Verbatim

Thankfully, “cute” was not a word that came to mind when I saw Verbatim, a six minute short film by my friend Jugal. Watch the film here on YouTube, and to feel free to call the film cute in the comments…that should piss off Jugal. :D
It reminds me of a story I’d written, The Wish, […]

Free Passes For Jazz Utsav 2007

One for todays show - the event starts in an hour. Another, probably available tomorrow afternoon if I’m not better. What a time to catch a chill…so much to be done…gah!

The Weirdest Thing I’ve Ever Seen At A Conference - The Herman Miller Moment

Update:  “The Henry Miller Moment” is now a meme. I tag Shefaly, Jai, Amit, K and Annie: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen someone do at a conference?

Huh?

I thought mixedbag.in was down, since I haven’t been able to access it for two weeks now. Been a very very busy two weeks, so I wasn’t able to fix it. Sat down today to figure things out and - lo! the back-end is accessible.

This is going to be my barometer for all of Tata Indicoms services - because apart […]

The N95

First up: the battery life sucks…rather - the phone sucks the life out of the battery. It lasts around a day with regular usage, and if you’re using GPRS (as I am trying to do now), forgetaboutit. Barely lasts half a day. The N95 8GB is supposed to have better battery life, but for a […]

On Rick Rubin and the future of the music business

A couple of days ago, Shyam pointed out to me a well crafted article in the New York Times, romanticising Columbia’s appointing Rick Rubin for producing great music; it appears that he’s the savior for big music labels, that Columbia, in an act of desperation, isn’t playing the big bad music studio anymore, and Rubin […]
