The ‘Ghajini’ Review
Posted on January 12, 2009 - Filed Under blog
My first reaction to a name like ‘Ghajini‘ was that it was a cartoon about a female elephant.
Never mind the fact that I had the same reaction when someone mentioned ‘Gajagamini‘ as well.
The female elephant theory (that I came up with in a state of total sobriety) seemed validated when Aamir Khan beefed [...]
Absent-Minded Bike Rider
Posted on December 20, 2008 - Filed Under blog
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.

My friend’s bike, which I am in possession of when he is in the US, has been extremely useful for me [...]

Dorky has had a new means of transport, a bike, [...]
