I believe Citizens are mostly of 5 kinds : (I am going to take a very Astoma Satgamaya (bad to good) kind of approach) 1. Those that are not in the system. People who are indifferent to governance. 2. Those that are in the system and realize there are problems. 3. Those that see these [...]
As strange as it may seem, this is very true. Be it physical intimacy or work! “What makes him come and bug us so much for the data?” That’s because we don’t give him the data. That excites him. That challenges him. All of us love challenges. If you were to make a pass at [...]
As soon as Abhimanyu Mithun took a hat-trick on his Ranji debut, comparisons started with that other Karnataka fast bowler who did the same – Javagal Srinath. However, given the way things are with his career now – dropped after a not-so-bad debut series in Sri Lanka, and following that up with an unspectacular Ranji [...]
There are two kinds of geeks – unidimensional geeks and multidimensional geeks. Unidimensional geeks thing multidimensional geeks aren’t geeky enough because they’re not as geeky as the unidimensional geeks in the dimension of the unidimensional geeks.

So given that the new missus has moved into my life, and my home (and to add some cheese “and my hort”), I think it is quite appropriate that she moves into this blog also. You might have already seen her first post, which she wrote this afternoon. You can expect her to be more [...]
Sri. (Something I write on top on the first page everytime I start writing in a new book. Its probably because of how the letter curves in Kannada) I’ve heard enough complaints about the deteriorating quality of this blog over the last one year and I simply couldn’t help not thinking about it. First of [...]
Scenes from these two movies were enacted out at our wedding. So in certain cultures (such as my wife’s; this isn’t practiced in my mother’s house at least) there is a uniform that brides need to wear – a white or off-white sari with a red border. I think this uniform is there in my [...]
So on Sunday we went to this temple on the outskirts of Bangalore where the in-laws performed Satyanarayana Pooja. There was a small number relatives there, and a large gang on unknown people (it was essentially a public function). It’s a nice temple, dedicated to Shiva, and built in the Kerala style.
