Romance

Posted on 31 Jul 2011 under Random

Maybe I’ve grown so used to being by myself and with the idea that my most romantic moments have been spent in solitude that my definition of romance has blurred. I find a starry night sky romantic. I’d like to lie under it, with just the stars above me…no buildings, no artificial lights around. I [...]

Grown Up

Posted on 26 Jul 2011 under Random

Today’s post is very much like what this old XKCD comic is about: I think that when you move out and start to live on your own, you’re expected to grow up, grow mature. Become older. So far, that’s not happened with me. I find that living on my own has given me more freedom [...]

Face Plus

Posted on 15 Jul 2011 under Random

It’s coming. I can feel it from a distance. Like all fads, this one is rumbling in the near distance. The only problem is, this big, bad wolf is backed by Google, and has the potential to blow down the brick walls of my defences. Google Plus. Yet another social networking portal. I’ve already started [...]

A Few Random Musical Musings

Posted on 21 Jun 2011 under Random

The new Apache RTR ad uses The Dark Knight original soundtrack in the background. I wonder if they took permission from Hans Zimmer & Co. before using that music. Because if they didn’t, it’s copyright infringement. But I don’t think Zimmer’s going to find out. In fact, I wonder how many people will actually even [...]

Nine Hundred and Ninety-two

Posted on 19 May 2011 under Random, Rants, XLRI

Warning: This post contains a generous helping of ramble. 992. I clicked on my name on Facebook and looked at the left side of the webpage. 992 ‘friends’. Just 8 away from 1,000. One thousand friends… Holy crap! I have a lot of friends who have more than a thousand friends on facebook. But seriously…think [...]

Obsessive Compulsive about MP3

Posted on 05 May 2011 under Random, XLRI

While in XLRI, Gadre and I used to try to figure out what others used to obsess about. And just for fun, we used to call it everyone’s personal OCD. A couple of lecturers, for instance, were “OCD about time” (i.e. ensuring that their class began and ended at exactly the right time, down to [...]

Going Underground

Posted on 19 Apr 2011 under Random

People will let you down, someday, in their own way. Because people are humans (most of them), and the underlying characteristic of humans is that we are imperfect. These imperfections cause mistakes. Mistakes lead to hurt, anger, disappointment. This is just the way things are. You can thank me now for stating an obvious conclusion [...]

Sinking In

Posted on 10 Apr 2011 under Random

Whenever something big happens in my life, I normally take some time before reacting. It takes a while for things to “sink in”, so to speak. I’m not sure why this is. Sometimes, it can take days, like when my time at XLRI was coming to an end. A lot of times, when something happens, [...]

A Good Day for Sports

Posted on 03 Apr 2011 under Random

A few years ago, I was watching the Brazilian Grand Prix on TV, knowing that Felipe Massa had an outside chance of winning the Drivers’ Championship. I watched it from start to end, with every twist of fate pounding in my heart. I watched the last lap with bated breath. As Massa crossed the line [...]
