Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Monday, 29 December 2014. What did you read in 2014? This is just for fun, and completely random, but I think we can get some interesting insights together. No, I can't track you and steal all your personal information (this is a Google Drive form, so maybe Google can), but if you prefer, you can take this poll in its own page, here.

zigzackly’s omnium-gatherum: Subtle sexism
https://zigzackly.blogspot.com/2015/02/subtle-sexism.html
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Sunday, 1 February 2015. Hello Genderlog fans :). I'm doing a stint behind the wheel at @genderlogindia. The topics I plan to focus on are women in the workplace in professions that on the surface seem to have a fair amount of gender balance, but which nevertheless see discrimination happening. From conversations I've had, this can be of a more subtle nature than what one would see in more traditionally chauvinistic work areas, but it exists all right. Subscrib...

zigzackly’s omnium-gatherum: "You'll never work in advertising again, Griffin"
https://zigzackly.blogspot.com/2014/07/youll-never-work-in-advertising-again.html
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Tuesday, 29 July 2014. You'll never work in advertising again, Griffin". I once made a living writing ads. As livings go it wasn't half-bad. Cept for the suits. Who to tell you the truth. Often severely lacked gonads. Suits and creative: always antagonistic. You guys are SO unrealistic! What it really means. Is "Creative are all bloody pricks". Account Planning is (pause to wink). A serious ad agency funtcionk. They do the stuff. That wasn't happening enough.

zigzackly’s omnium-gatherum: Hairfall
https://zigzackly.blogspot.com/2014/07/hairfall.html
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Sunday, 13 July 2014. This is the end. Hold your scalp and count to ten. Feel your comb move, and then. Hear my hair fall again. For this is the end. I've combed and brushed this moment. Comb-over time, can't grow more. Taken away, it's stolen. Let the hair fall. We will stand bald. And face it all together. Let the hair fall. We will stand bald. Hairfall is where we part. Our hair but then it parts. From us and clogs the drain-hole. Got a trichologist's number?

Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Saturday, 27 December 2014. Jo mera hai, woh mera hai. Hello This is Cartel, one of those lovely companies who came into the electricity-providing business when the government opened it up to the private sector. When we started out, all of you were using incandescent bulbs and tube lights and stuff like that. Achche Din, right? Now many of you are using power-saving CFL bulbs and even LED bulbs. This has cut into our revenue. Heck, because we can. Forget your p...

zigzackly’s omnium-gatherum: The itsy bitsy teenie weenie song
https://zigzackly.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-itsy-bitsy-teenie-weenie-song.html
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Sunday, 13 July 2014. The itsy bitsy teenie weenie song. She was afraid to come out of the locker. She was as nervous as she could be. She was afraid she’d land up in the lock-up. She was afraid of the Goa Pee Dubyu Dee. 8220;One, two, three, four! It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, symbol of her own agency. It was her body, so she thought it was okay. An itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, ordinary flash of whimsy. But Mantriji said it would make men prey. No mor...

zigzackly’s omnium-gatherum: Wee, the Media

Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Thursday, 17 July 2014. Wee, the Media. He wanted to make a big stink. About a politico-big biz link. His editor liked it. But the owner spiked it. And that's why journalists drink. At 9 pee em, with elation. We wait for today's sensation. We watch as he shouts. Waggles his fingers about. Heck, you wanted to know, O nation! A young one with visions of glory. Filed an investigative story. The editor laughed till he had a coronary. Oh you journalist chaps. The Em...

zigzackly’s omnium-gatherum: May 2004
https://zigzackly.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html
Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. Thursday, 27 May 2004. Hey, This Used To Be A Geek Thing! Back in the Stone Age when I started Kitabkhana. Then it all began to change. People did articles on the blogging phenomenon. And the beginning of the end of the blogging phenomenon. And perversely reassuring pieces. And of course them. She Who Must Be Read. This has upset some bloggers. There's this piece about People Who Blog Too Much. The Babu isn't sure what's more depressing than this: to learn that...
