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 [...]
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. Here's a background on why you are [...]
Parsimonious Peregrination
a.k.a travelling like the cheap guy that I am a.k.a Bangalore-Chennai-Bangalore on even less than a shoestring. At the very outset of this post, I am reminded of some random thing I did in engineering college, in the third and the seventh semester. We had this particular lecturer whose idea of teaching was to walk into class, dictate notes [...]
What Petrol Crisis?
Its all over the news today, although it might've been overshadowed by the Satyam fiasco, which has almost managed to dislodge all relevant 26/11 coverage from major news channels. In case you weren't aware, there's a major petrol product supplies crisis due to the combined effects of strikes by the truckers (which has entered its fourth day) [...]
Demonic Resurrection : Opeth = Kryptos : Iron Maiden
Elementary, dear reader. Or more like an extension of high school math - ratio and proportion. So, for those that came in late, Mumbai based Demonic Resurrection is all set to be the opening act for Opeth's maiden India show to be held on 25th January at IIT-M for Saarang 2009. When last heard, Sahil Makhija, front man of DR was so [...]
My Cousin’s Wedding and Other Stories
Well, I made up the other stories part so you'd start reading, but I wouldn't hold it against you if you were to just close the window. So, on Saturday evening, I left Bangalore for Mangalore via train and returned on Monday morning. It had been almost two years since I had visited Mangalore, and that was in January 2007 for the wedding of a [...]
Opeth in Chennai! (January 2009)
If recent buzz is to be believed, the 2009 IITM festival, Saarang, might have Opeth headlining the show. Yes, you read that right, Opeth (wikipedia link). This is as big as when Jethro Tull headlined Unmaad at IIMB in 2006 February, and I guess most people in Bangalore aren't particularly thrilled about the fact that a huge name like Opeth [...]
