Of Writing and Travel and Travel Writing
There are many reasons why one would like to travel to a particular place. I can’t say for sure what motivates other people, but I am inspired to visit places that are on the cooler side (temperature-wise), that have rich history and culture, aren’t particularly crowded or over-run by the average ignoramus camera-toting, loud-mouthed [...]
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 [...]
Battle of the Gultland Bands
Turns out that my having written for RSJ for three years has given me enough street cred to be able to judge a music competition. I was asked to judge some music competition at the office for a bunch of campus recruits quite some time ago, and I assumed that I would be so bored out of my wits that I went there, armed with a Superman comic as a [...]
Rock Street Journal – My Column (April 2009)
I don’t know how many of you’ve noticed, but the pop music of the yesteryears is the muzak of today. It is quite surprising, but the gym I used to pretend to work out at had on its playlist so many pop songs I used to listen to when I was a kid, including that of boy bands, mentioning whose names within the pages of Rock Street Journal would [...]
