Harold and Kumar – Square Root of 3
Who said the Harold and Kumar movies would make a clean sweep of the Razzies? There's some absolutely stellar stuff in it that can still be part of mainstream geek pop culture. Check out this poem titled 'The Square Root of Three'. I fear that I will always be A lonely number like root three The three is all that’s good and right, Why [...]
Monday Morning Blues
The time right now is 8:07 AM on Monday, 7th December 2009. In all the 500-odd blog posts I have ever written, this is the first time ever that I can recall having blogged at this particular time of the day. However, the incident that has led me to be in this current situation is worth documenting. After a night which involved the successful [...]
My Dream Job!
I have finally been able to zero in on what I think is my dream job. Notice I said 'Dream' and this probably means that there isn't a job out there which fits this description in any case. It is probably something I'd like to do to pay the bills and keep some money stashed aside for post-retirement. I can't believe I am thinking that far ahead [...]

Not [...]
Website Down – Back Up Again!
This website was down for the better part of a fortnight and is now back on. Initially, there was a scare that someone had gained access to the required user IDs and passwords to screw around with the system, but Madhu, my friendly next door webmaster assured me that there were no security breaches. Nonetheless, I had inadvertently cleaned up [...]
Garden State
My claim to fame, at this point in time seems to be the fact that I share birthdays with Zach Braff, and with only eight years of a head start, he's achieved more than I think I ever will in this life of mine. That is pretty much the only thing that has gone good in an otherwise somber period of life, where a lackluster performance in [...]
