The Zen of Intuition as Understood by Steve Jobs
I started reading Walter Isaacson‘s biography of Steve Job two days ago and, like many have said before, it is a fascinating story. There are so many interesting quotes from Jobs himself about his past experiences that seem to be more revealing for a man who was famously guarded about his personal life and philosophies. […]
Fahrenheit 451 – by Ray Bradbury
Recently I finished reading Fahrenheit 451, penned by the late Ray Bradbury. It was his breakout work of literature that garnered him critical praise and, I, like anyone who has ever read this book, would agree that it is a thought-provoking read. The plot is set in a dystopian future where Wall-to-Wall TV has enslaved […]
The Opposite of Loneliness
Tomorrow, I’ll be getting on a plane and begin a week of something that is the completely opposite of what I do everyday. Here in Phoenix, time travels in terms of activities; not the kind of things that come to your mind when you hear the word activities. I speak to people outside and they […]

Benjamin Franklin is easily my favorite among the white wigged men who drafted the US constitution simply because of his intellectual capacity which often seems boundless. The pot-bellied inventor, who was […]
Design Principles From A Visionary
StumbleUpon is a wonderful tool to discover great articles, especially ones that are interesting and informative. Just today, I stumbled (wink) onto this slightly older story about the design principles that were at the core of Apple’s products. Since Steve Jobs‘ death, there has been a mountain of text written about his works and style, […]
The Flying Metal Container
Continuing with this week’s ‘Articles on the Internet’ theme, I bring you something special from space. Yes, space. That place about which we always dream of. The place that is as magical as its ever expansive. The outer space is filled with all kinds of celestial objects, ranging from giant planets to fiery stars and […]
Urban Legendary
Have you read this article, which s simply called in online circles as “Wear sunscreen” ? Have you even heard of it? It is, apparently one of those Internet-Only famous articles which was written a long time ago. According to Wikipedia, the article is an urban legend, and I find it strange that no one […]
