Yinwei shared this speech that Steve Jobs gave at a Stanford commencement in 2005 on her blog. I thought it’s worth ‘forwarding’ it here as well. Whether or not you agree with the spirit of what Jobs says, regardless of whether you find the speech inspiring or not, I think you won’t find it a […]

Pleasure and Joy

A year and a half ago, I had a very bad outbreak of acne that came after months of terrible sleeping and eating habits and emotional turmoil.

For the past few days I find myself returning again and again to this particular photo in DDOI. There’s something silent and beautiful about this snow scene… something […]
Our brand of romance
Our Valentine’s Day Dinner Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but it was just another ordinary day for us. At the risk of sounding soppy, we celebrate our relationship more than once a year on a day when everything from flowers to chocolate to dining out cost an extra premium! A quiet Indian dinner at […]

F16 D+ and RSAF pilots [this shot is pretty nice in larger size] Dunno why these pilots like very act cool to me… it was a cloudy day but they all were wearing shades and ‘lounging’ while letting the wind blow their hair… ha ha… too bad none of them look like Tom Cruise in […]
