Playing hardball …

Dec. 30th | Posted by 7 comments
I was going to let this post go, but now I am sort of compelled to write this piece. Yesterday, something very strange happened … there was a comment on my previous post about sponsorships and stuff, from a guy named saurabh. When I clicked on the name, I was taken to my own profile [...]

Sponsor hunting …

Dec. 27th | Posted by 2 comments
These vacations (if they qualify as vacations) have probably been the worse ever … Which I guess was pretty obvious after the disastrous exams that I gave before them … Anyways, we guys are having our inter collegiate festival in the last week of Jan – from the the 30th Jan to the 3rd of [...]

Engineering Colleges – The First Steps …

Dec. 19th | Posted by 3 comments
Okay, So now you’ve gotten your engineering admission and you have shelled out quite a large sum of your dad’s money as fee. Now what?

Torture on the airwaves …

Dec. 19th | Posted by 4 comments
  The Pakistani’s have developed a new torture technique. It’s guaranteed to get any information out, from any human being, or even otherwise. What they do is, they tap into Doordarshan signals broadcasted every Sunday night at 9:30 pm and tape this serial called “Kalakaarz”. Then they repeat the 30 min episode 6 times to [...]

The long march ahead …

Dec. 16th | Posted by 5 comments
As I stepped out of the corridors of the college, into the sunset and the open fields, the Gladiator Movie theme (the one with Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerald) started playing somewhere in the background. Was I imagining things? No. It was really playing. As my other fellow mates slowly trickled out outside, squinting their [...]

The Tata Safari Dicor Ads

Dec. 11th | Posted by 6 comments
I had posted sometime ago about the Indian Ad market reving up of late. You can read it here. Anyways, the TATA Safari Dicor ad is not doing the rounds as it was once ( or maybe I am not watching enough TV ) but I really needed the soundtrack for something. So, half an [...]

Politics and Religion

Dec. 2nd | Posted by 10 comments
I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how people – completely logical, sane people – make rules to govern the country based on some religion bias. If you think, this does not happen in India, you should just take a look around. Most of the things in our country are based on religion bias. [...]
