So, will you try this at home?

July 8, 2006 – 12:57 pm

The song - Thunder by AC/DC (thanks Shyam).
I think I’ll try this.
Immediately makes me think of The Tipping Point. YouTube, Google videos, the online videos space has created this craze. As this becomes more and more popular, more people will want to try it at home, maybe repeatedly. A chain reaction. The question […]

So what does the promo remind you of? Reminds me of Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, […]

This post is supposed to be a response to Annie’s post on the myth of merit at How the Other Half Lives. Bits of […]

Google Calendar

May 5, 2006 – 10:08 pm

In case you don’t face connectivity issues and have no problems being connected 24×7, you might like to give Google Calendar a shot. I like it a lot more than MS Outlook because it is, typical of Google - quick, doesn’t overload the PC, is easy to use and has great additional functions. You can […]

All about timing…

March 18, 2006 – 8:25 am

Anybody remember that NPower Cricket game that was a rage a few years ago?

All hail the Jabberwock!

January 15, 2006 – 6:45 pm

Jabberwock, rather Mr. Jai Arjun Singh, has won the Indibloggie for the Best Humanities Blog (heh). After a bloggers meet at DV8, I had sat down to write a review that I never did complete. It was a review written in jest, but who knows, this could be prophetic. O-)
You may skip to ‘What didn’t […]

On Bloggers’ Meets, Collablogs and more…

November 9, 2005 – 3:44 pm

“Despite tall claims, the city’s blogosphere is still inhabited by few, as the recently held Delhi Blog Meet revealed…”

It was one of the DBM-II’s meets that a reporter from TOI attended and wrote about in today’s city supplement. Though the article doesn’t mention a name, he has been identified as James by Tarun Pall, the […]
