Staying ‘Out of’ Home
Even though my journey as a techie has reached its last mile, and I'm serving my notice period, some things will never change. A glorious four and a half years at the place I've been working at has taught me many a lesson, and provided me with enough fodder and material to even write a complete book out of. Sadly, time are not there, failing [...]
Wanted : Psychedelic-Coloured Pyjamas
So we're already into January 4th 2009. The first four days of this year have turned out to be so full of office work that I've left the motorbike in the parking lot and taken a cab to head back home instead, for it is too dark, too late and too dangerous to head out on a motorbike at the unGodly times that I exit from the office. Why not my [...]
Absent-Minded Bike Rider
After having posted enough and more about my bike riding forays, and having cycled through all the bylanes of Bangalore and having visited every place except Whitefield and Majestic on it during the time I have placed my bum on its saddle, I finally took the plunge to ride the bike to my office. I've worked for a month or so towards ensuring [...]
“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 [...]
Movie of the Century: Deshdrohi
What Gunda was to the 20th Century, Kamaal R Khan (henceforth referred to as KRK) starrer Deshdrohi promises to be for the 21st. Gunda has had such tremendous fan following, and has had among the highest ratings that a Hindi movie could've ever had on IMDB for it incorporated all possible genres that one could think of into an intense three [...]
Make Laziness Official
If you're human, you'd have been affected by laziness, and this overwhelming feeling of inertia would have prompted you to not do anything that you are / were supposed to, or to procrastinate until such time that the feeling disappears. It is perfectly normal to be lazy, but somehow it is not looked upon as a desirable trait when you're a [...]
Bicycling Adventures : The Maiden Ride
While there has been extensive stuff written about how my bicycling journey started (linked a couple of posts below), and how the current events related to cycling have unfolded over the eyar, the middle years in engineering college where cycling became an important part of my life needs to be written about (for it is filled with anecdotes [...]
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 [...]
