I’ll be joining hordes of people in boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games 2008. I will neither be watching it on TV nor reading reports in newspapers. If you feel the same way, join the Free Tibet! Boycott Beijing 2008 Olympics on FaceBook.
This cartoon (thanks Sonam didi for forwarding the email to me) shows exactly why [...]
Well the Indian cricket team have done it! They have beaten the loud mouth Aussies in their own backyard. I’m so happy. Ricky Ponting, the Australian captain, in his cocky way stated that there wouldn’t be a need for a third final indicating that they would squash India. But irony of ironies, the 3rd final [...]
Ajahn Brahm Dhamma Talk on Solving Problems at Singapore Buddhist Fellowship Centre
24 Feb
Posted by Dipankar Subba as Personal
Coming from a mixed religious parental background, I do not belong to any religion but I’ve always been fascinated by Buddhist philosophy and teachings. This fascination grew more when I read Ajahn Brahm’s book Opening The Door Of Your Heart / Who Ordered This Truckload Of Dung?: Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life’s Difficulties and attended [...]
A very Happy New Year to all.
2007 was an eventful year where a whole lot of things happened:
I resigned as the Director of Technology from Bizibody Technology Pte Ltd, the company that I was with for the past 7 years where I learned a lot and grew both professionally and personally. Thanks to Serena, Corinna, [...]
This year’s birthday was memorable for many reasons. It was a good opportunity to reflect and count my blessings.
Prequel to the birthday
A day before the birthday, I met Sukanya and Thulaja for lunch. Little did I know that they had secretly conspired to throw me a mini-birthday party complete with a cake and candles (not [...]
I’m Singapore’s Numero Uno Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Fan Of The Apprentice

Yeah, another opportunity to brag.
The Apprentice. I love the show even though I do not watch much TV. If you can tolerate Donald Trump’s overbearing attitude then there are many opportunities to pick up business lessons from the show. I consider myself a big fan having followed all the seasons.
And now, it is OFFICIAL. [...]
“What’s Kuzzuk?” A lot of people have asked this question. Admittedly, only 3 people have asked but in my opinion 3s a crowd. I digress…
A Brief History
For those of you who do not know me. I’m from India but I don’t have the typical Indian look (whatever that is). Yes, I do get stopped [...]
It has been a rainy and gloomy Boxing Day, here are some Christmas 2006 Photos to cheer us up all. Click on the thumbnail to view the full sized photo with a cool effect. Click anywhere on the right side of the full sized photo to see the next photo or click anywhere on the [...]
A must-watch, no kidding, it is best rendition of “12 Days of Christmas” (for the karaoke freaks, lyrics can be found below the video). I saw this video first at a friend’s blog. It is by BoyMongoose and drop by to meet the band members behind this lovely rendition.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas to everyone. [...]
OK. I admit. I sometimes do vanity searches on Google. Oh, come on, admit it, you do it too. This time around, I was mildly amused by one particular link to my blog.
I found out that my post on the lack of Singaporeans in BusinessWeek’s Asia’s young entrepreneurs list was politicized on this blog. [...]
Not the insect but the sport!
I am pretty happy today as India’s doing well in their first cricket Test match against South Africa after being badly trashed in the one-day games. I hope my joy is not short-lived as that’s a feeling I have experienced quite a lot in the past caused by my [...]
I have not been the one to set goals as usually I take things one day at a time. There are many reasons why I did not set goals seriously, mainly, because it’d make me look like a failure if it didn’t achieve them. However, now I do think goal-setting is powerful and without trying [...]
***Bragging Begin***
Today, I want to feel good about myself and so I figured that a little bragging would help. Bear with me, I’m going to revisit the past.
At the end of last year, I read a wonderful book, A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink. I really identified with his views on how the [...]
I did a hilarious test on Kineda.Com and I must say my ego was badly bruised. I am a D-List Blogger, i.e. the scum of blogosphere. Grrrr! And to add insult to injury, they present me with a badge that’s in PINK!
Link to me please. Check back next year and we’ll see whether I [...]
A friend of mine in Bangladesh is associated with an Art Institute and is sending me the watercolor painting (on the left) by one of his students. I don’t even have to pay for shipping as he is generous enough to ship it all the way from Bangladesh to Singapore.

The haze caused due to slash-and-burn farming in Indonesia is making the air really unhealthy here in Singapore. The National Environment Agency (NEA) reading of the Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) is 128 today and that is unhealthy level (see http://app.nea.gov.sg/psi/). When will this problem, if ever, will be resolved? I guess the farmers need education [...]
