Weekends in the NCR
After moving out of home in 2004, Gurgaon is the third city that I have lived in after Bangalore and Hyderabad. In Bangalore, my weekend planning was initially governed by when I would leave the city to head to Mysore. When things settled in and I began discovering, exploring and understanding Bangalore, and eventually falling in love with the [...]
Notes About Nothing – The Gurgaon Chronicles Continued…
So I return yet again with a continuation of the 'Notes About Nothing' series, after spambots hogged my website bandwidth for the second month in a row. I was initially taken aback by the fact that I was getting 509-ed (getting a bandwidth exceeded error) despite having very poor traffic, but the use of some plug-ins will hopefully stem the [...]
2009: The Year That Was
2009 has been quite a year for me and when I am long gone and my great-great-grand kids want to read what I've written (yeah, your great-great-gramps is teh_pwnage!), they need to be shown how cool I was, even if it means writing something completely untrue and fabricated, as some part of this post might turn out to be. Having said that, most [...]
The Anegundi Chronicles – Footboard Travel and Beyond
Most of my friends who undertook a two year MBA program had a summer internship in between the end of their first year and the start of their second year. I know of people who've been to London, Singapore. Goa, Bombay, coastal Kerala (as if there is any other) and so on for their 'summers' as they're called in the two-year MBA world. My MBA is [...]
Sleepless in Guntakal – part 2
Part 2 - Of Greedy Eunuchs and Crazy Marwadi Co-passengers: My much deserved state of somnolence was rudely disturbed by the screaming and shouting of one of the fourteen people in the compartment. I thought someone had fallen off, and I woke up with a start, only to notice that this was how they woke each other up. I wish to dear God that [...]
Sleepless in Guntakal – part 1
Meeting the Co-passengers: Indian Railways has, for me, over the years become synonymous with adventures. If they would've introduced frequent train traveller cards with discount offers and such, I'd have been laughing all the way to the bank, or to wherever else these cards were valid. My travel along the Jaipur - Mysore Express via [...]
Exploring Mysore Like Never Before
At the end of last month, just before I moved out of Bangalore, I passed by Lalbagh umpteen times. I saw MTR near the Lalbagh West Gate and had this major pang of regret at not having been inside Lalbagh, ever eaten at MTR and done so many other things that are associated with anr are characteristic of the Bangalore experience. I am sure that a [...]
Introducing the Shri Ravana Sene
The Shri Ravan Sene is a new organization that was formed a few days ago, in response to the formation and rise to infamy of the Shri Rama Sene. ( The Shri Rama Sene had previously changed it's name to Shriram Nene, but have since reverted to their original name after nobody else except Pramod Mutalik and a certain idiot named Hari Shenoy found [...]
