Da Black Mamba: 11/2006
http://dablackmamba.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Random thoughts . on a small planet. Thursday, November 30, 2006. Rarely do I continue to love a copy. After seeing the original. But what are rules worth, if you don't break them? Dheemi Dheemi from 1947 Earth. Is among my favourite songs made in Hindi cinema. I have so been in love with the raw tenderness (and Hariharan's voice, Rahman's music, Nuttgen's camera, Nandita and Rahul's innocent romance that oozes from the screen, oh, everything). For linking to Baawra Mann. From Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi).

Random thoughts . on a small planet. Thursday, April 19, 2007. April 16, 2007. This post is not about the deadliest mass shooting. In American History, the Virginia Tech Massacre. Instead this is about how we are affected by incidents like these and worse. Why some gain more importance in the media, while the others languish in the unseen corners of our psyche? Is this a bias? Or is it just that we have accepted that we are wired to be more concerned about. As a child, when I watched movies set in Europe...

Random thoughts . on a small planet. Thursday, June 29, 2006. At under $150, you can buy it today. Many have compared it to the OLPC project's $100 laptop. And fairly so. Both independently try to close the digital divide. The spec for those who are interested is here. A demo at CeBIT 2006. This reminds me of the very first computer I ever used (when the number of years I had spent on this planet was still a single digit (decimal! Number). The dB Spectrum. Posted by The Black Mamba.

Random thoughts . on a small planet. Thursday, August 24, 2006. The God of the Dead is Dead[1]. After 76 years as a planet, Pluto has been demoted. Given that it takes the "drawf planet" 248.5 earth-years to make one circle of the sun. It has only been a full planet for about one-fourth of a year - one season? Now it will be the long winter of its discontent. The god of the dead and the ruler of the underworld. 2]the Unfinished, sent before his time into this breathing world, scarce half made up. 3] Inci...

Dreaming of Zihuatanejo: October 2005
http://booksmovieslife.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 28, 2005. Making up for lost time. Ah, the last week end of October. A special time, when children dress up as the monsters they are. And scare the bejudas out of people, as they do from the moment they are born. As special as Halloween is, I love this time of the year for a more mundane reason. This weekend, time becomes time again. Not the pretend stuff we put up with during the other. Seven months of the year. Soon, we're to have this fake time for eight. And since I'm not exactly over...

Dreaming of Zihuatanejo: September 2005
http://booksmovieslife.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2005. Lembas Bread for the next year. We're a society under siege, at the mercy of tykes and teens. Every where you turn, you're confronted by yet another instance of someone bending over backwards to cater to children. Or "Convert to Buddhism. The Dalai Lama swears by meditation" or "Are you sure you're in pain? Maybe it's all in your head (no pun intended).". B) Drinking of Flu medicine: See above. D) Watching movies: Dukes of Hazzard. No more need be said. The children might hear!
