Notes About Nothing – The Gurgaon Chronicles
I was meaning to write about settling in for a while, but for some strange reason, my website exceeded the allocated bandwidth limit despite getting very few hits on average per day. COnsequently, around 22nd April, when I was itching to blog, all I could do was to sit and stare helplessly at the 509:bandwidth exceeded error, much like eunuchs at [...]
Stooping to New Lows
Sometime in early 2008, a friend of mine and I were having a competition regarding whose life was more pathetic. Winning this competition gave one of the participants considerable pride and props in the eyes of the other person. Think of it along the lines of a slow cycle race where the participants battle it out such that the last person to [...]
ISB Class of 2010 Sign-Off?
So I celebrated my birthday a few days ago. It was after I graduated as part of the ISB class of 2010. Yay! But this blog post is not about that. I realize that I haven't been writing much on this blog for a while, but I do want to promise myself that in due time, when I begin work in a few days in the NCR, that I will have done enough or felt [...]

It is brilliantly surprising as to what one can perform simply by being aware of the right sets of tools for the right kinds of tasks. Some of them might be old and [...]
Of Youtube, South Indian Cinema, ARR and Language Proficiency
Youtube is growing to be among one of my favourite websites of all time, thanks to the endless amount of content on it. Whenever I've wanted to see a random music video of some vague song that I had heard when I was in my teens, youtube helps me find the video, without fail. I'm no longer bothered about missing the latest videos on VH1 and one of [...]

I am a Ghost
At least if this thing is to be believed. Looks like my constant chant of Legodeth's Embrace me now, Sweet Mother Death was finally heard. I know of very few people out there that share my name and a random ego-surfing trip resulted in this being thrown up. In other news, Saarang 2010 was super good fun, interviewing Hammerfall further [...]
