mercurialmoods: September 2008

Sunday, September 28, 2008. Celerity- the congenital love of man. I think it is intrinsic to human nature to love speed. I have a predilection for the word "celerity", but I also know I will not win any popularity votes by using that word, hence I will not use it again here :). Right from childhood, most of us have this fascination for speed. Fast trains, fast cars and later on, maybe fast girls! My point after all this is only that even as we continue to be enthralled by speed let us recognize that it i...

Basically...The funda is..: July 2015

Basically.The funda is. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Defending the "indefensible" : Why Ben Rothenberg has committed no sin in his article on body form in women's tennis. What worried me though, is the content in some of the articles wanting to take a stance against racism and sexism. They have only managed to reinforce the stereotypes. Take the example of this article. And worse, this reinforces the women and pink stereotype. How lovely! And then there is this article. Links to this post. I, the feelings.

Basically.The funda is. Sunday, July 28, 2013. Ship of Theseus, to sound snobbish, is a delightful intellectual exercise. Unlike what most mainstream reviewers (in this I mean those whose profession is built on the number of stars that they dish out) say, this movie is not just about an organ transplant changing the character of the individual, or not. It is about the frivolous nature of man’s concern for animals and reiterates the simple 6. Who are we to give ourselves that exalted position, when we are...

Basically.The funda is. Sunday, March 11, 2012. On most occasions when I write, there is one word I avoid : I. I kind of tend to associate I in writing with an oversized ego and not using it also seemed to suggest a more third person, more distant perspective to the happenings on. You never let your guard down, but this once, I am letting mine down. Thank you for all the memories, Rahul Dravid. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I, the feelings.

Sunday, July 05, 2009. Götterdämmerung- Twilight of the Gods. Was the phrase that kept coming to my mind as I watched the epic final between Federer and Roddick. Admittedly, I am taking liberties with the word and using it in a sense contradictory to the usual usage, but the literal translation really was fitting here. I really feel sorry for Roddick though. He played a great match, and almost. Or that Federer won. Federer edged past Roddick. Does not fit well either. Federer prevails at last. It has bee...

Sunday, March 09, 2008. A few days ago, while chatting with a friend of mine, we were talking about one of the modern gimmicks of regional politics-that of renaming places. Thinking about it at leisure, I realised that it is an issue that is far more complicated than I initially thought. Some of my views are biased by my perspective, of course, but it’s my blog after all, so I get to air them. Nevertheless, am sure you will find that my opinions do merit some thought. Maybe it was called something else e...

Basically.The funda is. Sunday, June 7, 2009. Four word : Very high PJ levels.). Gotcha, if you thought this was about the secret liaisons of a famed commentator made much more famous here. Gotcha again, if you thought this was about the escapades of a not so famous and not made famous anywhere yet, gentleman whose web avatar exists here. Besides, he is the Shastry with the y. (Shastry, hoping a return favor for this plug). I thought about it for a long time and then it struck me. Reason number two :.

mercurialmoods: Obituary: to a man remembered in death more than in life
http://mymercurialmoods.blogspot.com/2011/02/obituary-to-man-remembered-in-death.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. Obituary: to a man remembered in death more than in life. Dear Uncle Pai,. Buffoonery is a way of life, Tantri's. Plans to usurp Raja Hooja's. Throne are doomed to eternity, and there lies forever by the side of Shikari. The happenstance of serendipity. I owe to your Tinkle. And A mar Chitra Katha. The satisfied feeling I got as a kid at night when I lay in my bed before sleeping, reflecting on what plans might work for Tantri. Or tsk tsk or sigh. And I remembered it all today,...
