I thought he was having the time of his life. It was his birthday. His desk was decorated with balloons. He was being showered with kisses from a lot of females.

Neither did I!This was one of the many interesting facts which I have learnt after talking to several experts in the field of elephant conservation.To me you have to be a special kind of idiot to venture out in the dead of night wearing bright colored ...

Actually the heading “The problem of perception” would have been better suited for this post. Whilst thinking of how to start this post my thoughts took a trip down memory lane. It was to an advertising campaign done by the Rolling Stone magazine. Not to sell more magazines. But rather to educate potential clients that their perception of the magazine’s ...

What an amazing view I rarely drink beer these days. But that doesn’t stop me from making notes of ideal places to have a beer when I am travelling.Guess old habits die hard.We were at the tail end of a thousand kilometer road trip and making our way from Tangalle to Matara in order to enter the high way.

I say doing my level best to keep my face dead pan knowing very well that with those few words our discussion has reached a stale mate situation.We are having a conversation about a communication plan for an event. A task which she is not capable of handling ...
