Its Plum Cake Time!
Tis the season to be jolly and all… Hope u fellas are having a good season this Winter.
Me and the roomies cut a plum cake at the stroke of midnight. One of them could only cut it but not partake in the actual consumption, since plum cakes are not eggless. He consoled himself by having […]
Love (2006)- The Beatles Review (Sorta)
Before delving into the subject of this post, first an aside…. Yes, I have failed and reneged on my initial promise to be more forthcoming with posts in my current avatar as a blogger. This post is dated a whole 7 months and 9 day after my previous rant. While blaming the pressures of […]
Why I dont like Rang De Basanti that much anymore
The title of this post implies that I once really liked RDB. Not far off the mark. I was impressed by the movie's vision, its technical excellence, its soundtrack and above all, the performances on show. I recommended it to one and all. Most of them concurred with my evaluation of the movie. The storyline […]

You can read all the synopsis on any news site….or switch on one of the numerous TV channels to hear one of those droning analysts who get plucked out of the ether whenever the […]
Freaky Economics and Why most soccer players are born in Jan, Feb and March
Ever since reading that cult book called ‘Freakonomics’ which everyone and his dog seems to know about,I have been an ardent fan of Steven Levitt’s peculiar brand of data analysis. (Not just me, as an aside, one of my female friends liked him so much that she said he’d make an ideal husband. When I […]
‘Saint’ Medha
With all the recent fuss about the Narmada dam and the 'sacrificial' antics of Medha Patkar and her celeb cohorts, the NBA is squarely in the public eye…and quite the darling of it too. It is anti-government, pro-poor and gives every armchair activist and TV channel a cause celebre.
Now that a bit of the dust […]
Yet another first post
If you have reached this page, it is definitely because I have prompted you to (or promised you material reward in return.) Yet another first post, on yet another blogging site…At last count, I had a few on Blogger, one on MSN and another on Yahoo 360. Maybe this time, I ll try and see […]
