Send Undies Dot Com
On Friday the 13th, February, women and men from all over India (and maybe abroad), after having hunted around for pink underwear that they're willing to part with, will send it across to some address in Bangalore so that some enterprising people can donate thousands of pieces of said undergarments to Pramod Mutalik of the Shri Rama Sene.

Introducing the Shri Ravana Sene
The Shri Ravan Sene is a new organization that was formed a few days ago, in response to the formation and rise to infamy of the Shri Rama Sene. ( The Shri Rama Sene had previously changed it's name to Shriram Nene, but have since reverted to their original name after nobody else except Pramod Mutalik and a certain idiot named Hari Shenoy found [...]
Disco (?) Dancing Metal Heads
Well, ok, not so much disco as freestyle dancing. But you get the drift. This is the first of two videos I am linking courtesy of youtube. I'd initially put it up, but some resizing error had made the layout look lousy and I'm sort of a stickler for symmetry and for things to look neat on MY website.

The Bhaiyya Network
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's anti-BIMARU immigrant onslaught in Mumbai is a thing of the past, or is simmering under the surface waiting for the right time to rear its ugly head again, given the recent events caused in the city of my birth by people from across the border.

Absent-Minded Bike Rider
After having posted enough and more about my bike riding forays, and having cycled through all the bylanes of Bangalore and having visited every place except Whitefield and Majestic on it during the time I have placed my bum on its saddle, I finally took the plunge to ride the bike to my office. I've worked for a month or so towards ensuring [...]
