Passionate people,

Enormous history,

Brilliant food,

Oh and yes a 5-letter country name starting with an I

Karthik wouldn’t have called Karthik…

Am a tad late. Actually really late. But I happened to see KCK yesterday with some friends. I thought it might be interesting to put down why a R wouldn’t call a R (and if done by K then as per the title of this post…) [...]

You begin to read a book and want to rush to the end. You are watching a movie and wish you could FF all the boring part/songs. You are watching sports/matches and sometimes wouldn’t mind just catching the highlights. You intend to give an exam and want to skip the prep effort. You are talking [...]

the gaana bajaana on Pune’s radiowaves..

Tweet

“Ass… ass… ass…. ass…. Superhits 93.5” goes one of the FM radio channels in Pune… until sometime back, this terribly sad jingle played EVERY 5 minutes on this particular radio station… Jingle apart, the station has a hilarious group of RJ’s – including one who has a neither-here-nor-there voice [a voice that hasn't cracked as [...]

The world’s best CHAOS

Tweet

To go on to visualize a successful chaos, lets begin with Singapore of all places!! Singapore, as most of us are aware, is amongst the most disciplined, organized and well-governed city-states in the world. You can’t get away with littering or breaking rules.

Once again, the day began with the compère extraordinaire [:)]. However, she ended up repeating precisely what she said the previous day [...]

the eclipse summit.. din kramaank ek…

as the last line in the previous post said, the summit posts are being continued! :)
so, wake early – we did and set out. on asking the highly-dignified concierge [with funny gloves!], we were given the suggestion to take a rick or preferably walk down, since the venue was barely a km away. we were [...]

eclipse [the non astronomy one]…

Tweet

this last week a small village in bihar – targena – garnered a lot of interest all of a sudden… firangs with their fancy photographic instruments, astronomers with their study and scientific material and behind all of them, running late, our government babus scurrying to provide facilities to all… the village which apparently did [...]

eventually… ! :)

after an infinite number of “Oh yes, I am going to start my blog soon”, I finally created one and in the process found some use for the site as well [or at least I think so! :)]…
some small things about me – i was born and brought up in Pune… i pretty much have [...]
