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 [...]

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 [...]

For the last couple of months (almost), I’ve been living along at home with my sister, while mum’s been in Kenya with dad. She’s coming back early on Tuesday morning, and I absolutely cannot wait for her to return. You hear a lot about how motherhood and running a house is harder than it looks. [...]

Every coin has two sides. I don’t know how many times I’ve used this statement in debates, essays and posts in general. It’s really rather true, isn’t it? No matter what situation, person, thing or circumstance you look at, it’s always interesting to find the other side of the coin. So, I was chatting with [...]

I’ve been playing Fallout 3 lately; it’s probably the first RPG that I’ve played seriously. I mean, I’ve tried World of Warcraft, but I much preferred Counter-Strike and other shooters. However, there’s something to be said about Fallout 3. The fact that it makes me want to reconsider my decision to stay away from RPG [...]

Most of us are at least aware, if not outright concerned, about the kind of people we are. We strive to be good, to live up to at least our own, if not others’, expectations of a good-natured person. Every now and then, life presents us with choices that make you wonder what you should [...]

Welcome to the jungle, for the jungle lies not outside the boundaries of civilization, but within. Let me start this post by first wishing Happy Sankranti/Pongal to everyone who celebrates it, and my sincerest hope that you all wake up with not too much of a hangover tomorrow morning. And now, with that out of [...]
