Its irritating when this happens, and its happening often. Pharma packaging needs to ensure that the expiry date is visible till the last tablet is consumed. Just a matter of changing the placement of the print.

Lifestyle update: 1. Will no longer order meals from zomato & swiggy. I don't trust the quality of a meal cooked & delivered in 25 minutes. 2. Not getting groceries from apps like bigbasket any more. Items are close to expiry date & often spoilt. Anyone else following the above?

When a kid from an economically weak family asks my advice on what to study, I don't say follow ur passion. I say, "Study subjects that will get u a job". One generation must sacrifice its passions for successive generations to pursue theirs. There is no other way out of poverty.

TIL Bombil fish is called Bombay Duck because it was transported from Bombay to Calcutta in Daak (Mail) trains. The letters would smell of fish & Bengalis would say, "the letters have come with Bombay Daak". The British then mispronounced the fish as Bombay Duck. Hence the name.

TIL The small trunk boxes that are a part of every army family are called "Footlockers" cuz they are typically placed at the foot of a soldier's bunk or bed. Did you ever use them? As a kid I would keep my school books in one of them, sit on the floor, & use it as a study desk.

TIL Sound of "Om" is the vibration that connects us to the cosmos. When we say "Om" out loud we tune into the realm of the divine. Anything we pray for or manifest after that gets channeled to the intended recipient. Hence, begin any prayer or manifestation with the sound of "Om"

A quote that describes me: “I cannot remember the books I have read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson I read a lot, but I fail to recall the title of the book I finished yesterday. Anyone else struggling with this handicap?

Self-reflection after 15 yrs working- At work my biggest motivation is money. I don't give a hoot about appreciation, work culture, flat hierarchy, offsite holidays, team building, promotion, title, pool table, good for society etc. Paisa do, kaam lo! What motivates you at work?

Morning rant. I've seen enough nasty people prosper & enough good people suffer to not believe in Karma anymore. "Bhagwaan sab dekh raha hai" is a fallacy. "Agla janam" is a hoax". It's a dog-eat-dog world. Do good without expecting any rewards, be bad without fearing punishment.

I miss the times when I could change the ordinary tubelight on my own. Nowadays, to change the LED tubelight I have to call the electrician. Is there a way around this?

Two types of people exist - People who first soap all the dishes and then rinse them one by one, and people like me who soap and rinse one dish at a time. I can never get myself to do it any other way. What type are you? Is there a right sequence to washing dishes?
