Weekends in the NCR
After moving out of home in 2004, Gurgaon is the third city that I have lived in after Bangalore and Hyderabad. In Bangalore, my weekend planning was initially governed by when I would leave the city to head to Mysore. When things settled in and I began discovering, exploring and understanding Bangalore, and eventually falling in love with the [...]
Wanted : Psychedelic-Coloured Pyjamas
So we're already into January 4th 2009. The first four days of this year have turned out to be so full of office work that I've left the motorbike in the parking lot and taken a cab to head back home instead, for it is too dark, too late and too dangerous to head out on a motorbike at the unGodly times that I exit from the office. Why not my [...]
The Wonderful World of Sargeant Thikanov
Before your mind goes off on random tangents, thinking of how I am writing fairytales surrounding the life and times of a mysteriously named Russian World War I soldier, stop. Thika, in Kannada, refers to one's gluteal region, a.k.a Kundi as do other more detailed graphic words that I'm not going to mention simply because I am not too keen on [...]
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 [...]
Drinking Theories
I have two theories on alcohol consumption that I wanted to blag about. I know neither will make it to a research paper, but then again, what else is my awesome blag for, aye? Drinking on a Sunday Evening: Most people tend to drink on Friday or Saturday evenings, once the working week has come to an end. Thereafter, uncontrolled alcohol [...]
A Jet Airways Anecdote
The recent firing and re-hiring of the 1900 Jet Airways employees, which makes Naresh Goyal look very much like a certain Mohammed bin-Tughlaq, has brought back memories of an arbit incident that took place slightly over two years ago, involving someone from Jet Airways. It was sometime in the first week of August 2006, when I was supposed to [...]
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 [...]
Notes about Nothing – Seattle Diary
Its been five months since I returned from Seattle, but somehow something or the other happens that invariably takes my mind back to my trip there. This is a post about some of those memory refreshing incidents that have happened since I got back. * Grey's Anatomy: My sister follows the serial, although I haven't seen more than ten minutes of [...]
