Of Premature Celebrations and Apologies
It has been seven days since I did anything related to the internet. I took a few days off work, and combined with holidays for Dasara, the total number of days for which I was away from the office was seven in all. Being a cheap and lazy guy who doesn't want to spend all his time at home online, I have consciously avoided getting another [...]
Child Free Zones
There are many things that I see and hear that irk me no end, and being the non-confrontational skinny guy that I am, I choose to rant about it by posting it on LJ. Plus I'd rather not get my "Meh" t-shirt or my "Security" t-shirt torn in any fracas that ensues from a retaliation to my righteous moral indignation. I've ranted about virtually [...]
Introducing The ‘Cook Buddy’ Concept
I love to cook. Of course, I love to eat much more than I love to cook, but one look at me and you'd hardly ever think that I'd win a burger-eating contest. Of course, there's this other matter of how most food-eating contests are biased against people who eat slowly and are invariably centered around who consumes the most food in a stipulated [...]
Why Spoons?
I have recently switched over to eating idly and vada with hands instead of with a spoon. This has been done for some general cheap thrills, until and unless there are extreme case scenarios where I am unable to wash my hands, which case spoon usage is the only way out. But whenever I see people eat idli-vada, I notice that they always use spoons [...]
A Restaurant With Defined Entry and Exit Weight Criteria
New York City restaurants have recently become health conscious and have begun listing calories of each food item along with its price in the menu. This is to make people think twice before they chow down grub to their hearts' contents. This is also an attempt to prevent people from over-eating and also to ensure that the overall health of the [...]
Darshini Food Fundas
Being an ardent Darshini visitor on a regular basis, I am prompted to make an observation about one of the practices that they have, which has had me quite baffled. This post can be better understood if one is to read Skimpy's posts tagged food, specially the ones that talk about these vegetarian self-serving hotels which serve as standing [...]
The Proverbial Dilemmas of Solo Existence
Well, this post is not as fancy or introspective as the title might suggest - it merely comprises of a few random thoughts that are running around in my head regarding my lifestyle, which I have felt the need to pen down. I live alone and comfortably in a small and compact, albeit cozy 1BHK (bedroom | hall | kitchen, for those uninitiated in [...]
The day the music came back to life
Tony Fadell is a God. An absolute God.Most of us might not really know who he is, but trust me, we have a lot to thank him for.Next in line is a gentleman named Jonathan Ive. He is a God too, made one because of Tony Fadell.I guess at this point in time, if you've been irritated enough for my not having elaborated their virtues, you're probably [...]
