Bangalore Palace Grounds Concerts – A Survival Guide
I recently had a chance to attend a press conference that formally announced that Metallica would be playing in Gurgaon at the end of next month as part of the F1 Rocks extravaganza. The press conference was sort of redundant because pretty much everyone I know has already picked up their tickets for the show and will be attending it either in [...]
Back in Bangalore, Back to Bedlam
I'm sitting comfortably in the living room of my new apartment in JP Nagar phase 2 in Bangalore as I type this blog post. It is raining and the diffused light makes it look like twilight outside, instead of in the middle of the afternoon. I had lived in Bangalore until 31st March 2009, following which, I had lived in Hyderabad and in Gurgaon. [...]
Hari at a Harijan Basti
Today, for the second time in my life, I participated in a company driven CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiative. My first one, in January, was related to taking under-privileged children to a railway museum and hanging out with them throughout the day and taking them on a guided tour of the museum, answering their questions, making sure [...]
Blank Slate
An eventful weekend saw the as-yet-unnamed band in Gurgaon that I am part of, along with two other classmates from B-school and a super tech-savvy doctor getting together on sunday evening to sit and work on songs. We've got material that is interesting and we're trying both approaches - make words and put in music and make music with an idea for [...]
The Story of the Lost Boarding Pass

I am sitting at the Hyderabad airport and mooching off on the Tata Indicom free wi-fi to fondly recollect yet another airport adventure. Every trip to an airport seems to bring with [...]
2010: The year that was – Part 1
I'd written a post at the start of last year to document personal milestones / accomplishments / fun things that took place in my life in 2009 and when I look back on it, I realize that the content in that post brings back memories of times that have been relegated to the back of my head, primarily due to other, more immediate things that seem to [...]
Earthquake Times
Early on Wednesday morning at about 2 AM, I was up watching season 2 of Californication and it was one of those episodes, like every other episode where David Duchovny's character was busy bonking someone. As soon as he began his bonking activities, the bed I was lying in started quivering slightly, despite my not having moved an inch. For a [...]
Don’t Run Over a Donkey!
Single serving conversations (a term I picked up from the movie, 'Fight Club') can be highly entertaining. You have no past record of having had an interaction and very little chance of a future conversation. Everything is in the moment and that, on some level keeps you guarded in some ways and also gives you ample opportunity to be more open. [...]
