Paraphernalia: November 2011
http://thecosmicharmony.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. I think it's about time I had a blog. Blog, so I'm going to donate a substantial portion of the next 1000 words or so to blogging. The Real Engineering Projekt ™. Brought home a few uncomfortable truths though:. 2) I might as well live with approval addiction because I didn't really get reimbursed for all the midnight whale oil I burnt. Just a pat on the back, a 'Good Job' and I was happy as a stray dog at midnight. In my defence, going back as an alumnus was cathartic. (I c...

Paraphernalia: Clutter
http://thecosmicharmony.blogspot.com/2012/02/clutter.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Dear Most People I Know, here’s a friendly bit of advice,. Such a thing as having lots and lots of things around, and yet being neat, orderly and not cluttered at all. Such a thing as a nearly bare room that’s messy as hell. To borrow a phraseology from MySQL (you know – the thing to do with database. S - those fictitious objects that are jam packed with stuff, and are yet orderly and all that), Quantity Clutter. 8216;OK, so what exactly do you think is dirty about my room?

Paraphernalia: June 2011
http://thecosmicharmony.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. It occurred to me, while in the midst of a fascinating adventure in a foreign land - I won't go into the details, if you know about it, you know about it. That I'm really good at something. Something that's not one of the many talents that that desperately vain corner of my brain has catalogued for future reference. Small talk. Here I am talking wittily on the charms of bus journeys when I feel the need to bring in some irrational metaphor about the Platonian cave. It's hard bei...

Paraphernalia: Humour Me Back!
http://thecosmicharmony.blogspot.com/2012/01/humour-me-back.html
Tuesday, January 10, 2012. It’s funny how being funny has become so hard. Humour’s easy when you don’t have a conscience. A homophobic comment here, a racist remark there, a sexist jibe here and you’re done. The odd anecdotes about fat people and too-narrow aeroplane seats won’t ever go amiss either. There’ll be people judging you, certainly, and people hating you if you take this route, but there won’t. Be people not sniggering. You can think of, and you’ll have got yourself an audience, and one i...

Paraphernalia: Vertiginous Stuff
http://thecosmicharmony.blogspot.com/2012/04/vertiginous-stuff.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. Things, dear readers, have been mildly interesting the last couple of months. Stuff’s been happening. For starters, our very own favourite uber-cool auto-AC city has decided to turn itself off just to spite us. I knew we’d jinx it eventually, what with our continual boasts and preening and strutting about how you have absolutely no idea. Anyway, flying’s one part of what’s been interesting lately. The other part involves climbing. Recently, I found myself, agai...Look up when that...

Paraphernalia: August 2011

Sunday, August 28, 2011. How Not To Make A Point. Here’s the article. I originally tried to critique without falling over, blubbering, in an apoplexy of rage. In the process though, I quickly realized that I, as a fair exponent of Making-A-Point™ without a double barrelled shotgun to back me up, I, who have honed my craft in the minefield of intellectualism. This post is about the fine art of debating. What follows is a not very definitive list of the ways in which you should not. No, of course not.

Paraphernalia: In Defence of the Sout Indian 'H'
http://thecosmicharmony.blogspot.com/2013/09/in-defence-of-sout-indian-h.html
Thursday, September 19, 2013. In Defence of the Sout Indian 'H'. It’s been forever since I posted something on this blog, so, naturally, it makes sense that my comeback post is one of such earth-shattering significance. Yes, I’ve always wondered if the amount of bile, spit, venom and other inimical bodily fluids flung in the direction of Sout Indians by way of mockery for our choice to use those H’s with the T’s in our overly holy names, was rather disproportionate. So if you write ‘Bharat’, ...Have a le...
