last 3 weeks I was in 4 different countries. Goa with 30 family members was a blast that left me emotionally fulfilled and fat. Poker, Balchao prawns, Bollywood dancing, beach, pool and Bloody Mary’s were most [...]
