Revenge of Smith: January 2007

http://revengeofsmith.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 29, 2007. Thank You (a year in the life of a blog). Links to this post. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. To feel what I feel now, is to feel everything there is to feel in the world. Everything. Links to this post. More Bass on the Drum Monitor (The rambling saga of a mediocre band). Apologies for cross-posting from Riff Cafe. Base (ahem). I needed more bass on the monitors because the lead guitarist (apart from being a genuine maestro of the guitar) believed in the philosophy that rhythm g...

Revenge of Smith: January 2011

http://revengeofsmith.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 26, 2011. The last time I reviewed an Aamir Khan film, it was the first post on this blog. The film was Rang De Basanti, an over-the-top, uber-masala bollywood blockbuster that I enjoyed tremendously. If there is an antithesis to Rang De Basanti, it must be Dhobi Ghat. If I had to give a score I'd give this film 7.8/10. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Google believes I am a fish. I strongly refute that. View my complete profile. Arts and Letters Daily. The paper I read.

banal banter: August 2008

http://banal-banter.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 21, 2008. Go see my post on riffcafe. Http:/ riffcafe.blogspot.com/. Thursday, August 14, 2008. Had a conversation with the a friend today who remarked in a rather conversational manner how all of us were so interchangeable. Well you know who the "us" my friend is referring to don't you? Few cases) lets do each other or (as in most other cases) lets go get a drink and hang out. I agree most of the set may in fact be sad or discontent or angsty. Thursday, August 7, 2008. I had an older co...

Quotidian Quotes: April 2008

http://misspixiedust.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Alice In chains. In wonderland. Who the * * is Alice. Once upon a time there was her, who promised with fancy. She beheld wistful glimpses into the future resplendent with gaiety and promise. Yet, she rued her failing friendships from the past and nodded solemnly. 8216;One day we will leave. And you will be here and I will be there. It won’t be the same you know, and I cannot bear to think about that. I don’t know what I would do without you.’. What good really is nostalgia? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A man, A mind, and nothing else: December 2009

http://systemic-construction.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 11, 2009. A few things have happened close to each other that fueled my desire to write on the subject of identity. I happened to read (what I thought to be) an excellent collection of essays and writings on the subject of India by Shashi Tharoor (of Twitter fame) named 'The Elephant, The Tiger and The Cellphone', within which while speaking of Amartya Sen, quoted him as saying the following:. Strong, confident men and women often fall to pieces when the going gets tough. We're all w...

A man, A mind, and nothing else: September 2010

http://systemic-construction.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 01, 2010. Rant of the Month - Ep.1. I've decided to have a rant of the month, mostly because I love to rant and also because I love to poke fun at people. This is an idea that I've had for a while (taken from here. That I discussed with Sharmila as well; hopefully, we can rant about something together for the next one. So, this one's for September. As with most offensive things, it's a good idea to start with a caveat or two. I don't have a problem with all. To be fair, the American ...

A man, A mind, and nothing else: February 2010

http://systemic-construction.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 05, 2010. I happened to wish an acquaintance on their 23rd birthday today - participating in that Facebook ritual that has become the norm. Go to the Home page, look to the right, click the links, type out a hasty "Happy Birthday! Have a good one! And then move onto the next person on the list until you're done. Quite uncomplicated, and it saves me the usual trouble I have because I can't remember birthdays to save my life. Where did those four years go? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A man, A mind, and nothing else: July 2010

http://systemic-construction.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 16, 2010. And Here I Dreamt I was an Architect - The Decemberists. And here I dreamt I was a soldier. And I marched the streets of Birkenau. And I recall in spring. The perfume that the air would bring. To the indolent town. Where the barkers call the moon down. The carnival was ringing loudly now. And just to lay with you. There's nothing that I wouldn't do. Save lay my rifle down. And try one, and try two. Guess it always comes down to. And I am nothing of a builder. From the outside world.
