Twitter Fundas
It is only recently that I've caught on with the whole twitter phenomenon, previously being a passive observer of the same as a few other people I know went about twittering away to glory. Despite using my twitter account regularly now, I doubt that I put up anything of significance, much like how I unleash on my website as [...]
Much Ado about Leave
For four years now, since I have commenced life as a working professional, the subject of leave is a very touchy one, so far as broaching the same with one's managers is concerned. I have noticed that while I can talk about any leave plans I have with some manager that I have already worked with for a few months, if I have to inform a manager [...]
India’s Answer to Prom Night
I am quite sure everyone who has chanced upon this website knows what prom night is. Prom night has had enough and more references in movies, books and other means of propagating mainstream American pop culture to have remained hidden from those outside of the US and Canada.

Not just that, as an [...]
My Own Music Channel
When I have enough money, I plan to do a Rupert Murdoch and start my own set of TV channels to beam live via satellite. One such channel will be dedicated exclusively to the genre of acid rock and its other variants such as acid punk and acid lounge and what not. I've decided to name that channel.......wait for it.......pH1!!
Word of the day : Obaminable
Firstly, I am not supporting anyone in the upcoming US Presidential Elections. I'm more bothered about who my corporator, my MLA, my MP and my PM will be. However, you can't run away from, and you can't most certainly hide from all the attention that the media is paying to the entire campaign. Nevertheless, for the record, I think Obama [...]
