Millionaires of India, Unite !!!
We the undersigned millionaires*, wish to file a defamation case against music director A.R.Rahman, Anil Kapoor, Danny Boyle, Dev Patel, that cute girl who stars opposite him and the assistant director to Danny Boyle who is good-looking but whose name I can't remember right now. Heck, we'll even throw in Vikas Swarup for having written the [...]
Search Engine Queries – 13th to 20th January 2009
So I've decided to come up with this new category called 'Nonsense' on my website. Not that the other stuff isn't, but this one is the crème de la crème out of all the other crap out there. I like to keep track of the total number of visitors on my website, and one of the advantages of such a statistics tracker is that search engine [...]
Parsimonious Peregrination
a.k.a travelling like the cheap guy that I am a.k.a Bangalore-Chennai-Bangalore on even less than a shoestring. At the very outset of this post, I am reminded of some random thing I did in engineering college, in the third and the seventh semester. We had this particular lecturer whose idea of teaching was to walk into class, dictate notes [...]
People are Stupid (part 1)
People are inherently stupid. Unless they have incentive to act otherwise, of course. I think Scott Adams used these precise words in one of his books, not sure which one, but I think it was in 'The Dilbert Principle'. Anyhoo, I've ranted enough about morons on the planet, and how they make me feel good about myself when I am down and [...]
Wanted : Trivial Pursuit (Board Game) Cards
Well, the title of the post says it all, eh? I was introduced to this board game in engineering college, a few years ago by a close friend of mine and former quiz team-mate named Vikarna, and its one of those incredibly addictive board games. I think I like it much more than scrabble for the entertainment value it provides, although the one [...]
The President Are Coming
Sankranthi evening was mercifully a holiday, and the evening saw an impromptu plan being made with a friend of mine named Prasad to go and watch The President is Coming. After having had two pegs of old monk rum, we ended up sitting in the theatre with nobody else in our row, and due to our state of inebriation, couldn't contain our laughter [...]
An Interesting Presentation
Employees SuckView SlideShare presentation or Upload your own. (tags: bookmooch magnatune) An interesting slide presentation that I managed to find courtesy of Rajat Pandit's blog. It made me think. A little more than usual. I've probably put it up so I don't forget that I need to keep thinking about it. Both from the idea perspective [...]
The ‘Ghajini’ Review
My first reaction to a name like 'Ghajini' was that it was a cartoon about a female elephant. Never mind the fact that I had the same reaction when someone mentioned 'Gajagamini' as well. The female elephant theory (that I came up with in a state of total sobriety) seemed validated when Aamir Khan beefed up by drinking a truck full of milk [...]
