Back home and all that jazz
I know I'm back home now, and I'm supposed to write some enlightened, inward-looking, gyaan-sharing post here about how great it is to be back home and how my stay in the US has made me grow into a more mature (hah!) person blah blah blah. I'm not going to do any of that. I'm just going to share two blog posts that come from people I follow on ( Read more... ) -
La la la
Yes yes, I know. Long time, no see. You see, when one has a super-fast Internet connection, one spends it more on streaming TV shows and downloading movies and whatnot, rather than writing blog posts. Or one spends most of one's time TA-ing for the poor undergrad sods here, and missing home, and not writing at all. It's funny how working overtime ( Read more... ) -

It wasn't a very fun departure from what has been home for 21 years. Delhi. Never had left it for a very long time, never been too far away to lose touch with the very earthiness of the place.

I am losing my sanity. It is quite possible, nay, probable, that if nothing changes in the next few days, this might be the last cogent post in this journal. -
Vacationery happened!
I'm back after a great, much-needed holiday in Sattal!
So this was for this thing called the Carnival of e-Creativity (CeC) 2010, which had people working in electronic arts from all over India and the world coming together to present their work. Met some amazingly talented and intelligent people there (although a couple of them did turn out to be ( Read more... ) -
Random thoughts
Hello peepulz!!!
Yeah, sorry about that (it's probably the result of a lethal combination an all-pervading zonky insantiy and a general feeling of being high ALL the time nowadays). Anyway, so I have been neglecting this poor lil' (awww...) LJ of mine for quite a while now, and starving it of any decent pieces of writing - about me or otherwise. Put ( Read more... ) -

More randomness
I have finally run into someone who is equally likely to use the word 'smorgasbord' in regular conversation as he is to use the Hindi word 'dwandwa'. At NSIT, too (although not by normal standards). Is it any wonder then that we get along amazingly well? -
Sheer randomness
Do houses/schools/ have personality? Do they imbibe some parts of the personalities of their various inhabitants? It would surely explain why old mansions are not only quaint, but have this certain aura of majesty and serenity about them. And if it is indeed so, does that influence the character of their later residents? If I lived in what was once ( Read more... )
