		<title>Poem: Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A short verse. Random.
In my dreams you traverse like a caress that I can see, alas cannot feel
And when I&#8217;m awake you taunt me with the distance that separates us
My dreams are then to me more dearer.

		<title>Clueless Landmark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like all book-lovers, I pretty much know most of both the best and the pathetic bookstores in Bangalore. And what I experienced at Landmark confirmed by suspicions about corporatized retail business in India. Landmark has a decent collection of titles at different price ranges but like most Indian corporates, it&#8217;s clueless about managing customers. Instead [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Buzz or How the Giants Lost the Social Media Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Google announced the launch of Google Buzz last week, the general reaction was &#8220;Oh no! Not another one!&#8221; Within days, millions of Gmail users were outraged with the way Buzz had stampeded upon people&#8217;s privacy. This angry piece is very direct and very instructive.

Google (GOOG) is finally making some changes to its new Buzz [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poem: Everlasting Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As this everlasting night lapses into silence
Our hearts lit with moonlight, eyes sparkling that light,
We waggle together with this voiceless accent.
Our lips part to talk but stop and tremble;
Like baiting, half-blossomed flower-petals,
Speaking the tongue of the tender night-breeze&#8211;
Only we know what we entreat each other
In this everlasting silent night.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back after more than a month. Much water has flowed&#8230;okay chuck that! Grrr&#8230;what did I want to say? Oh well&#8230;I don&#8217;t know. I most definitely wanted to say something but it escapes me now&#8230;  
Oh yeah! Here goes.

		<title>The Rude Guide to Becoming a Good Technical Writer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brash intro of sorts
Technical Writing is largely a thankless job. Nobody really reads the document that you took six months to write but when they read, the results can sometimes be as devastating as the loss of your job because of all things, they had to look at that sentence on page 243, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebirth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written after a longish hiatus from blogging. Comments &#38; criticism welcome as always.
Rebirth
Inside, the swirling wind swishes continuously
swooshing over my shut stony tomb
not powerful to slide its slab though
stiff enough to arouse the stirrings
of disturbance inside the confined hole.
Dark and bottomless, but I can’t see&#8211;
I&#8217;m stirring and trying to turn,
I wind my neck tight and [...]]]></description>
