And I was transported …

Apr. 5th | Posted by 0 comments
Our family dinners are generally boring … we have a selection of a couple of places we generally go to – and as no one is particularly fond of experimenting with their food, that too is generally from a tried and tested selection. Anyways, the incidents which took place today were far from the usual [...]

Sweltering Summer Heat …

Mar. 28th | Posted by 3 comments
It’s that time of the year again – Summer. Some years ago, while back in school, summers would bring with them unlimited joy and would be regarded as “My favourite season” in the so many essays we’ve had to write on the topic back then. More than bringing with them longer days (the sun sets [...]

Why do we Indians have to suck at providing quality service?

Mar. 19th | Posted by 2 comments
I have always realised, that we in India – don’t give a damn about quality. I don’t exactly know why, but I am guessing it has something to do with the demand always exceeding the supply – considering, we’re bursting at our seams with the large population. So, as long as the goods keep coming, [...]

Awesome upsets …

I woke up today, to the news that India lost to Bangladesh in their Cricket World Cup opening match by 5 wickets. For those who do not follow cricket very much, or don’t see the magnitude of the situation, here is a brief comparison. Bangladesh is a small country to the north east of India [...]

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God’s providence he was catch’d With [...]

We had our final practical exams today – which went relatively well. The external examiner, apart from being a jovial fellow, turned out to be pretty much entertaining also … Anyways, I did finish my program (assignment we are supposed to code in 3 hours) well before time and was left musing on some issues, [...]

Reports from a Bank …

Feb. 10th | Posted by 1 comments
I don’t know how many people will agree with me, but ICICI banks, generally, suck ! All the money they spend on the Amitabh Bachan ads and the stupid “Bharosa hai” campaign could be put to better use, buying some sense for the people running the bank. My dad and grandfather both have an account [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
