Death to All (Zionist) Juice
So I saw this on someone's google reader shared items (most likely that of Mohit's) but figured it had to get on my website nevertheless. It is indeed a serious concern in these grave times that hardcore fundamentalist radicals are calling for the death of all juice. Mercifully, they added the Zionist word later on, in brackets, but it doesn't [...]
Down with JD(S)
On Monday evening, according to what I heard on Radio Indigo, Bangalore experienced its worst ever traffic jam, thanks to the JD(S) 'general body' meeting taking place in Palace Grounds. People were stranded for hours, and many missed out on their flights. That evening, I had to head to Total Mall on Hosur Road for a farewell treat, and I was [...]
And the Lay-Offs Begin……
In case you weren't yet aware, the recession has hit the IT industry. Pretty badly. Forget all the sugar-coating fundaes that Dr.Manmohan Singh has given us about how things are bad but will get better. If global trends are any indication, lay-offs will, like every other trend perpetuated by our western civilizations, hit Indian shores [...]
Bicycling Adventures : The Maiden Ride

Obama v/s McCain
I was greeted this morning with the newspaper headline on Deccan Chronicle saying (and I paraphrase) 'Omaba might create history', and it went on to say how opinion polls strongly indicate that he is pitted to be the next US President. There were similar opinion polls and premature celebrations that had taken place eight years ago, when a [...]
Counter-Intuitive Nicknames
Ever since I was able to, I have given people around me nicknames. Most of them have been funny and non-offensive, and have had a decent shelf-life. The only one, which I thought was quite funny, which almost had me killed was 'bird flu'. At the height of the virus scare, the person who was given said nickname didn't share my enthusiasm or my [...]
License to Parent
Just when you thought the License Raj which was a characteristic of post-Independence, pre-liberalization India was a thing of the past, Bangalore city seems to be engulfed in a flurry of license related issues. With new government regulations put into place that have banned live performances in places serving alcohol, smoking within enclosed [...]
Cubicle Neighbours
As cubicle neighbours come, this one is as peculiar as they get. There is someone who sits in my proximity at the office who has a dialogue from a Gult (Telugu, for those woefully uninitiated) movie as his cell phone ringtone, complete with background music and all. The ring tone begins with some female talking in a flirtatious voice, followed by [...]
