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 [...]
Making Music
This is one bit of shameless plugging of self that I'm indulging in, for a good cause. I play the bass guitar for a band named 'Arth'. Our lyrics are in Hindi, and one can classify our music under the rock genre. On the first day of the beginning of the second half of 2008, we've uploaded three mp3s of our as part of an initial demo we've [...]
The Third Bangalore Photowalk
There is a significant possibility that this post of mine is redundant, simply because there's justifiable proof that most people who've followed my LJ have invariably added Skimpy's Livejournal to their RSS feed reader. Although there's a single instance of validation for my assumption, I think I wouldn't be unwarranted in making an educated [...]

Bangalore Rocks!!!
Bangalore rocks! Totally and absolutely. Although Mysore will always be city no.1 so far as I am concerned for the rest of my life, I've grown to love Bangalore so much more after a weekend trip to Chennai. Three days in Chennai on band related work and within twelve hours of landing there, I was pining away for Bangalore and its [...]
Goodbye Stranger, Its Been Nice
In all probability, this is the last post in my blog for 2007. I had written a somewhat senti post a year ago about how friends are moving on, while I still seem to be running hard just to stay in the same place. This is a personal post of sorts, and if you aren't really keen on reading it, you've been warned. (My own 'cute' Caveat [...]
Diwali fundaes
"Stupid little kids, wish I were a few hundred metres away and I had a sniper rifle in my hands", I muttered to myself, only half in jest as Iwas rudely woken up by the resounding blasts of some extremely noisy firecrackers that set my ears ringing, as I cursed away, abusing everyone that came to mind, right from the parents of these kids to the [...]
Thigh In The Sky
"Why the hell is the third guy going to Majestic if he lives in Malleswaram? Is he retarded or something?" - those were my precise words addressed to Sai Ganesh, my teammate for the Bangalore LandMarks Open Quiz 2007. A chance meeting at the Bangalore Film Society a fortnight ago to watch the Oscar-winning 'No Man's Land' resulted in both Sai and [...]
