Lifeline @ Bistro

Our canteen, affectionately named Bistro, recently went in for an engine upgrade. Here’s the new engine serving the thirsty souls who throng Bistro after receiving humongous amounts of businessgyan. I’ve become addicted to the cold-coffee it outputs untiringly.

The Notary

The BBC’s top serial “Top Gear” has a daredevil stuntman who goes by the name “The Stick.” The GEO blog is not far behind - it knows “The Notary,” up, close, and personal. And what’s “The Notary’s” latest stunt: “drinking a Barista masala chai takeaway with a long straw.”
