windows 7 – quirks, quips and quarks
So I finally moved to Windows 7 on one of the machines I use regularly. It wasn’t without its share of weird-ass issues – I don’t think any M$ OS can be without its quirks. Not issues/problems, mind you. Quirks. I will try to update...
i should just title this r.i.p. staying.cool
Among other things, the probability that random ideas pop into my head has dwindled down to zero. Which makes it a little hard to maintain a space that was somehow meant to ensure that I do not lose touch with writing. Now that I think about it, my b...
what is my super-power?
I’ve spoken more than once about my games while growing up. The cape on my shoulders: the flight, the jumping of buildings in a single bound. The vines: the jungles, the swinging and leaping through dense trees galore. The battle(s) with evil f...
why you should never buy an HP laptop of any kind ever
Once upon a time I bought a laptop. [I know that start is not as great as 'Many many years ago, on a galaxy far far away..' but you can pretend those words appear on the line above if they mean that much to you.] Anyway. A laptop. An HP dv2500t. Yes,...
keeping in the spirit of sporadically posting random updates for the sake of it
Yes, I know that’s a long title. Looooooooong. I appear to have run out of things to say on this site. Every day is like a new deadline. Its been 4 days since you last posted. Its been 5 days since you last posted. Its been 7 days since you had...
frustration, irritation and everything in between
Quoted from this article: James Otis, the owner of the Mahatma’s items, told PTI he plans to donate most of the money collected from the auction to “worthy causes” and institutions and groups working to promote Mahatma’s ideal...
26 is more…
…than just 2×13. And when I say that I don’t mean its actually ‘20+6′ or ‘30-4′.. but that 13 still seems to be only yesterday. And 26 is here, right now today. Already. …than what I expected. Some devel...
speeding past
another new year: one set of words to sum-up time past, another set of words to try and forecast what might happen in the year to come. past years have each had unique revelations (try as i might i cannot get that word right). i have felt alone, i ha...
changing india
it is now widely accepted that the “resilience” or the “spirit” that we have lauded so much in the past is a myth that most people have stopped believing in. people are angrier this time round, if anything, the attacks suppose...
age-old
having watched this, the question that i came up with is: what would you do if you discovered you were 14000 years old? [87 mins of sheer movie-enjoyment. to be taken with a huge dollop of imagination and open-mindedness. please.] more later....

becoming the king of the world
there are many ways in which one says they're the king of the world. reaching a world record. winning a world tournament. reaching a world no.1 spot. and many other things that have 'world' in the title. watching 2 men hunched over their arcade machi...
chrome-d: disappointing
the net is abuzz with the latest google move: google chrome. people are trying to figure out why ? what ? how ? i type this post from chrome, and i see: a combo of ie8 and firefox3. to go. with bits of safari and opera all thrown in. even this revie...

blowing up. and over.
india has been victim to a blast every 3 months for the last 2 years. the blasts are happening more frequently now, and more blasts have being threatened by those who have done it. my frustration continues. [...]...

heading home
i'm going home. again. after the longest gap that i've spent away from it. there was a chance this gap would have been even longer, but i'm glad that didn't happen. i didn't realize just how important, how epochal this trip was for me until i actuall...
another one goes by
this time, of course, celebrating the new year seems to be less important, and the fact that i'm home kinda kicks it in the balls. highlights and lowlights follow. [...]...
colour me wonder
colour me black, colour me white... ...never thought colours would be so right. somehow, i have always thought of myself as the fella who would appreciate black and white over colour. [...]...

Where do we go, nobody knows I've gotta say I'm on my way down God give me style and give me grace God put a smile upon my face sitting there with chris martin crooning, the piano chords striking something deep, deep within. all at once, the symphony...
writing overdose, and loving it
after a long time, a very long time… i’m writing enough to be thinking about it all the time. bar some randomly creative moments that don’t happen too often nowadays, my writing has gone for a slide. sure, i write here, but real cre...
moments to treasure, moments to forget
saying it sucks when it doesn’t, saying it doesn’t suck when it does, a smile for no reason, nearly meeting and nearly missing each other, a face lighting up, a face literally reflecting the fall in your mood, sitting in the balcony and w...
long live the ODI
..the ODI is dead. given the response to twenty20, not least because the subcontinent made it to the final, and a team of 1 billion won it, i say the ODI will die its natural death in roughly two years. coming on the heels of an india/pak match-up pr...
we won
funny that the team that crashed out the world cup a few months ago, has had a captain resign mid-season, no coach since the world cup debacle, and barely make it through an english summer of cricket is at the top of a points table. funnier that the...
bobble bubble bobble
i watched as the bubble detached itself from nothingness, and floated off into the space above me. watching it drift along, awaiting the point when it would explode. which would be all too soon, a tad disappointing, but very expected. it didn’t...
remember, remember
i remember walking down my street, across the road, around the garden, taking a random exit, turning, still walking, reaching the highway, finding my way across it, and walking along it all the way to the nearest signal. by the end of that walk, i ha...
