In the Year 1996 2007-12-03 10:48:00 One of the smartest things i did, my entire life. I exchanged four free magazine CDs for one CD. Sounds weird? I exchanged them for the original version of Sid Meier's Civilization II! I remember playing that game the time i got it for straight 10 hours. It took me 7 days to finish the first game, and I managed to lose it in the most royal way. I was playing as the Indians with the Gandhi as the King. Well, I eventually managed to make him the President under a democracy. But by then, I was already routed from all sides by the Spanish and Americans. I had a pretty good run building some cities like Karachi and Lahore that were part of the Indian civilization. The Americans captured Delhi in the year 1976. What do you think happened next? Civil war! The Indian civilization was split, one which was still under Gandhi's control and the other controlled by the Persians. Which cities fell under the Persians? I was really not amused to see Lahore, Karachi and Chittagong gone from my t

The Other Side 2008-03-11 13:14:54 We have been called a lot of names of late. There is an old school of thought we are so full off; the other person is always WRONG! Its hard at times to even see from the other perspective. Shit happens at times but one has to really look into what could have been the [...]

A few roses…with love 2008-02-15 14:07:35 When was it ever mentioned that Valentine’s Day leads to immorality? Why are the fanatics so hell bent on destroying on the one day that means no harm, but actually spreads some love around? I have over the years read news reports on how; couples were besmeared with cow dung, beaten up and in some [...]
Tiger, tiger, Burning Bright… 2008-02-12 01:03:49 I’ll always remember reading books of jungle lore by Kenneth Anderson as a kid. The vivid portrayals of the jungles of south India were a treat to read. While most of this stories and musings were about hunting tiger
s (mostly man eaters), there were many that dealt with panthers, rogue elephants and even bears. What [...] Read more:Burning

One is not enough: Counter View 2008-02-10 00:38:41
Vivek, a kannadiga by heart and on of my best pals. We’ve been hostel mates for four years and at the end of the term was voted Ms. Universe for his contribution to ‘womankind’. A sweet guy, with views of his own and powerful ones at that. This kiddo packs a punch! This is a [...] Read more:Counter
Funny Love 2008-02-08 14:25:56 Say Hello to ‘Lovestruck’! One of my best pals and someone whom I have known for the past 8 years. Yes, we lost touch for some 5 years in between.

Unethical business (non)sense! 2008-02-08 13:35:51 Dr. Amit Kumar/Dr. Horror. The name runs a chill down your spine. I recently saw the movie Turistas and how a doctor not only dissected the body alive but took all body parts that could be of any use including the skin for transplants. Gross, you will say. But we can’t discount the fact that [...]
One is not enough 2008-02-07 12:18:35 I wrote this out of disgust and was published on IBN Live. An excerpt from it. Click on the link to read more.
Raj Thackeray seems to have opened up a pandora’s box. Comments on Big B were uncalled for to say the least. For a progressive state like Maharashtra, this does not go down too [...]
Letting go 2008-02-05 12:52:30 There comes a time in everyone’s life when one needs to let go of things and leave them to fate. Whatever happens is not of your concern anymore. But there are somethings that are so hard to let go, its not funny. All the years of toil and effort you put in, you don’t know [...] Read more:Letting

Recently, I came across RSS Hugger. Recently launched perhaps a few days back, it presently has some 260 feeds.
Some of the interesting features include, Top 100 feeds, most [...]

These advertisements also sell 2007-11-18 03:51:00 Currently running on all TV networks. Advertisements have changed over the years. They have become more meaningful and aim to connect to the consumer. I remember ads, that aired some years back. Most of them focused on features. Ads later started focusing on the benefits and the value associated with them.
A new trend has started [...]
For Maadarc**d 2007-11-14 15:04:00 Four years of engineering life, and the same four years in hostel. The best of my life, undoubtedly. I have seen friends come and go.

A Tribute to Salesmen 2007-11-05 03:18:00 Salesmen are a big problem to their bosses, customers and wives, to credit managers, hotels, and sometimes to each other. Individually and collectively they are cursed and discussed in sales meetings, conventions, behind closed doors, in bar rooms and under one’s breath from many angles, and with much fervor.
They make more noise and [...]
