Counter-Intuitive Nicknames
Ever since I was able to, I have given people around me nicknames. Most of them have been funny and non-offensive, and have had a decent shelf-life. The only one, which I thought was quite funny, which almost had me killed was 'bird flu'. At the height of the virus scare, the person who was given said nickname didn't share my enthusiasm or my [...]
My Own Music Channel
When I have enough money, I plan to do a Rupert Murdoch and start my own set of TV channels to beam live via satellite. One such channel will be dedicated exclusively to the genre of acid rock and its other variants such as acid punk and acid lounge and what not. I've decided to name that channel.......wait for it.......pH1!!
They Fart
Yes, I am now the proud owner of theyfart at gmail dot com. Don't ask me why I bothered to get this ID. It just seemed like a good idea at that time.

But whenever I see people eat idli-vada, I notice that they always use spoons [...]

Another random facebook search for kicks threw funny results, just like the time when I had searched for Elisha Cuthbert and instead got all the members of the SGPC (Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee) listed. This time I searched for Sania Mirza, just to see if she might actually be on facebook and one quite funny profile I chanced upon [...]
Praise or Abuse?
Its been four months since my last birthday today, and I was just remembering the day and what transpired a couple of days before and after that. One thing that stands out in my mind is worth documenting here, for posterity. Our office has a splendid intranet portal which has all sorts of things to keep oneself preoccupied should blogging / [...]
Random Observation
You can type faster if you choose not to type as if a you're trying to kill a spider that is running across your keyboard. Churning out gibberish is usually more taxing than churning out sense.
How Are The Things?
There is this particular person who I have worked with at the office who has a peculiar way of greeting people. He says - "How are the things?". His inclination towards adopting an expression that he's probably heard when abroad and making a totally bastardized version of the same has had me in splits every time he has asked me this [...]
