Life of a Human Resources Person
Human Resources – do we love them or do we hate them?
Humour
Cartoons, observational comedy, situational humour and satire.
Early Disappointment
We got our first car when I was 5. My mother described it as an ‘off-white Fiat’ and proceeded to invite all the kids in the colony for a ride. I was disappointed though. Why? Because I wanted an autorickshaw. I figured dad could sit in driver’s seat and mum…

The Tribulations Of An Ant

Made it into the office! Soaking umbrella dumped into the bucket at the door, hair slicked…
God At Work?
Conversations with God also known as the BOSS on a rain-drenched day. Prayers remain unanswered – a humorous take.
