Dorky Guffaw in the Press Pit
Dorky Guffaw is a Rock Journalist. Of course, he is a Journalist as well as a Rock, but calling him the former will swell his gigantic head up in proportion just like a red giant is formed out of a dying star, and calling him the latter will just make him go off on one of his customary random tangents about Simon and Garfunkel songs, of which he [...]
Traffic Boy
Traffic Boy is the latest Superhero to hit the scene, with never before heard of super powers and the ability to work his incredible powers for the greater good of mankind. This follows soon after Dorky Guffaw has also made his debut and has had three episodes and another one in the offing within the next couple of days. Traffic Boy's [...]
Allah ke Bande
Allah Ke Bande is a song by Kailash Kher from the movie Waisa Bhi Hota hai. The first time I heard that song was on the radio when I was travelling on the office bus, towards the office, trying to sustain a morning conversation with someone, and talking arbit stuff in general. As soon as I heard the chorus of the song - Allah ke bande hasde, [...]
Office Space
My initial plan was to start this post with how living alone for most of my forty months in Bangalore has affected my outlook towards the time when I actually have to interact with people either at the office or outside.

Why you shouldn’t believe everything you come across on the net

However, Al Jaljira has been around for longer, and is the space on which I make dedicated posts only on occasion when I [...]

However, apart from the usual [...]
Headgear Rants (Helmets and Bandanas)
What is the deal with junta wearing bandanas on their head before they put their helmet on? I have tried to find some relevant reason for this action, but from where I stand and perceive things, this whole setup reeks ominously of herd mentality. Someone saw someone wear a bandana or a piece of cloth on their head before putting on their [...]
I’ve Had Enough
It is seldom that this LJ or the blog that I maintain suffers from a want of words, that would prompt me to quote from other sources and use the content to fill up a post or two and the only other instance during which I have done that was when I put up a post titled An Insomniac's Lament. The time to do so, seems to have dawned yet again, this [...]
