American Gods and Minor Chords
When I was in Bangalore to attend the Simian's wedding on 23rd May, I had time to kill between the wedding ceremony (which I went late for, thanks to horrendous traffic, only to eat the lunch served there like the shameless freeloader that I am) and the reception later in the evening. I then decided to indulge in my current favourite pastime, [...]
Notes About Nothing – The Gurgaon Chronicles Continued…
So I return yet again with a continuation of the 'Notes About Nothing' series, after spambots hogged my website bandwidth for the second month in a row. I was initially taken aback by the fact that I was getting 509-ed (getting a bandwidth exceeded error) despite having very poor traffic, but the use of some plug-ins will hopefully stem the [...]

2009: The Year That Was
2009 has been quite a year for me and when I am long gone and my great-great-grand kids want to read what I've written (yeah, your great-great-gramps is teh_pwnage!), they need to be shown how cool I was, even if it means writing something completely untrue and fabricated, as some part of this post might turn out to be. Having said that, most [...]
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 [...]
The Anegundi Chronicles – Footboard Travel and Beyond
Most of my friends who undertook a two year MBA program had a summer internship in between the end of their first year and the start of their second year. I know of people who've been to London, Singapore. Goa, Bombay, coastal Kerala (as if there is any other) and so on for their 'summers' as they're called in the two-year MBA world. My MBA is [...]
Sleepless in Guntakal – part 1
Meeting the Co-passengers: Indian Railways has, for me, over the years become synonymous with adventures. If they would've introduced frequent train traveller cards with discount offers and such, I'd have been laughing all the way to the bank, or to wherever else these cards were valid. My travel along the Jaipur - Mysore Express via [...]
Exploring Mysore Like Never Before
At the end of last month, just before I moved out of Bangalore, I passed by Lalbagh umpteen times. I saw MTR near the Lalbagh West Gate and had this major pang of regret at not having been inside Lalbagh, ever eaten at MTR and done so many other things that are associated with anr are characteristic of the Bangalore experience. I am sure that a [...]
