Necker Cubicle

As is evident to anyone who has read this blog, I was completely a different person 10 years back. Back then, I was uncomfortable and creepy around girls. Right now, I am just creepy and that somehow makes them uncomfortable (emoji of disbelief!). Jokes aside, it took me around 23 years to talk to girls without awkward silences and extreme sweating. At 23, for every female friend I had there was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. I had promised myself to change that and the last 8 years have given me enough time to make a lot of amazing female friends (which points to the most disturbing milestone of crossing 30 and is a topic for another day). I was so good at making female friends that I even forgot about the existence of the old me who was shy and uncomfortable in the presence of the sexier sex! You can imagine how bad it was for me when I brag about getting friend-zoned on my blog! A friend of a friend of a friend has introduced Lakshmi a few years back and we had the type of friendsh...

I am back! This time it is completely different from the hundred other times I have restarted blogging. I am not even sure if I will blog for another 6 months or not. I have lost complete hope in my capability to maintain a blog. :/ A funny story from my life, some idiotic theories (“scientific”) that I have. my life update and bragging about the marathons I did, are some of the ideas I have for the blog today. After careful consideration I came to the conclusion that the bragging is the easiest. A major change in my life, in that last 1 year, is that I am participating in quite a few endurance challenges. The ultimate aim of it is to do an Ironman race one day. Following are the events that I participated recently. NTU bike rally 2014(138km) NTU bike rally 2015 (168km) Singapore triathlon 2015 (1.5k swim – 36k biking – 10k run) Standard Chartered Marathon 2015 (42.2 km) Sundown Marathon 2016 (21.1 km)   This entry was ...

Back in 2007, before joining my first job I wrote this,   Last month, I saw this on PhD Comics.. I should say that I had that “Aha! I came with that joke first” moment.. It feels good, especially when it is PhD Comics on the other end. Long post short, I just completed my Ph.D oral examination. Mankind is a small step ahead (I hope!).   This entry was posted in Uncategorized . Bookmark the permalink .

So much to do and so little time will! This entry was posted in Uncategorized . Bookmark the permalink .

Couple of months ago, I registered for NTU bike rally 2014. I registered 12 weeks before the rally and trained for the first 7 weeks. The best distance I covered was 50 km and then my cycling partner went for a trip. I stopped training and was a bit worried if I could complete the rally, but I did. The rally had 138 km and 188 km options and I took 138 km for obvious reasons. I covered the distance in around 9.5 hours. The volunteers were really helpful directing us at all the turns with a pleasant smile. Every checkpoint had bananas, buns, lots of water and isotonic drinks. Cycling was fine for the first 90 kms, and then the pain started surfacing. I took a 45 minute break at the last checkpoint to recharge myself for the last 35 kms. It was a fun day. There were a lot of amateur cyclists, like me, trying hard to finish the 138 km mark, encouraging and cheering for each other.  P.S: Photo Courtesy:   Yu XinXing  and NTu Bike Rally 2014 organizers Thi...

My third cycle in Singapore. My previous cycle has served me well – for 2.5 years. Now, this is going to be my new companion. A good buy, I think, considering the upcoming rally.     This entry was posted in Uncategorized . Bookmark the permalink .
