Why do some of us do it? Why do we just find it so irresistible? What are we so curious to know? In a conversation I had with a couple of my colleagues, the men wondered why women like snooping through their husbands or boyfriends’ phones. Why, they asked, is it hard not to go…
Let No One put Asunder
‘I, ____, take you, ____, to be my lawfully wedded (husband/wife), to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.’ Powerful, powerful words aren’t they.

The story does paint a backdrop, though, of…

What If…?
Innovation is at the very heart of the existence of the life science company I work for. We have been encouraged not to kill any idea and to continuously think of solutions to problems that we face in our day-to-day life, to internalize and to live the essence of the concept ‘What if’. To be…
