I am convinced that the whole industry built around buying gifts has been erected by the female species to keep their husbands and boyfriends in check. They have craftily managed to put all men into this corner where we feel guilty before the occasion because we can’t think of what gift to buy, during...
One of the great thing about an MBA is that you get to meet a lot of very interesting characters during the course. Most B-Schools claim that they love “diversity”, which can be translated as “We love Characters!”. Incidentally, this is also the slogan of the (American) TV channel “USA”, which explains why going...
I joined ISB last year, graduated and joined my previous employer again, this time as some sort of Manager. The Wife™©® has joined ISB this year, which means I’m living in ISB as a spouse now. There. That should more or less explain why I’ve not posted in such a long time. However, it...

I feel so uncomfortable in a store that I often compare myself to prisoners of war and start thinking of what strategies they must have used to get over their tortourous environment. But shopping is an inevitable exercise, even for me, so I have adapted some strategies to overcome the...
