Jet Lag is a common phenomenon. Lots of people apparently have trouble sleeping when they suddenly make large time-zone shifts. My sister even claims to feel jet lag when traveling from Mumbai to Bangalore (because of the 3-degree change in longitude, apparently). Jet lag itself doesn’t seem to affect me much, but I suffer...
Starting this week, I’m going to do all of humanity a great service and start an advice column. To kick off this week, there are some questions people have asked me often. Some names have been changed to protect the guilty. My Boss keeps asking me to do work, and that leaves me with...
