I was there. I was there! I saw them live, in the flesh and heard them play, perform, in their own voice, and with their own instruments, all those songs that I had listened to all these years over and over a thousand times through lifeless mp3 files now full of vibrant life. I saw…
First impressions of the Bangalore Metro when it opened for the first time in 2011.
There is no such thing as customer service in India as we all know. All that goes on in this country under the guise of “providing services” is just a sham of organized ripping off of unsuspecting people of all their money under the guise of something or the other, and helped on by the…
Human stupidity in all it’s forms must be the most visible aspect around us in our daily life, and Common Sense the most absent. And incredibly, both of these come together when it comes to the usage public spaces. And Elevators (Lifts) rank high among said spaces. While being one of those inventions which made…
Indian Rupee is Ranjith‘s latest Malayalam offering, coming across as another one in the genre of “new age” films like Traffic, Salt N’ Pepper and Pranayam currently redefining Malayalam cinema with fresh stories of everyday lives of small-time real people. It almost looks like the “golden age” of Malayalam cinema of the late 80s and early…
The all in all of everything there has been, is there and ever will be in Indian Bubblegum literature has released his latest piece de resistance. Chetan Bhagat (CB) is <insert whatever you want here> because more than he merits has been said about him already. I did like his Five Point Someone and 2…

Right now, I am feeling incredibly overcome with this sense of overwhelming, stupendous, inexplicable feeling of utter insignificance, that numbing feeling of nothingness that makes you question the core your very existence and it’s validity on an astronomical and philosophical scale. What are we? Why do we think of us as “Masters of the Universe?”…
Facebook has pulled one over itself again! Well known for changing their page designs and systems more frequently than Yahoo changes CEOs, they have recently changed the Wall design leading to widespread uproar from users, maybe becuase as people usually do not like changes that disrupt their comfort zones. However, that was just the prelude….
Facebook is not just a great way to ogle over women in your friends’ friend lists, but is an awesome way to let the world know about stuff by sharing content and links from all over the web (and publicize your blogs, hehe :)) And Facebook has an awesome way of presenting these links on…
Compared to those who lived twenty years ago, us Indians of today are a pampered lot. For instance, anyone who wants to buy a car is spoiled for choice today. During those non-liberalized days when I was growing up, you couldn’t buy a car even if you had the money for there were only the…
India’s roads and driving culture are one for the books. You will be hard-pressed to find a place anywhere on earth where pure chaos and lawlessness prevails on the roads as so much as it does in India. Almost none of the rules that apply when driving a vehicle on public roads are followed here,…
