IIT M Saarang 2010 Update
Last heard from the organizers at IIT Madras, Hammerfall, the Swedish power metal band was scheduled to perform at this year's edition of Saarang. You'd have no doubt read about it online in one of many websites, including, possibly an article here.

Violet. Indigo. Blue. Green. Yellow. Orange. Red. Transparent!
"Red!", he said, grinning widely as he walked past Pooja, who gave him a dirty stare reserved for the most lecherous of men. Perplexed, he walked along the corridor and repeated said action with Divya. "Skin colour!", he said and had a near death experience when she slapped him and this almost resulted in him being decapitated by the force [...]

The Swedish metal invasion at IIT Madras is on in full force this year as well, with Gothenburg based power metal act Hammerfall being the main performing act.

Solstice 2009
Solstice (the annual ISB alumni festival, for all that are not aware) is that time of the year that most students on campus look forward to, since it is one weekend in which brakes are applied on activities in this swirling maelstrom and people unwind, chill out and relax instead. Yeah. Right. Fat chance. The amount of time and preparation [...]
The Tale of the Hitched Simian
I have very few close friends, though my facebook friends tally indicates that I have close to 900 people that would be considered as social networking pals. An appropriate list trimming, as triggered by Neha Vish shall soon be put into force once I am jobless enough. Ironically, I am more jobless when I am employed than when I am actually [...]
