...about what a character in a Rudyard Kipling novel would say in reply to a question about what his name was, were someone to pose that query in Sanskrit. As an addendum, a certain Simian also said that this was similar to asking James Watt his name.
Another Wikipedia Gem
In what is another documented case of wikipedia vandalism, here is something funny that I chanced upon while checking out the wiki page for Solan, a picturesque town in Himachal Pradesh that my family and I had visited when I was in class 7. That visit seems like a gazillion years ago, but the fond memories of having slept under three fat [...]
Playing by the Book
A school kid has had many a trick to rid himself of the ennui that filled up the space between two consecutive rings of the bell that signified the time period that comprised of a boring class. Of course, not all classes in school were dull and dreary, as the kid found out later on in engineering college, when the classes there raised the bar for [...]

I recently discovered the iTunes store, and subsequently, podcasts, of which I downloaded [...]
The Orbit Chewing Gum Incident

Sadly, the former group outnumbers the latter by a factor of a few thousands. Such is life. I wasreturning home from the office on wednesday evening, when a [...]
Good Life
I was caught on camera whilst on a drinking binge. Much to my relief, it was on a still camera, rather than on video cam and my friend, Shrenik, had the gall to upload a pic of me indulging in my excesses thereafter on his flickr site. He's a stud level photographer, do check his work out!
