I believe in God, but I also believe in the really old saying—”God helps those who help themselves”. A lot of times, I like to leave things to the Big Man (or Woman) up above, for things to happen as they will, because my world-view is that life is unpredictable, and life is a bitch. [...]

Years ago, Notepad was my favourite programme on Windows. I loved it. It was simple, and I loved how I could focus on the letters appearing before me in the monospaced, predictable manner as I typed them. I loved our old keyboard. It was gentle, and the keys made a very satisfying “tick-tack” when pressed. [...]

Luis Suarez gets charged by an official body for using racist language against Patrice Evra. Gus Poyet, manager of Brighton, calls Evra a “cry baby”. Really? A guy stands up against racism and this is what he gets? Poyet, you muppet! Sepp Blatter thinks racist insults during a game should be forgotten at the end [...]

There was once a boy who sang very well. His was gifted with the ability to hold on to a tune like a train holds on to its rails. His voice was like petrichor—like the smell of approaching rain, his young voice signalled a time in the not too distant future when his fully developed [...]

(This post is Part 2 of this post) I suppose I should have taken it as a sign that I had to actually consciously build up excitement before the show.

(Read Part 2 of this post) Back in early 2007, when I was going through the motions of 2nd year of engineering, a good friend (Aditya TB) found out that Iron Maiden was planning to perform in India. But you bet your life I was excited. A real rock show. I wanted to go. We [...]

Holy cow! A whole month since my last post. What a joke, haha! I remember how many posts I’ve written about being more regular with my blogging, and how many of those posts have come after extended periods of inactivity, just like this one. So, let’s just be honest. I’m not going to be more [...]

Ok, first…I admit I copied that line from Rio Ferdinand’s twitter (SHOCK HORROR!!). Second–holy crap, what a match! Third: Arsene Wenger apologises for United mauling Arsenal to offer fans free ticket — “The north London club confirmed that they would be offering to compensate the supporters who made the trip by paying for a ticket [...]

I was going to write a post about why I hate the world. It’s simple, actually. It all boils down to the fact that I’m cynical and a pessimist. I look at the dark side of everything and have belief in very little. We could explore the reasons for this character trait, but I’ll leave [...]

In one of the many flights I’ve taken recently, some sitting on the aisle seat next to me asked whether I’d done a web check-in to take the window seat. I smiled sheepishly and said yes. He smiled and said he always prefers the aisle seat, even though most people prefer the other. Sure, it [...]
