The accident on EH46 kept me out of the office for two weeks. The mangled heap of metal, a testament to the violence, left everyone who saw it convinced I wouldn’t walk away. I lost control, spun a few times, flew over the barrier, and then rolled a hundred feet down before settling on the dry riverbed. German engineering, some might say, or maybe just dumb luck. When I came to my senses, an…

Jan, you misunderstood me!

I never told you Mazda is the only safe small/midsize SUV available in 2020.

True, I sent you a link.

It is not ” a *#*#ing Mazda company link” as you said.

You should have googled “IIHS safety ratings” before you jumped to a conclusion.

I know which car you drive. True, you can buy ”a few Mazdas” with the money you spent on it.

Remember what you told me that day?

“…saf…

“Exactly! That’s what I was trying to tell you Suju. Sam, don’t take your eyes off the laptop screen. You are going to miss that rogue signal”

“Scan tool is on auto capture mode, Chetan sab. Any abnormalities, recording will start automatically”

“Really? Hope my engine will be alright soon”

Dr. Chetan was so sure that there was an intermittent problem in the engine breathing.

“If only you got…

“Ever lied during a job interview?”

We were almost an hour into the interview.

He said he was the regional head of marketing.

It was a technical position. Why the head of marketing?

I was expecting someone from the technical side. It was, and still is, a brand I adore. They have some of the finest brains in automotive technology and I was hoping to meet some of them.

I never miss an opportunity…

Lessons learned/ reinforced

Muscles, especially those at the lower back, have poor memory. They forget very easily how they used to flex. It was just three month’s gap.

Badminton singles and Badminton doubles – the difference is not just the number of players in the court.

Pre-match warm ups save you from post-match hospital sessions.

By the way, which is your favorite – A Retrieved Reformation or The Open Window? Sorry Saki, I vote for O Henry today.

Chevy loses two fans.

The six year old, he is twelve now, says YES.PRESSO! No yellow CAMAROs anymore.

His elder brother, now sixteen, seconds it.

“You are too old for it!” I was expecting the Chemistry teacher to say this when I showed her the picture of S.PRESSO and asked “Shall we?”

I was surprised, she did not say anything.

She gazed at the picture a little too long.

Then… 

Lisa?Isabella?…

VIN and SID again…

“See page 254!” yelled the ten year old. Milliseconds ago I saw him flying over the teapoy, landing on the carpet head first, and rolling towards the television stand. Out of the corner of my eye, the fourteen year old was recovering from some acrobatic maneuver. An airborne book just missed my nose and fell dead on the dining table. “See page 254!” I could see the elder one turning pale. Mother…

I was waiting for the projector cooling fan to stop when one of the participants came back.

We had just finished an hour training session on G Vectoring Control.

It won’t be true to call it a training session, it was more of a discussion.

This session was not in our calendar.

There was a reason for arranging it.

A customer had approached one of our workshops with a strange demand.

He wanted to…

XOXO to Team 4B

What is there in a title!

A participant from a recent technical training session forwarded this to me…

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The teacher was amazing…

Headwind, tailwind, wing angle of attack…

Great information indeed!

I had asked her “ma’am how I’ll estimate the wind direction”

She pointed a blower to me and giggled…

“Look at the feathers at your tail… if they tilt left, the wind is to left..…
