The Lord of the Things...: Ek Main Aur Ek Tu
http://arvindc.blogspot.com/2011/05/ek-main-aur-ek-tu.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. I was recently talking to a friend who was convinced she had found someone who was 'The One' for her. Enter lazy, cliched Matrix pun here]. I see this concept of 'The One' in popular culture as a highly Western concept. Made super-ironic by the fact that so many people there who remarry in the course of their lifetimes. I guess it's not so much 'The One' as 'The One at the Moment, until a better One comes along.'. The One That Got Away. The One I Really Really.

The Lord of the Things...: I'm a twit
http://arvindc.blogspot.com/2010/12/im-twit.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. So after months of fighting my inherent anti-technology and anti-social nature, I'm on Twitter. Though how I’ll adapt to 140 characters, I d. Dammit, it’s going to be tough going for a verbose chap like me. I anticipate quite a challenge fitting everything I want to say and/or shar. Ah, screw it. @arvindcac, for anyone who cares. (Is that how one uses the ‘@’? Of course, I was worried about you too. December 21, 2010 2:44 PM. January 09, 2011 2:04 AM. Where in the world?

Monday, April 05, 2010. Is one of the most interesting guys I know. He's extremely well read and informed, has immense personal drive and ambition, displays an inspiring capacity for hard work, faces the world with admirably stoic calm and humours all the madness and insanity the rest of us throw at him. Some time ago, he put up a list on his blog, here. His ten year travel plan. Aargh, I hate myself for not being more planned and making a serious move on this list. Oh hell, marriage - if/when it happens...

The Lord of the Things...: July 2011
http://arvindc.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 02, 2011. What is the world coming to? I'm sitting in the verandah at my grandmother's house, immersed in my laptop as I try to get some work done. Coffee on my right, music in my ears, smartphone on my left. The neighbour's kids drop by, inquisitively checking me out as young kids are wont to do. The boy is ten, the girl five. We share a shy hello, wide smiles and not much more, given the language barrier (they speak Kannada, I don't). And that's when they see my mobile phone.

Monday, November 21, 2011. He ran a loving hand over his stubble, contemplating his time-honoured rule: no shaving on vacations and weekends. Social events were no exception. And yet, there was a chance he might meet her. In fact, on second thought, it was highly likely that she would be there. She of the flawless skin, that heavenly hair, that cute little nose and that incredible smile that lit up her luminous eyes. She of the litling voice, that magical laugh, that soft touch. And, suddenly, there she ...
