A Novel Way to Punish Traffic Offenders
Enough and more has been said by me about the traffic offenders of Bangalore city. I've been very unrealistic in the past, and have prescribed capital punishment in the form of public execution on certain occasions at traffic signals for people who commit grave offences. But now, after some significant introspection, I realize that the [...]
And the Lay-Offs Begin……
In case you weren't yet aware, the recession has hit the IT industry. Pretty badly. Forget all the sugar-coating fundaes that Dr.Manmohan Singh has given us about how things are bad but will get better. If global trends are any indication, lay-offs will, like every other trend perpetuated by our western civilizations, hit Indian shores [...]
Welcome!!!
Welcome to the all new Hari Shenoy dot com. 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.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Warning: Post is slightly lengthy, as it is quite descriptive of a particular incident that took place over the weekend, and required some additional details to be given.

Notes about Nothing – Work Anniversaries

Four years have passed since I graduated from being a dorky engineering graduate to a dorky engineer who had to earn his living. This [...]
Social Experiments on Techies
Having seen the Dark Knight for the second time with Kodhi at PVR, I was thinking about the concept of social experimenting on techies to see how many of them get off their high horses if they're given enough incentive to do the same. I am targetting techies because I like making fun of myself. There, I just absolved myself from all vitriol [...]
Schadenfraude towards Rule-Breakers
While it is ingrained within our moral fibre to play the role of the good samaritan in case one notices people in distress, especially when they have been part of a grevious accident and require emergency medical treatment, I am facing a serious moral dilemma with regard to how one should approach the situation when rule-breakers are subject to [...]
Bangalore Rocks!!!
Bangalore rocks! Totally and absolutely. Although Mysore will always be city no.1 so far as I am concerned for the rest of my life, I've grown to love Bangalore so much more after a weekend trip to Chennai. Three days in Chennai on band related work and within twelve hours of landing there, I was pining away for Bangalore and its [...]
