Mysore Rock Fest Day 2
After my previous post on the fact that every band needs a sound engineer, I decided to check out the second day of the Mysore Rock fest which was being held at Purple Haze here. Firstly, hats off to Anbumani Ramadoss for his smoking rule. The two pubs I've been to since the ban came into effect at the start of this month have provided good [...]
Every Band Needs a Sound Engineer
Every band, big or small needs a sound engineer. This painfully obvious fact struck me like a thunderbolt (ok, I am exaggerating. It sort of just came to mind arbitly) when I was at a pub gig in Mysore. For those unaware - yes, Mysore has pubs. Shocking but true. Sadly, it is going the Bangalore way, and while the ban on live music in places [...]
The “Rock On” Roast
Now that the entire hoopla about 'Rock On' has finally died down, I thought it is time to resurrect it again and engage in a roast dedicated to the movie. As defined in the wiki page that I hope you haven't been lazy enough not to click on, a Roast refers to the opportunity to make uninhibited fun and this is precisely what I am about to do. [...]
LOL Speak v/s Tech Speak
With the popularization of the infectiously absurd but funny internet meme, the LOL Cats, LOL speak is now among the in-things in the present day pop culture lingo, in line with 'RESTECP' as said by Sacha Baron Cohen in 'Ali G InDaHouse' and 'All your base are belong to us', from the Jap game 'Zero-Wing'. I confess to cheaply conforming to LOL [...]

What you see right now is the end result of something that happened circa January 2007, when my ex-flatmate Sankar (a formerly regular reader of all the nonsense I used to spew, but now ruined by a punishing B school schedule) got me an advance birthday present in the form of my own domain name. Not [...]

Citizen Matters Author Page The list below is not exhaustive, and will be updated as and when more stuff is published. Article on Sunday Jams in Bangalore - Music lovers of Bangalore may miss their monthly dose of original music in earnest, unless the Sunday Jammers get back their 'Music Strip' in Cubbon park and are allowed to tune in [...]
Notes about Nothing – Work Anniversaries
Its official now, I've spent more time outside college than I did within it. Not that I attended too many classes and all that, but I guess I've been a Corporate Ho longer than I was an undergrad student. Four years have passed since I graduated from being a dorky engineering graduate to a dorky engineer who had to earn his living. This [...]
Avial at Independence Rock
Avial is a band whose music I have recently fallen in love with, despite not understanding their lyrics. I wish I knew enough Malayalam to comprehend what Anand Raj Benjamin Paul is singing, but regretfully, I have to be content with listening to his amazing voice belt out songs such as 'Nada Nada', 'Karakura' and 'Njaan Aara' (which I know means [...]
