Recently, I have had a decent amount of time to think about life, universe and everything else. Over the past couple of years, plenty of stuff has happened around me which has finally brought me down to this realisation. Please note that this applies to me and me only (though it may also apply to [...]

Feb. 28th | Posted by 0 comments
I was invited today to give a talk at SITM (which stands for Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management). The college is situated at the Symbiosis International University campus at Lavale, Pune which is a very picturesque location (set on the top of a hill) on the way to Lavasa. Though approach roads and some other [...]

This post is a result of a proper experiment. I have a Microsoft wireless mouse which eats battery juice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I used to use Everready (Gimme red) batteries which would die pretty often and soon. So I decided to do a little experiment. I bought EverReady batteries for the mouse and [...]

2009 promises to be an awesome year for the movies. Now only if the crappy multiplex strike, producers strike, IPL matches get over quickly, we could have real entertainment back on again. My pick of movies for this year are: 1. Watchmen I can hear most people going – WHAT? But sad as it may [...]

Network, 1976: “We’re in a lot of trouble! Because you people, and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3% of you people read books. Because less than 15% of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there [...]

The Value of Life …

After a lot of thought and deliberation and musings, I have concluded that: “The value of a life is directly proportional to the number of people it touches in a good way and inversely proportional to the number of people it touches in a negative way.” When you are gone, the summation of the loss [...]

Parking hassles

Jan. 8th | Posted by 3 comments
I have off late started judging businesses depending on their parking policies. No seriously! If you see some of the extreme arm-twisting techniques and prices some of these malls use, it’s unbelievable. Firstly, charging for parking is illegal (I think) and yet everyone does it! But if you think about it, we Indians being the [...]

I’m not sure how late I am to learn about this – but just found out about this feature on IMDB which gives you exhaustive details about the demographics of users that voted for a particular title. Being a movie and a stats junkie, this is just too freakin’ brilliant for me :D Do check [...]

Notes from an Indian Diwali …

Oct. 29th | Posted by 5 comments
It’s 12:20 AM and people are still out having a gala time bursting fire crackers – even though the guidelines set by the commissioner of police said it should be done by 10 PM max. But what can you do? We’re a democracy right? In India, I have learnt this the hard way – you [...]
