Since Big K drivers carefully on roads, he expects everyone to driver carefully – and there’s nothing wrong in that. So, today’s post is about wearing [...]

Okay, I know you didn’t like the title. I didn’t like it either.

To: <yourboss@company.com> Email Subject: Letter of resignation R/Sir, Please accept this email as a notification that I wish to resign from the position of [...]

by The Big K on June 21, 2008

I’ve just ended up ordering my second Pizza for today. I know that Pizza+Coke is not good for health. However, I don’t have any option right now. The only good thing about Pizza is sometimes its tasty and all the time – it has a damn good name. For example, right now I’ve ordered : Veggie Supreme. Earlier today, I had ordered: Paneer El Rancho Now both these pizzas are costly. I just wonder how much these people charge for [...]
