Ten Commandments in LOL Speak
Given my continued fascination for LOL speak, I've decided to undertake a collaborative project with anyone interested to translate the Bible into LOL speak. I would've translated other holy works as well, but its quite easy to work on the Bible for starters, since it is already in English. Regretfully, LOL speak is still in its nascent stages [...]
Band Photo
So, the other day, our friend Shrenik came when we were putting practise, and using his flashy remote controlled Nikon DSLR took a few pics of us. Combined with Adobe illustrator, he's done something that you can see embedded here (see up). He's taken a few other weird and funny photos of us. For more of his work on flickr check out Shrenik's [...]
Ek Do Teen
While I was sitting at home on the sofa, staring away into the piercing green eyes of the inflatable alien hanging from our ceiling, a random thought suddenly struck me. The song Ek Do Teen from the movie Tezaab just came to mind. The song begins with Madhuri Dixit's character talking to the crowd, and when they keep chanting her name (Mohini, [...]
Mysore Rock Fest Day 2

Firstly, hats off to Anbumani Ramadoss for his smoking rule. The two pubs I've been to since the ban came into effect at the start of this month have provided good [...]
Every Band Needs a Sound Engineer

Sadly, it is going the Bangalore way, and while the ban on live music in places [...]
The ‘Rock On’ Review for Citizen Matters
Following this post on the Rock On roast, I had a chance to put up a similar review, albeit toned down and significantly more formal for Citizen Matters. However, nothing beats Greatbong's Review for the same, at least so far as entertainment value is concerned.
Wordsmith US Election Words
Most of you might've subscribed to Wordsmith's 'A Word A Day'. I have done so, on my office ID. On days when I receive absolutely no mail due to inactivity for whatever reasons, Wordsmith sends me mail unfailingly, and indicates inbox activity. Usually, every week, a few words with a common theme are chosen and unleashed, and this week (19th [...]
Drinking Theories
I have two theories on alcohol consumption that I wanted to blag about. I know neither will make it to a research paper, but then again, what else is my awesome blag for, aye? Drinking on a Sunday Evening: Most people tend to drink on Friday or Saturday evenings, once the working week has come to an end. Thereafter, uncontrolled alcohol [...]
