Sex, scents and some secrets - Part 1


Life is one suffocating crowded train. With tamed aggressions and with an indifference, you let yourself moved by a greater force through a long humid tunnel. And suddenly something happens to transport you into a valley of blooming daisies with a cooling shower and a distant rainbow. That’s how I felt meeting her.

I shall introduce her to you as ‘Swapna’ When I saw her the first time, I remember having troubles lifting my eyes up her bosom. Dusky in complexion, with full lips and big eyes Swapna can easily make you wear your heart up your sleeve. Whenever she walks with me, all eyes would be on her and on me by association. She would gracefully bag the wide eyed silent compliments like a graceful breeze, dazzling more at being noticed. A cheerful social butterfly, always fresh with high energy that when she is moody, you can spot it like a full buffalo in your soup.

I have met her few times in social and business settings but that was the first time I am meeting her outside both our cities. She wanted to go out for shopping and dinner with me. I cautiously told her to dress down. I did not fancy the idea of saving her by fighting with unknown thugs in unknown alleys. Good food and nice conversations followed that we decided to go back to her room to continue.

Now rewind a little and let me tell you something special about me. In the past, anything like her would make me a single minded organism with raging hormones. But with age, experience and a long exposure to psychology and spiritual analysis, I am developing a special skill. I am aware of the emotions rising inside me instantly and am able to slice and dice them. It is the ultimate power that you are able to be in control of your next move. With that, I had begun to look at women as curious subjects, individuals beyond their sexuality. It’s the mould of a writer that I am getting into these days. And there is something deep about her that I wanted to study.

Even then, its like walking on the mines trying to profile her in her hotel room alone. I was aware of that too and yet the inevitable couldn’t be stopped….

A Date - Part 1

“Good Morning. How is everything? Did you manage to have an early breakfast date with yourself?” I was on the bed in a hotel room in Jakarta when that SMS woke me up. I only managed to get a very few hours of sleep that night. Even in that, my mind went churning non-stop on some meaningless, unconnected things. I was literally aware of all that turmoil in the half sleep, twisting and tossing through it. Back to the SMS. All the SMS I get usually are with a single consistent purpose - my colleagues trying to find my whereabouts. Note - none of them is a hot babe. (This is altogether a different topic - how come no hot chick in this whole damn world manages to become an IT architect!!) Oh, for a change, I do occasionally get some irritating marketing campaigns. So, it is not a wonder that this message sprang me awake like a Maasai Warrior. (Maasai are an African tribe famous for their ability to rise from the deepest sleep to a state of total combat readiness in a matter of seconds)...

Birthdays and Facebook

I read about a guy who had 400+ friends in Facebook. One day he woke up as a curious little wanker and wondered if he is really that sociable. So he organized a party and sent invitations to all his contacts over Facebook. 50% confirmed and another 20% were tentative. He was delighted - that’s one hell of a response, actually. The real day came. Our man waited at the venue, which happened to be a popular joint, but no single soul turned up. An hour later, one woman came but she also left in the next 30 minutes. He had 400 friends and yet he ended up drinking alone that night. So the question to ponder is how close are our virtual worlds to the reality? . But my case was quite not as somber. Yesterday was my birthday. Facebook reminded of it to a whole lot of my gang. Some of them have never wished me in decades and some are new. How exciting! So here is my big thanks to all my dear friends for the wishes over calls, sms and facebook. You made me feel special. Special thanks to cutie p...

Sift Audience Data Query Language (DQL) – 1

I had been thinking long and hard on enhancing the Audience Management capability in Sift. Everybody seems to have it - from the mighty big players to the obscure ones. In such a crowded space, it is of prime importance to have a very clear and a striking "unique selling proposition" before you boast that you have this capability too. Basically, the tool shall solve a problem that was very challenging previously, in a cost effective way that was not thought of commonly. Now, Sift is a real time analytics engine. So obviously, the profiles it builds about individual entities are accurate - up to the second. That gets a lot of brownies to start with. And as Sift would limitlessly process data, the data points it can compute for a single entity would also be much wider in range. This is great too. But, 1. What if I add "relationships between the entities" into this mix? For example, retrieving " all customers who just visited a particular online storefront...
