(The following are pictures taken during the Jaipur trip, taken with a Nokia 6600. Click on images to enlarge. Yes, they aren’t too clear, nor are they too large. So buy me a digital camera, what?)
Interesting title. Taken at a small bookshop outside Midway restaurant, en route to Jaipur. Among the daily activities shown is […]
“The East India Company’s Guidebook to India had a chapter on Getting an Indian Girlfriend” - William Dalrymple, Author of White Mughals, not explaining the How to.
“I want to hold in me the heat of my combustion” - Vivek Narayanan, poet. (This was a part of one of his poems)
“The Internet is becoming like the […]
The gig at SRCC began half an hour earlier than expected, at around 7:10. I arrived at the venue, hoping that there was some way I could get in without passes. Thankfully, none were needed and I walked in past the food-and-games circus into the ground. Them Clones began with Zephyretta, one of my favourite […]
Youth Nexus was most convenient - a 15 min drive from home, through Delhi University. At first sighting, the police grounds seemed almost too spacious and were sparse populated. The place was virtually a circus: Food stalls, Bunjee Jumping and an oversized ball that one could sit it and people would roll you around - […]
It was ironic, really.
“Killing in the name of” by Rage Against The Machine has a line “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” that repeats over and over again. At the Numero Uno Rock Out, day before yesterday, Prithwish of Them Clones told the rather large group of rockers headbanging in front of […]
Day 3 should have begun in a manner similar to Day 2 � wait outside for friends, hand over passes, thank Shivangi (RSJ) on the way in, stand in staircase and wait for doors to open, rush and sit once doors open. And, of course, the show was supposed to begin late, which is where […]
Day Two was supposed to begin at 6, and so I arrived early at 5:45. They let us into the premises shortly after six, and then took nearly half an hour to let people into the stalls. The wait, the standing in line on the stairs, was monotonous and irritating. I don�t quite know what […]
I’d been waiting for the Jazz Utsav for about a month and after all that running around for tickets, which I finally got from RSJ (thanks again Shivangi), I was in a this-better-be-worth-it mood. It was.
Jazz isn’t the kind of music I’d sit down and pay attention to. Blues, yes, but sometimes. It’s much the […]
“Hey…dude. You gotta listen to these guys.”
“Yeah? They’re good?”
I get one of those are-you-nuts stares.
Another from the group that’s come down from Cal (or is it Kol?) shakes his head. “They’re the most amazing band in the world”
“What do they play, then?”
“You wan’t to hear music? You gotta hear these guys. Just see the difference […]
I wonder what they had in mind when Cafe Coffee Day decided to sponsor the Kingfisher Rocktoberfest. Looks like it someone in the marketing department who looked at his (or her, for you politically correct nitpickers) budgets and said - Hey, our expenditure on promotion is X amount short of what’s been budgeted, so let’s […]
