The Geek speaks. or rather types! Thursday, November 6, 2014. We all had our own reasons for being there at that point of time - Kedia. And I to watch live tennis, Baheti. Had missed a train (or two) to join friends on another trip, and Kitty. Could think of no other city that would give her more joy than the one we were in. We were the first to get back to the dingy apartment deep inside a suburban locality rife with class divides and unorganised crime, with Kitty. Expand your horizons."). Was just not ...

The Geek speaks. or rather types! Sunday, December 22, 2013. The Pursuit of Happiness. Literature, cinema, art, music and all such forms of entertainment have one thing in common – they’ve created abstract concepts out of ostensibly simple-sounding words like love, friendship, hatred. Take, for example, the case of an arbitrary lady, say, Lata. Soon enough, to be financially independent, to buy her parents a lovely anniversary gift, to occasionally splurge on a fancy three-course meal – and all tha...

The Geek speaks. or rather types! Wednesday, January 28, 2015. After an early winter sunset, our cab screamed past Gurgaon's towers and South Delhi's wide boulevards, hurtling through the capital's northern part's patchwork roads before emerging onto the smooth National Highway - 1. Kilometres of shimmering dew-covered fields and highway motels were covered in a few hundred seconds. I couldn't wait for a warm bed and the promise of a night's sleep far, far away from Kolkata. I hate this place. A week of ...

The Geek speaks. or rather types! Sunday, May 3, 2015. I spent almost six months listening to Coldplay's The Hardest Part. Daily that year. Being the lunatic romantic that I was then, I didn't deem it just coincidental that I first heard its opening lines the night of the call. 8230; And the hardest part - was letting go, not taking part. Twas the hardest part. The patch of hair dyed blonde above his forehead lent one man the stubborn, if not imaginative, nickname Blaundie. My funnily long full name, and...

Usually puts paid to the hope of doing anything substantial until last-minute panic. A pocketful of gold? PS : Do NOT...

The Geek speaks. or rather types! Sunday, December 21, 2014. The End of Nothingness. Nihilanth is a part-Latin, part-Sanskrit word meaning "The end of nothingness". And I in team no. 3 had no choice but to metaphorically bite our fingernails and literally chew off the skin around them as our bated breath turned us blue. We found out later team no. 1 on the far right, with Nene. Among them, were the only others who realised the importance of that pounce. Missing out on qualifying for the Sports Quiz rankl...

http://thenameissushi.blogspot.com/2009/11/kauwagiri-101.html
Friday, November 6, 2009. Will be declared a global holiday soon.

I say ‘discovery’ because Kauwagiri. Instead of Nephritiri right? 8217; and the derived verb ‘ kauwagiri. 8217; An example of a historic kauwa. Salute’ (the way to greet a fellow kauwa. Ought to...
