If you’re in a happy and positive frame of mind right now, skip reading this one, its gonna be ‘dear-diary’ level mopey. I don’t want to ruin your day. I’ve hit a roadblock.. actually, STUCK at a roadblock would be more accurate. I feel shortchanged by life, God, destiny, whatever name you want to use.…
Yes.. I admit it.. I LOVE my government, and sincerely believe in the image of themselves they try to propagate to us citizens; that they are full of wise visionaries whose every decision (or lack of it) is aimed at a greater good for all. I’ve got my blinkers firmly in place, and believe everything…
The industrial revolution has created so many myths, like the myth that men and women have to be in perfect sizes (when the reality is that these SIZES were made so that manufacturers can easily mass produce clothes), or like the myth that having more STUFF makes you happy… heaven knows how many people are…
How many years ago did I write my previous post? :p I’m sorry, I’m having a complete overhaul of my house and everything is out of whack. As I’m writing this, I’m fighting watery eyes and burning lungs from the paint primer fluid. One more month to go… I didn’t even have internet for 5…
My God, I’m getting lazy in my writing! I’m not writing as often as I originally intended to. 😦 The ever informative (and occasionally dubious) Wikipedia tells me that the concept of SMS was created by a guy called Friedhelm Hillebrand somewhere in the 1980s. I can be sure he had noble intentions at heart while…
My God, I have an agenda against corporates, don’t I? :p Forgive the amateurish image up top, I use paint, and I’m really bad at it. We’ve all had experiences with the corporate world, both as customers, and as employees, and most of us have experienced their idiotic ways in doing something one way, when…
Have you ever felt like you don’t belong somewhere? I’m sure you have, but I’m not referring to the fleeting sensation of “I don’t fit in” that registers at the back of your mind when you encounter a new place, or set of people that’s a little beyond what you’re used to, no, I’m referring…
As you’re aware, I’m sure, India is a pretty damn big country, and it seems even bigger because of the diversity from 1 region to the next. Sometimes I wonder if we’re a collection of mini-countries passing of as a single unit. Movies subtly draw from society, and reflect to an outsider some of…
When I was a baby, I was worth the future dreams of my parents. As a child, I was worth the marks I got in my report card. For my friends, I was worth the toys I brought to the playing field. In college, I was worth the major I chose. In love, I was…
You’re aware, I’m sure, that I’ve been searching for a job for some time. The usual avenues are being explored, resumes are being sent to everyone willy nilly, Gods are being implored, yet there’s no progress happening, unfortunately. Naturally, this process will cause frustration, not just to me, but to anyone who’s unlucky to see…
Back when I was 10, and hadn’t let the world influence me with its thoughts of what can and cannot be achieved, I had a hyperactive imagination. A very hyperactive imagination. I had seen Dexter’s Lab, and loved his cool gadgets. To me, inventions were a very nice way to get rich while helping people…
I had the extremely good fortune to visit a fort on my recent trip. I love history, there’s a certain aura to the things that have long past, deeds of great men and women who walked these places before you, and despite trying circumstances, left an indelible mark on the landscape and the psyche of…
