This is my 50th post on this blog. Thank you all for your support and love! Keep reading! :) Google is up to it again with it’s tricks of truth. As with the Justin Bieber and puberty thing, Google always knows not just the answers, but they are also good enough to make sure to…
Towards the end of the last century, the world suddenly went abuzz with the talk of a new, fantastic, futuristic invention centered around computers that would apparently shape the future of the human civilization. Nobody knows how it started in India, but by 1997 “Information Technology” was for sure only the second biggest trending topic…
(NOTE: 1. Read the entire thing before outraging and shouting abuses. 2. This is not an outright pro/anti post, just trying to drill down the facts of what is going on. 3. I am not a supporter of any party and no one asked me to write this.) All over India, people are outraging against…
Kerala’s great KSRTC saga continues unabated. For the past three decades, the beloved people’s transportation corporation has been lurching from crisis to crisis, mostly of the financial nature, facing problems in everything from over staffing to buying diesel and spare parts to paying pensions and salaries. The present problem relates to pensions. There are thousands…
Goldfinger was the third Bond movie and a landmark one at that, considered the best of the series by many. The movie is my personal favorite too, the first one I have ever watched. Bond had matured and Connery’s Bond defined James Bond as we would know him. The movie as a whole set the…
Yesterday, India’s uncrowned king of bubblegum literature, Chetan Bhagat, decided to celebrate Father’s Day by recycling an old locker room joke about child custody and a Coke vending machine. Minutes after the tweet was published, all hell broke loose and a shitstorm of outrage ensued on Twitter with all kinds of people, trolls, bots and…
(So it was over, rain played spoilsport :( Don’t be sad, there will be more chances!) Metalheads, rejoice! After what seems ages, finally India’s rock capital will finally witness a *real* rocking concert! Brit Symphonic Metal act Cradle of Filth, have announced they will perform live at Palace Grounds, Bangalore, India on Saturday, the 23rd…
…Continued from Part -1 Ring-Ring-Ring-Ring!! The music/loan-sale/importance reminder routine came to an abrupt end. The sound of the phone ringing at the other end, the fruit of all my hard work, rudely shook me out of my reverie on how I would accomplish the second and more treacherous part of my mission. The machine had been won over, now…
The 20th movie in the Bond series, the fourth and final one to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional English (MI6) secret agent. A landmark movie as it was the last in it’s current running timeline for the past 40 years. Bond goes rogue defying M to find who had sabotaged his mission and landed…
On October 06 2014 Flipkart has shaken up the country and its systems with its mega e-commercequake, the #BigBillionDaySale, whose aftershocks are still being felt. A lot has been said and written about this. Here I add mine to the heap, a holistic overview of the entire thing. At 0800 hours on October 06 2014, like…
The general contempt and hate the so-called new-generation upwardly mobile, MNC-employed, high-flying, English-speaking, car-driving, snobby, westernized self-appointed hypocritical middle-class Indians (but who are in reality the elite 2% of the Indian society; like for instance, Bangalore’s IT-coolie crowd) have towards public transport is well-known. It is explicitly visible on many levels and platforms, from casual office banter…
There are some things that cannot be missed. For some people it is the first day first show of a movie, for some, it is the launch event of a new gadget, or a game of their favorite sports teams, a daily TV program and for some, it is the exact log-in time at office. For me…
