How Are The Things?
There is this particular person who I have worked with at the office who has a peculiar way of greeting people. He says - "How are the things?". His inclination towards adopting an expression that he's probably heard when abroad and making a totally bastardized version of the same has had me in splits every time he has asked me this [...]
It Makes Me Wonder
I wish I knew all the racial classifications of the types of people that are present within our country back when I was in school and learning Math. Then the topic on 'Surds' would've been more interesting. It would've been even more funny had we had Sardars in class and we'd have had questions like - 'identify which of these is a Surd' or 'What [...]
At World’s End
The end of the world is upon us. Most definitely so. Things are all going awry, and nothing is making sense anymore.

Our office has reported that employees need to stay put in order not to get caught in the panic that is [...]

From what has been stated across multiple websites and TV channels, the blasts [...]
Dark Knight on iMax???
This is not an original idea, it was something my friend thought of and mentioned to me just a couple of minutes ago. Just like all other brilliant ideas, this is one of those that one wishes they'd thought about previously. I saw The Dark Knight on Friday evening at Fun Cinemas in Cunningham Road. By the time the movie was over, I was completely [...]
Movement to WordPress
Skimpy has upped the ante of his blogging forays by moving to a new website altogether. Although the power of feed readers will ensure that nothing changes with regard to following his blog, at the same time, the movement to a new and improved fully customized website is another thing altogether. Having seen quite a few blogs morph into [...]
