A vine/creeper just outside my door. Nothing spectacular so far, eh?
A closer look.
Blogworthy? Maybe. There are three there: hairless with yellowish beaks that are always open and chirping.
Nice sewing job, eh? Unfortunately, the leaf is fragile and one will now have to be careful while opening the door. Stupid sparrow, nonetheless. Will leave extra bajra […]
Just a few hours to go now for the World Cup to begin. I don’t know about you, but I find the hype rather stifling, and a little irritating. I quite like the previews and the info on the various teams, but going and asking just about every celebrity who they think will win is […]
You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to […]
“Here be articles on poverty, environment and development. The owner of this blog, a journalist by trade, is not very sure how india is doing. He knows that the country is growing fast, but is less sure about the kind of development this growth is translating into. He tunes into the media and gets one […]
I’ve always had a close crop (see this and this. And this is my Alter Ego, an anti-portrait with short hair). At times, people have inquired about whether or not my hair actually grows. My half-bald homeopath in Pune once recommended (unsolicited) a medicine for hair growth, following which I recommended a barber to him. […]
I’ve been off blogging, mailing and going for events for the last fortnight (apart from a few ‘blips’: the META Fest and one evening at the not so Great Indian Rock where I met Shekhar, HDHD and a few of HDHD’s forgetful friends).
After a full quarter of not doing much work and just flitting from […]
…is the number of strangers who’ve told me in the last three days that they’ve seen me before. And my face isn’t even up on hoardings (yet :P). Do I have a look-alike?
The same had happened at Jebbit’s book launch at The Corner Bookstore in CP, where someone from Indian Ocean had said the same […]
Snob value was the tagline on my schools sweatshirts. I found it rather stupid and thought it lacked creativity. Because I’m a different kind of snob…
You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every
book ever published. You are a fountain of
endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and
never fail to impress at a party.
What people love: You can answer […]
In the first room that I enter, a barely perceptible smell of smoke still lingers. You can sense it, briefly, when you walk in from the breezy terrace. A few seconds later, it’s gone. The walls are a deep shade of brown, but for a few jagged lines of white that stretch downwards from the […]
I have a phobia of addictions, and like I did exactly a year ago when I was in Bombay, I’m taking a fortnight off from blogging. A review of the year gone by, before I leave.
Academics/College
Probably the most satisfying year of my life, academically. Ended with a 4.0 GPA, and straight A’s; it’s a record […]
