More Gultland Bands Battle
Sunday, the 20th September saw me visit another Xtreme Sports Bar, this time around in Karkhana, Secundrabad. This bar was significantly more spacious and looked like it could hold more people than the one at Banjara Hills, but the latter was split into two levels and I didn't really get a chance to head to the second level when I had been there [...]
Battle of the Gultland Bands
Turns out that my having written for RSJ for three years has given me enough street cred to be able to judge a music competition. I was asked to judge some music competition at the office for a bunch of campus recruits quite some time ago, and I assumed that I would be so bored out of my wits that I went there, armed with a Superman comic as a [...]
The Relationship Plimsoll Line
The Plimsoll line, also known as the International Load Line or the Waterline is "an imaginary line marking the level at which a ship or a boat floats in the water." This is to ensure that a ship has sufficient freeboard and reserve buoyancy. Now, in the true spirit of content on this site, you must be WTFing and wondering what the Plimsoll [...]
Placebo – Live in India in 2010!
After the brilliant news that Porcupine Tree is going to be part of the 2009 Mood Indigo festival at IIT Bombay, it is now turn to rejoice again as one of my favourite bands, Placebo is all set to tour India in 2010. According to their official website, tour dates have been announced only until the end of 2009. However, a reliable source in the [...]
Temporal Manifestation of Divinity
It was not too long ago that I quoted Pico Iyer on my site, mentioning how he's written so beautifully about the connection he felt with Japan even before he visited the place, which in turn triggered a thought process in my head about how I felt a strong connection with this other place that I intend to visit and hopefully live in, in due time. [...]
The Cold Call
Two enterprising classmates of mine, Reetu Srivastava and Pruthviraj Haral have come up with this super-stud brilliant comic strip which has been appropriately titled 'The Cold Call', which documents life on campus. Their refreshing cynicism and their bold attempts at highlighting and making fun of all the absurd things that sometimes go on on [...]
Porcupine Tree Live – Mood Indigo – 21st December 2009!
As seen on Porcupine Tree's myspace website, it is now officially confirmed that they will be performing at IIT Bombay's Mood Indigo festival on 21st December 2009. Porcupine Tree has been a more recently acquired taste for me, though the songs of theirs that I have heard from the albums 'Stupid Dream', 'Deadwing' and 'In Absentia' are too [...]
Search Engine Queries – 4th September 2009
On popular demand by one person, a certain Nishit Desai, this series is back with a bang. I've not had much of a chance to track all the studmax searches that have led people to my humble (not!) website, but here's a sample of the more amusing and somewhat disgusting searches that people have keyed in to get here. I wish Peter Pan were [...]
