Blood Donation Fundaes
I have donated blood thrice over the past three years, for very specific reasons. Although I am not someone who personally endorses Corporate Social Responsibility fulfilling drives for various social causes, simply because the only intent with which most companies indulge in CSR activities is to get more media mileage and appeal to the [...]
At World’s End
The end of the world is upon us. Most definitely so. Things are all going awry, and nothing is making sense anymore. I put one search on facebook for 'Elisha Cuthbert', the hottest woman alive, and all I found after some stupid fan page created was a whole set of users with the names - 'Ankit Dixit', 'Zubby Raja', 'Rabbi Kalra' and so on and so [...]

This has always been dedicated arbit post and rant space, and frankly, the investments involved in putting up posts on this haven't always been been significant or noteworthy enough. However, Al Jaljira has been around for longer, and is the space on which I make dedicated posts only on occasion when I [...]
Headgear Rants (Helmets and Bandanas)
What is the deal with junta wearing bandanas on their head before they put their helmet on? I have tried to find some relevant reason for this action, but from where I stand and perceive things, this whole setup reeks ominously of herd mentality. Someone saw someone wear a bandana or a piece of cloth on their head before putting on their [...]

A study of my sitemeter statistics have shown that my most popular post is the one that has the keyword 'Mysore Mallika' in it, and even doofuses from the British Telecom proxy server have been googling it to try and locate it.I'm from Mysore, and I wish to inform you that THERE [...]
