Why Google+ holds promise
Google+ seems promising, for me at least. This is why: I don't need to open a separate browser window. I google millions of things each day and having a tab on top to help stay in touch is effective. Google has had a previously built up reputation of erring on the conservative side so far as user privacy is concerned, save for when it got [...]
Urban Banyan
I like t-shirts and I cannot lie. I have always been fascinated by t-shirts because they are comfortable and trendy. One can use a t-shirt to make a statement and they are an apt reflection of one's personality. Just like everyone else, I want my t-shirts to be unique and 'cool'. The coolness factor associated with a t-shirt is inversely [...]
Violet. Indigo. Blue. Green. Yellow. Orange. Red. Transparent!
"Red!", he said, grinning widely as he walked past Pooja, who gave him a dirty stare reserved for the most lecherous of men. Perplexed, he walked along the corridor and repeated said action with Divya.

I will have completed registration by tomorrow evening (or as I might have said in a previous life, EOD tomorrow) and commenced my one year PGP in Management in Hyderabad. The standard definition of 'alma mater' is 'Nourishing Mother [...]
Raghu Dixit Unplugged @ Swagath Garuda Landmarks (16th November 08)
It was quite a while since I'd seen Raghu Dixit perform live, even though I'd had a chance to pick his album up (and have him open the cover and autograph it thereafter, heh) and listen to it. The autographing was around the time I interviewed him for a cover story for RSJ, in April this year, which finally didn't happen for reasons I'm not [...]
What Will Our Children Think?
During one of those times when I was supposed to sit and work on something important, my mind, as usual drifted off in one of those random flights of thought that have been so characteristic of me since class two when I was thrown out of class for not answering my attendence despite occupying the first bench. Being thrown out of class was [...]
