Joel's blogistan: April 2012

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

April 25, 2012. Mumbai autos: the tariff guide. The fare card says that the minimum fare is Rs.12, and Rs. 7.5 for every km after. It basically translates that for very tick of the meter, the fare increases by Rs. 1.50. That in turn translates to a nice little formula you can use to calculate the fare of any auto-journey. Read on:. There are 4 digits in the meter. Separate the first 2 digits and the last 2 digits, with a decimal point, e.g. 1020 means 10.20. Subtract 3 e.g. 153 - 3 = 150. April 21, 2012.

Joel's blogistan: October 2010

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

October 12, 2010. The tragedies of a BEST bus commuter. It has been quite a period of time since I have been using the BEST bus service for my work commute. It will be quite a period of time I keep using the BEST as it is the best and shortest way to get from Dahisar to Powai. While the experience until now has been bittersweet, it is more bitter than sweet. I think I'll better sum it up nicely rather than rant on and on and never reach the end of it.

Joel's blogistan: May 2010

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

May 2, 2010. Why ask for sunshine? Why ask for rain? I awoke this morning with a strange thought (strange enough to be a morning thought! The last 7 years of my life have been spent learning tech! My mind raced back to the moment I chose to take up Science with IT as a vocational subject in Bhavan's College. That was way way back in June 2003. And then, I thought about the moment I stepped into St. Francis Institute of Technology to become an IT engineer. What was I thinking? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Joel's blogistan: July 2010

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

July 18, 2010. Watch Inception with a brain or two. These are the things that make the movie intellectually irresistible - just like The Matrix. And that's why it's a must watch. Watch it seriously with a bunch of non-nuthead friends and you will be talking about it for a while after. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Forts and Palaces of Rajasthan- Chittorgarh Fort-Rajasthan-India! You like my furry hood? I feel I may be overdressed for the desert. Just over a year ago. Watch Inception with a brain or two.

Joel's blogistan: October 2009

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

October 9, 2009. Mohammad Rafi's 'Meri Mehbooba' remixed. This is an audio clip that I recorded about a month ago when I was on my way to Mumbai Central on a Churchgate-bound slow local from Borivli. I was listening away on my T10. When this 'band' of three came along. Their loud 'music' added to the general noise and rendered my T10 useless as I could not hear a single note through my earphones. That is when I decided to record a nice little sampling of Mumbai local 'music' using the T10.

Joel's blogistan: August 2010

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

August 29, 2010. 84 things not to do in Mumbai. Here's a hilarious email I received today. Some of the points are matter-of-fact and serious, but it is those matter-of-fact yet hilarious points that got me going. This is some serious advice for localites and non-localites alike. 1 Get into a Virar train if you are going to Borivali. 2 Take a Taxi outside Dadar or Kurla station - all are chors. 3 Eat Bhel at Kailash Parbat. 4 Call a cop Pandu. 5 Argue with a Koli Fisherwoman. 18 Hang outside the train, Po...

Joel's blogistan: New York and Mumbai

http://joelmathias.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-york-and-mumbai.html

November 22, 2012. New York and Mumbai. We visited New York the other day and when we reached Times Square (this is where I witnessed the most number of people in one same place inside the US, although Andheri station in peak hours easily beats this crowd), my friend said, "This feels like Mumbai".
