I need a soulmate. I think the closest one right now is my buddy Nasser, who pretty much has the same train of thought as mine. It’s uncanny at times. But seriously… I was talking to Vibha yesterday and I said “Do you think you would be interested in finding out about the etymological differences…

Internet Dating
Friendster has decided that it should take charge of my love life. I got two emails alerting me to the fact that I had received messages from two girls. This itself was rather surprising as I never get messages on Friendster from women. I always seem to get them from guys who want to go…
In Oman
I’m in Oman right now. I feel a strange mix of emotions. I felt like this the last time I was here. “Bittersweet” would be the right word. It feels really nice to be back here – being with my parents and all. Although I wish my sister was here as well. It would be…

What I Can’t Have
There are many things in life that come to me easily. There is, however, one thing that eludes me. I cannot have it no matter how hard I try. Very much like Tantalus’ grapes. But I am not disheartened. I believe even if I may not eventually have what I want, it is the struggle…
