		<description><![CDATA[What should I expect from a novella titled Bollywood Sperm? Anything Bollywood by itself is packed with controversy, spice, and silliness. Add Sperm and it becomes potent, ready to re-produce within you. Nikhil Tripathi’s first published work is good storytelling. An easy read that does not fail to raise uneasy questions. That said, this is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.gurdas.com&amp;blog=1048290&amp;post=983&amp;subd=guldasta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[See that small dog in my friend Sue&#8217;s arms? Her name is Sweet Tea and sweet she is. She attracts attention like a magnet. And she acts pricey. For the 45 odd minutes that we were there outside the Starbucks close to campus, we had about 10 people who looked at her and smiled as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.gurdas.com&amp;blog=1048290&amp;post=734&amp;subd=guldasta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent episode with a friend, the value of trust in a relationship was revealed (again). The more I forge and nurture relationships, the more I respect the value of trust. It explains actions and thoughts without need of an elaborate explanation. Many words and actions either become redundant or, even more, take on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.gurdas.com&amp;blog=1048290&amp;post=695&amp;subd=guldasta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cheri, office manager for my apartment complex, passed away this past weekend. The news reached us a few minutes ago. And only a few minutes before that I had gone down to the office looking for a package I was expecting and wondered why the office was closed. Little did I know the news that awaited me.

		<description><![CDATA[I am an avid tea drinker. Not that I drink gallons of it, just that I cherish each sip. A well brewed cup of tea (and that rules out any tea made by a machine) can do wonders to my mood. I can get almost intoxicated. And tea has led to many a memorable conversation with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.gurdas.com&amp;blog=1048290&amp;post=344&amp;subd=guldasta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
