If there’s one universal truth that all bloggers will accept, it’s this: we’re all comment whores. All bloggers love receiving feedback on their posts, and these come mostly in the form of comments. If you offered a passionate blogger a choice between getting a steady stream of comments on all his blog posts on one [...]

Prince of Persia has been one of those games I’ve been waiting to play since I saw the trailers and watched the video review on Gamespot. Actually, it’s been a game I’ve been waiting eagerly to play since I heard of it as a successor to the Sands of Time trilogy I’ve written about so [...]

I have 2 things to blog about today. I watched ‘3 Idiots’ last night, and I finished the 2008 video-game, ‘Prince of Persia’ as well. I intend to do reviews of both, in separate posts. As ‘3 Idiots’ is the latest topic on everyone’s lips, I’ll start with that.
Since I’m a weirdo who likes doing [...]

Anybody who has ever claimed to be a fan of the beautiful game called football will admit, either willingly or grudgingly, that Thierry Henry is one of the modern legends of the game. Having built a reputation for being a prolific, clinical and amazingly gifted striker at Arsenal FC (England), Henry has had a wonderful [...]

I was reading an article which appeared in the newspaper a few days ago, about how there are now a million Indian bloggers. I’m not sure how they arrived at this statistic, but I reckon it roughly translates to about 1 in every 100 people having a blog. Not too bad a statistic, considering that [...]

Anybody who’s ever played video games should probably have heard of this title. The original “Prince of Persia” game, released in the late 1980’s set a benchmark for video games. Like I’ve said multiple times, the primary reason some games are memorable is that they focus on all the right things, and at the top [...]

Orkut changed their colour today! And, the new colour is… ((hold your breath))… BORING WHITE*!… Well, at least the layout now looks much neater, organized and fresh**.
This leaves me wondering (ok, seriously, no it doesn’t, but “leaves me wondering” is a nice phrase to use) whether the change in the look is going to change [...]

What, really, is so special about the coming/starting of a new calendar year? It’s just another second’s worth of the earth’s rotation, and then your digital watch switches from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 (and of course, the date changes). Apart from that, it’s all just the same. You wake up the next morning a little later [...]

The JNTU (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University) has just woken up to the inadequacies of purely technical education in the modern multi-national corporate world. No longer are you guaranteed an excellent job solely by passing out of college with excellent academic statistics. Corporations no longer want untappable potential/genius, they want efficient people who can contribute quickly [...]
