Another exciting development in CueBlocks is the launch of Jobs Chirp. This application comes completely from our experience of dealing with different HR tools.

With the boys in US and my mom in London, managing office and home has been quite an interesting experience. Although I have been on my own before, this experience has by far been the most amusing. For example, the day Sarthak & Pancham left, his car’s oil chamber broke. I was still in the [...]

Since the day we started CueBlocks, this is probably the first time three of us are working from different corners of the world. I’m here, managing the physical office in Chandigarh alone for the first time. While I’m enjoying the experience and am learning so much, I miss the boys! These are exciting times for [...]

So I’m learning Spanish and all thanks to my enthusiastic friend and fellow learner, Sim, we have an exam on Monday. This is not the first test and I’m just glad we don’t have to look into the camera and speak (been through that embarrassment already thanks to my camera loving teacher!) or worse sing! [...]

It was a delight to hear him speak. I think he is the most popular political figure on Earth. I sat up to watch him speak and was feeling so happy he was the President – and I am not even a US citizen! I want to feel this happy with my own country’s leaders. [...]

Say whatever, high heels are still here. The endless list of surveys and studies done on high heels is not surprising. Here’s what been said: 1. High heels may improve sex drive – March 2008.
