Hubby came back from Malaysia last week and he immediately felt the difference. The lazy laid back sensations. The warm, dry air. The hum of drinks and conversations at pubs. A cycle to town, a badminton game. No hurry to go anywhere after. Yes, it’s August, it’s summer and it’s the silly season. (Updated 2019:… Continue reading The silly season
Aging
At 53, some people would say I am mad to feel the signs of age but I think its relative to how long you think your life has run, meaningfully. My entrepreneurial life started at 17, when I tried to import scanners from Canada (remember this is 1977), when I was bored hanging around my… Continue reading Aging
Privacy issue is a red herring
I’m going to start this post with a metaphorical story. There was a land where the ground surface was mud. It wasn’t that big a deal and most day-to-day lives went on without much of a problem. There was an issue however, and that is, that shoes would get stuck onto the mud. Sometimes it… Continue reading Privacy issue is a red herring
Leadership styles and pet peeves
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile and since we will be getting a woman PM, I thought I’ll blog it. I’m a big advocate of women’s rights to equality and acknowledge that women’s standing in society is different across countries and cultures. I’m more tolerant perhaps of men’s autocratic and often belligerent styles, growing… Continue reading Leadership styles and pet peeves
Brexit… moving on…
Have not posted on brexit for awhile. My anger is now spent and my position is now a simple one. I think many of those who have voted for brexit have been misled, some are just idealists, a few are romantics, some are racists, some are idiots and the rest are just plain stupid, for not… Continue reading Brexit… moving on…

You can read the paper here. As Chief Economist of HATDeX, I am part of the team that designed the solution. However, I feel it was important to articulate some of… Continue reading HATs and Rights
Once upon a time in academia….
A flippant account of my academic life…. Once upon a time, there was a girl who was curious. She was curious about everything, but mostly about complex things. She was one of those little girls who liked to understand why people are simple and nice and normal but when they come together in business and… Continue reading Once upon a time in academia….
Doing it again, 30 years later
When I graduated in the eighties with a degree in physics and applied physics (where we spent glorious days on 6502 integer programming and bashing up the Apple space bar playing Space invaders and cracking Zork 1,2,3 and everything infocomm games were throwing at us); Instead of going to work for a large corporation, I… Continue reading Doing it again, 30 years later
Identity: confused
For the longest time, much of what I thought about was my academic work and my blogs were on the academic blogsite Here. Occasionally, I had a few random thoughts on the personal side which I put it in different places and notes here and there. I’m giving up. I realise, as I reach a ripe… Continue reading Identity: confused
