My dear Jean, Paalu, it has been two years since that fateful day. And somehow, somewhere, I, we have still not come to terms that you have left us forever. We, I, miss you and your ever smiling face and silly jokes more than ever. While you will live on in our hearts forever, do…
(This post was written when the original ridiculous name was announced, long before the team was renamed “Kochi Tuskers Kerala”. This was the most widely read post on my blog, and hope it has contributed something towards the name getting changed :)) Some things are just bound to fail. Ever since its inception, the Kochi IPL team has…
The blazing sun. The clear blue sky. Fighter jets screaming through the air. Roar of afterburners hitting you like a hammer on your chest. Air acrobats drawing loops and hearts with plumes of smoke against the backdrop of a perfectly blue sky. Gleaming new-gen civilian and military aircraft glinting off the sun on the tarmac. Thousands cheering…
As we all know by now, Nokia and Microsoft have announced a new partnership, apparently to take on Apple and Google (Android). But what is not known is that they have already planned for new products. highly placed sources (who are on Banana Corporation’s payroll *evil laugh*!) say that the new phone will be incredibly smart, doing…
We all know that the answer to the ultimate question is 42. But if you are a Malayali (Mallu for short) this answer will not be enough.

It happened again. Apple dumps its stock of soon-to-be-obsolete iPads in India a full year after its launch in the US market, confirming yet again that for them, India is just a dumping ground for obsolete iProducts, lowest on their radar and they are totally so not interested in the booming Indian telecom and IT market where other global giants are hungrily…
Bollywood these days seems to be delivering more bombs than US drones manage to drop on Afghanistan. (The suits who run Bollywood must be wondering why even getting Akshay Kumar wear yellow rimmed glasses does not cut it anymore). It won’t be long before they decide to go back to the seemingly easier route: Remake…
When it comes to customer service, it looks like telecom companies in India are on a race to outdo each other in mediocrity. The less said about the call centers the better. Add to that billing errors, ‘document submission’ for ‘security purposes’ once every 3 months, non-receipt of payments, and total stupidity – calls asking us to purchase “one more…
This is not a review for the movie ‘The Social Network’. Enough accolades and adjectives have been doled out for the Movie, Facebook, Mark Zukerberg and etc. The movie itself was just above the ordinary as far as I am concerned, but all its pitfalls were eclipsed by the raw awesomeness of the story and portrayal on how the guy built up Facebook….
(Text in blue are links to other pages like Wikipedia explaining more about the highlighted text. (Not ads, never!) You may click on them, linked pages will open in new tabs/windows.

“Nothing is what it seems!” – Walter Burke (Al Pacino), The Recruit In the mediocre-at-best spook movie ‘The Recruit’, CIA chief trainer Water Burke (Al Pacino) kept reminding his new recruits that in the CIA, “Nothing is what it seems!” In other words, everything is an eyewash, what you see and what you have been told is…
