I had heard cool things about DonorsChoose.org but last night was the first time I visited the website. It is awesome.
Donors Choose was started in the year 2000 in the Bronx by a social studies teacher. It is a not-for-profit website that allows public school teachers to request classroom project materials by submitting a one [...]
My favorite cricket star is Sachin Tendulkar. If you must ask why he is my favorite player than you must not follow cricket. Tendalkur is everyone’s favorite player in India. If you want to make friends (or at least make conversation) with an Indian just mention cricket and their Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. [...]
When I was a young impressionable lad (think the late 90’s!) I used to write down all my “life lessons” in a marble notebook. I was experiencing and learning so much so quickly that I felt like I needed to put it on paper to make it real, and more importantly, make it part [...]
Next week I’m off to India for a few weeks. The primary reason for the trip is to attend the wedding of my colleague and friend Param and his soon to be wife Rohini in New Delhi. From what I have been told, and what the invitation/booklet informs me, a traditional sikh wedding is [...]

Dubai often catches my interest in the News but until reading this I didn’t really understand what’s happening over there. The extreme wealth seems almost comical and US news reporting on [...]

My team, Dodgeball 2.0, consists of NextNY entrepreneurs and we’ve been enjoying a decent amount of success in our second season. While I’m not in love with dodgeball leagues (awkwardly intense) I’ve enjoyed playing on this [...]
I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to Facebook. I just like to use the site to better understand the future of the Internet. At least that is what I say to myself. I even wrote this thoughtful post evaluating the service a few months back.
The other day my friend Brett signed up for Facebook [...]
Don Imus said something stupid. He’s been doing that for years. I used to listen to Imus in high school. My dad would sometimes listen to the show and I guess he got me into it. I already listened to WFAN all day long so I didn’t even have to turn [...]
