Anticipation

Posted on 29 Oct 2011 under Random

(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 [...]


I don’t have a title for this, so I’m randomly writing a sentence here

Posted on 20 Oct 2011 under Random

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 [...]


I’d 8 2 be an Arsenil Fan

Posted on 29 Aug 2011 under Random

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 [...]


A Cynic and Pessimist

Posted on 23 Aug 2011 under Random

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 [...]


The Window Seat

Posted on 04 Aug 2011 under Random

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 [...]


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 [...]
