“Geographies” and “Based Out Of”
Ever since I joined work four years ago, I've heard the following two expressions being used in a manner that I find weird / counter-intuitive compared to how I'd heard them being used conventionally on previous occasions. The first one is the usage of the term 'Geography' as a noun to refer to a particular region of the world. I'd remained [...]
Wanted : LOL Code Developers
It was a fateful day sometime in the early part of this year when Tharunya sent me a link to this popular internet meme called the LOLcats. I found it quite absurdly funny, and thereafter, forwarded the link from this meme to a few of my friends, who, I was certain hadn't seen it before.

Another Definition of Irony
Uploading resume onto a job search portal, only to see one's unofficial ID being bombarded by the very company which you would possibly like to escape from, if circumstances and the future place of work are propituous enough for one's liking. Dammit, woe is me.
How’s it going?
Being anti-social is cool. To a very large extent. The realms of anti-social behaviour entitle me to come up with snappy answers to polite bullshit conversation, and make sure that those who try and make random chit-chat are kept at bay. I don't want to answer people with stuff like - 'hey, how are you?' or 'did you have your lunch?' or [...]
