Thanks to a close friend who’s just come back from a trip to Egypt.

Can you experience Heaven?
I have. Many a time. And you neither have to learn the ins and outs of meditation nor do you need to be an all-sacrificing sanyaasi(n) to experience it. To experience the Heaven I am talking about, all you need are: The Shiradi Ghats The time to be 01:00 IST Your usual gang of trekkers […]
Lord Ganesha – #1

Cannibalization with a smile :-)
One of the concepts I learnt in the Economics classes was that of “Cannibalization.” I think my blog is soon going to be a victim of one (although not in that Economics sense). Why, you ask? I am very afraid that this blog – Smiling Life ! ! ! – will snatch all my audience […]

Chup Chup Ke – A very brief review
Yesterday, I had my first “Gold Class Multiplex Experience” at Cinemax in Infinity Mall. And it cost me just 150 bucks! It was also my first easy recliner experience. I have decided to invest in one as soon as I come back to Bangalore. Now lets digress to the main topic — the movie. Chup […]
Sir M. Visvesvaraiah – In 2006!
It’s true and it’s me! Here’s how this miraculous reincarnation happened: Yesterday, after class, I was sitting in the library trying my best to figure out Philip Kotler’s A Framework For Marketing Management. If someone’s actually understood what’s in this book, I humbly request you to be my teacher. Fifteen minutes into my effort, I […]

Bramha Murari … MP3
The blogger’s block has struck again! I don’t know what to write about. Maybe it’s because of the Bread-Butter-Jam and Banana milkshake I have had. While I recover, here’s a devotional MP3 for you to listen to. BRAMHA MURARI.mp3 Hosted by eSnips
What’s for breakfast?
Bread-Butter-Jam Banana milkshake Eeeeeks!
Bandra – Land’s End
Wednesday last, we went on an evening outing to Bandra. We decided to experiment with the air-conditioned bus service. There are two such bus routes: A1 and A2. We boarded the A2 route. We alighted near Bandra Station and caught an auto-rickshaw to Land’s End — one border of Bandra. It’s called Land’s End simply […]
Functional Module
This term, which is called the Functional Module, comprises of five subjects: Corporate Finance Marketing Management People and Performance IT for Management Operations Management You might have already guessed that my pick of the lot is Corporate Finance, once again because of my love for numbers, and Corporate Finance involves a lot of them. People […]
Reality Bites!
I don’t know how to swim. I can only enter into a water body with a life jacket around me. :-(

Sunset in Lonavala
Nature showing off her beauty. It’s sights like these that linger in your mind forever. PS: Ignore the date in the picture. It’s off by one year!
Fanaa – A brief review
I am too lazy to write movie reviews. My only comment on Fanaa is this: “Kajol’s stunningly beautiful.” No wonder she’s my favorite actress. My classmate Vinayak (the one who also shared the Udupi Sri Krishna photo) was more than willing to write one for me. This review of Fanaa is brought to you by […]
Me, myself, and a compass
Shot on location during our treasure hunt. If you have a keen eye, then you will find that I am a brand ambassador for two major sports apparel brands — Nike and Adidas.
What students in an MBA program actually do…
Build toy aeroplanes and have loads of fun doing it. Our team won the prize for the “best designed aeroplane!” Seen in the picture (from left to right) are Palvinder, myself, Vidyadhar, Vishwanath, Sachin, and Maruteesh in the front row, and Sonika, Vivek, and Sanjay in the back row. Of course, with the three aeroplanes […]
