		<title>A Moving Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is a source of much bemusement to my friends that although I can sit in one position for hours, reading - and the only parts of my body that move in that circumstance are my eyelids, to blink - I cannot sit in a movie theatre for two hours without fidgeting non-stop and wishing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tech Five</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was on leave, I treated my phone in the most cavalier manner. Mostly, it was in my bag and my bag was in my cupboard. I checked messages and missed calls only when I felt like it - and mostly I did not feel like it at all.
I also ignored the computer almost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Past the Sell-By Date</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or do other people, when they go back on visits to the place that was home for most of their lives, find it difficult to see that place in any other shade than the sepia of nostalgia?
I’ve lived in Bombay since 1993, so Calcutta is still the place where I’ve lived [...]]]></description>

		<title>NOTICE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still a week to go before I actually go on leave, but I am in holiday mood.
Very difficult to concentrate on work, but I shall manage, I think. On the other hand, this period of enforced work focus will be followed by two weeks of NO work, hooray, so I guess I can spend the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tipped in the Balance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So elections once again. State elections this time, and I don’t have much time to figure out where that vote of mine is going to go.
I’m always traumatised at election time. My days of innocence are long gone. I take nothing at face value any more. I’ve written about this before here, but that was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Once More, With Feeling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last couple of weeks, I&#8217;ve had nothing new to read. That&#8217;s because I took a look at my bookshelves, realised I had these books because I wanted to keep them - i.e., presumably I had thought that they&#8217;d be good to re-read - and figured, what the bleep. Let&#8217;s avoid the bookshops for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A-CHHOOOO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time in the 1300s, Robert the Bruce claimed the throne of Scotland and fought the English for it. He lost a battle, became an outlaw and almost gave up his claim to the throne, when something happened that impelled him to continue the fight.
He saw a spider trying unsuccessfully to spin its web. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three things I sometimes wonder about…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Why do men think their personal plumbing devices will shrivel up and fall off if ever they wear pink / choose to watch romantic movies or read romantic books / cry / acknowledge that they love babies and cuddly animals / acknowledge that they enjoy shopping / watch soap operas / acknowledge that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Ah, the sweet scent of diesel&#8230;&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That was what I thought as I trundled down the highway in an auto, headed home late-ish on Sunday night after three days of doing absolutely nothing but reading and having a massage or two in beautiful, lush green Kerala. (It is SERIOUSLY a site for sore eyes, why on earth have I never been [...]]]></description>

Finally, at the overripe age of nearly 40, I&#8217;ve discovered my life&#8217;s ambition.
I don&#8217;t want to be editor of anything. It&#8217;s a terrible job.
I don&#8217;t want to be a world-famous commentator on Issues of Importance. [...]]]></description>
