Durga Puja @ Pilani

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: a review
I am indeed late, in producing this post, since Harsh, Avada Kedavra, and Shankar have already comprehensibly reviewed this movie. But ... better late, than never ... so here I go:As a book, the Half Blood Prince never really impressed me, compared t...
an evening to remember ...
I love live concerts. They are just awesome, and mind boggling ... and too ripping an experience to actually put it down in words. The feeling that grips your mind when you hear the thuds of a bass drum, or the amazing tremolo from an electric guitar...

Now before I start writing this one, let me extend the hearty kudos to my blog for managing to attract 1000 unique visitors, and nearly 2200 page views. *CLAP CLAP*(Got this great idea from Roshmi who begins each post by ... er ... updating her reade...
an unsolved mystery
*Names have been changed to prevent a possible civil war :) *Seriously ... I mean whenever I turn on my telly what catches my eye in the-not-exactly-right-manner is the series of ads newly started by Hog-licks (You know what I refer to right?). After...
a change in battle plans ...
OK, so a lot of things have happened regarding my college plans since i produced my last post on this matter ... for one, I won't go to IIT because I was allotted a pathetic course ... Agricultural Enggn, which I would rather die than study ... :( Wh...
so close no matter how far ...
couldn't be much more from the heart...forever trusting who we are...and nothing else matters...call it James Hetfield's visionary powers, or call it sheer coincidence, but these four lines indeed sum up the state of minds of the thousands of swelter...
the BIPASA problem
sometimes ... well just sometimes, during one of those long and frequent fits of wramblingz that I suffer from, I feel that the calendar is one of the most important things in our lives. You look at it from any angle, and very faithfully, it does wha...
a mis-conception about the Indian cricket Team
...well nearly a mis-conception should be the word ... but thing is the Indian Cricket Team is in a rather peculiar state now. All the TV channels are shouting their throats and possibly their satellites hoarse that 'Yeh Cup Kahi Nahi Jayega', and th...

In ways, more than one, I represent a typical Indian student. Like a good boy, I studied for my boards, passed them, appeared in competitive examinations, and have scraped through a few of them ... but NEVER EVER have I taken an examination like th...
Cyclone Aila and UFOs
Finally, when it seemed that Calcutta existed only to make her citizens sweat, boil, and swelter, in came the rains, with all their rage, fury and dramatic recklessness to wreak havoc on the heat wave. And how!25th May 2009 will be a day to be rememb...
now what's more ironic?
WOW ... you're gonna love this one. I am a pretty hardcore IPL fan, and was also a hardcore KKR fan when season 1 kicked off. I felt really elevated after seeing Brendon McCullum's 158* knock on the first match last year, but then all hopes got ext...

There's this supplement which comes every week with The Economic Times, called Brand Equity. From the reader's point of view, it's a rather entertaining supplement. One of the several goodies it carries within its pages, is list of ads which are good...
Formula 1 - no more a driver's sport
Even a few years ago, the sport called Formula 1, was fast losing in appeal, owing to the activity of one particular individual who goes by the name of Michael Schumacher. Genius as he was, as far as driving was concerned he (quite unintentionally) ...
