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 [...]
Dorky Guffaw’s Local ‘Training’
Dorky Guffaw was about to die a horrible death.Or so he thought. Standing there within the compartment of a slow local train bound from Thane towards CST, he was supposed to get off the train at Dadar. The train had just slowed down to a halt at the station, and the people within the crowded train were pushing and shoving each other in order to [...]
Traffic Fatwas!!
Edit: This post has been updated to include 5 fatwas instead of 4 that you might've read previously.

The Times They Are A’Changing

In the before (like in [...]

Dorky Guffaw and the Traffic Signal Misadventure

Dorky Guffaw and The PonyTale Tail
Dorky Guffaw is a superhero. He is a conventional superhero, in lieu of the fact that he does not conform to any of the stereotypes that you'd associate with every other superhero that you'd be aware of, who exists out there.Dorky Guffaw came into being, one fine ennui-filled afternoon, when a colleague of mine and I were engaged in arbit gtalk [...]
Copenhagen
Over lunch today, I overheard two chaps talking about this bridge that went under the sea and connected to cities in Europe. They were talking about how it looked so cool in the pic when it seemed to vanish into the sea, only to re-emerge on the other end. The bridge they were talking about is the ?resund bridge, that connects Copenhagen, Denmark [...]
