So I recently bought a second-hand motorcycle from a senior at a wonderfully knocked-down price. It’s perfect because though I’ve learnt how to ride, I don’t have much practice. An old bike is really perfect since if I fall off or something, a few scratches and dents would probably give the bike more personality than [...]

It’s getting hotter day by day. One of these days, I’m going to have to start taking a shower with cold water again. If that alone is not strong enough proof of the fact that summer is just around the bend, consider this. What word do you most strongly associate with “summer afternoons”?
Lazy.
Everybody has had [...]

Life and I more than occasionally share a hate-hate relationship. I’ve often said that life is a female dog. Really, though, it’s a roller-coaster ride with a crazed loon on drugs at the controls. Every once in a while, life surprises you by sending you a hell of a day, and I mean that in [...]

A couple of days back, I wrote about the annoyances of being a writer. I highlighted the frustration of not capturing an idea while you can and then losing out on a chance to write something breath-taking. But like everything in life, it has a flip-side. Being able to write well is something I’m extremely [...]

Go climb a terrace somewhere, when it’s dark, and look up at the sky and scream my lungs out at the sky, just for fun, just to know that I can. Then I want to lie under the stars, on a comfortable mattress, listening to music, turned off from life and everything else.
Not be here, [...]

My sister has recently stopped accepting my standard “nm” (nothing much/not much) to her “wots up?” when we chat. She’s forced me into actually saying what really is up. If you really think about it, a lot of times, “What’s up?” is a lot more than an easy way to start a conversation with someone. [...]

I have too much music.
My playlist, which contains just about every piece of music in my computer and runs on shuffle mode, has 6742 songs right now. It comes up to roughly 40 GB. It’s not a lot. I have heard of people who have 100’s of GB of music. So, my collection, while sizeable, [...]

It’s 10:50 am. I’m sitting in my room and listening to music from the soundtrack of the game Need for Speed: Underground on my Creative SBS A300 2.1 speaker system with sub-woofer. I’m quite relaxed because there’s no scary deadline in my face, my room-mate is asleep on his bed, and the room is nice [...]

Yesterday, I had to drive to college to collect my marks memo and provisional degree certificate. Since no one else from college was available, I had to drive alone. It’s 50 km away, and it generally takes a bit over an hour to get there. Guess what? It was one of the best drives I’ve [...]

I intended to post this post much sooner, so I apologise for the delay. And without further ado, we continue with our coverage of the XLRI sponsored Village Exposure Programme, July 2009. As I had said in my previous post, we were on our way to a village called Jamadoba near coal mine city of [...]
