About

Simply simple was supposed to be all about simple living. However as time went by, I had to create various categories for the differing content streams that were born out of necessity. It was a great alternative to maintaining multiple blogs.

You can subscribe to the feeds that you are interested in from the right sidebar (pink RSS icons) on the post pages.

The currently planned categories are as follows:

IT Related Stuff : That’s my profession. I needed a place to put up some end user self help for my office colleagues who are spread out from Delhi to the North East and then down again to Maharashtra. Repeating the same tripe over the phone any more would have given me seizures, so I put up all the stuff online so that I could retain my sanity and send them links by email. In addition to that, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from the Internet over all these years and have been helped by other peoples blogs, so this is where I give back to the community.
Reviews : …of my camping gear, once again as I’ve been helped by others reviews… Then I thought why not throw in some service providers, and so it goes on. Hope it helps as many people as possible to make informed buying decisions just as others reviews helped me make mine. Hope it also encourages the manufacturers/Vendors to keep up/improve their services & products.
Surviving Single : Living alone in Delhi on rent was a big challenge. Girls get by more easily (or at least they got by in the past) as they were trained to clean, set up/organise the house properly and cook -these skills being considered essential for marriage. Some guys I knew were so unlucky that they were forbidden to enter the kitchen as it was considered a no male zone or were just over pampered by their mothers. This one is specially for the guys -to get them started off on the right foot with in-context advice (for Indians) born out my own struggles in coping with these things. Of course there might be some girls who would find it useful too and it will cover all aspects of life including personal finance and cost cutting tips.
Survival/Evasion : Living off the grid : My favourite topic! Here you will find a lot of information on Bushcraft, Shelters, Survival foods and other survivalist information. There hardly seem to be any Indian survivalist blogs. I’m also in the process of cataloguing both edible & medicinal plants and down to earth cooking tribal/aboriginal cooking techniques.
Conspiracy : I hope you find this as interesting as it has been for me to research!
DIY (Do it Yourself) : This section is planned for the future
Wellness -both Physical & Spiritual : I put down what makes sense to me as I ponder on health issues. Working in a healthcare organisation has given me fresh insights & questions about health as we know it. I also put down my experiences with the spirit world here for others to ponder as I strongly feel that it plays an integral part in an individuals health and wellness. Its also interesting to have a look at other lesser schools of thought and their approach to healing…. find out whether it works! Its the guinea pig that’s doing the writing!!

If you start with the spiritual side, then everything else will make sense, otherwise the other things do not seem to make any sense and its like having a jigzaw puzzle which you can’t put together -not because you don’t have the piece but because you have been taught since childhood that the pieces you hold do not belong to the puzzle. Thus you end up going through life searching for the non existent missing links/pieces hoping that you will find them sooner or later!

The theme of simplicity runs through most of these categories except for the IT stuff and the reviews section.Many of the things are in constant revision as my expertise is in Operating Systems & Networking rather than web design, so please bear with me. I also do this in my free time of which I have very little… so expect delays sometimes…
