Google Reader ki jai!!
Google reader rocks. Introduced to me by my flatmate, its really good stuff, albeit I picked it up a tad late. To know what it does, try it. While you're at it, add my blog as well as my livejournal to it, once you sign up.
Funda from the movie Don
The picture below is of me standing next to "The Scream", by Edvard Munch. This is a famous painting, a parody of which was seen on MTV, and can hopefully be recollected for instant association. Copies of the painting exist in quite a few places, as can be found out through the wikipedia page linked herein above. Now, the interesting part. [...]
Munich
I saw Munich for the second time over the weekend.

New Blade Has Come
Personal grooming and the owner of this blog are generally mutually exclusive, because grooming is something people undertake to impress members of the opposite sex, and I have decided to take up the life of a hedonistic ascetic (latest in the list of my corny oxymorons) or rather, take a brief hiatus from the entire grooming ritual for its actual [...]
