The Merseyside Derby

With the past few weeks being surprisingly hectic (for reasons i am not able to ascertain myself), and with six drafts languishing half-finished on my wordpress account, i switched my pc on. I turned the volume bar on as high as it would go, and opened firefox. The music was at full blast, i could [...]

Independence day @ IIIT

How did you celebrate the Independence Day in your school? Remember all the kids in neat, fresh uniforms and the PT-guy with the weird voice shouting at them? Remember the compulsory attendance, and the teachers being all tense and hyper? Remember the flags, sweets and what-not they distributed? Remember the boring speeches made and the [...]

The 3CFF and the Literary Club

Yes, i was so darn lazy to put out posts the past fortnight, this is almost three posts rolled into one (more muck for one click?). Anyway, on the 29th and 30th, the 3CFF was held. The 3CFF? The Tri continental Film Festival or something, its full form. Given my dislike for documentaries, i was [...]

Recent Happenings…

Well, as yet another summer vacation comes to an end, i find myself back on campus. So, am i looking forward to another sem? (you know, in an academic kind of way) Well, sadly, no. For one thing, a certain course which i plan to take has a prof about whom people have been highly [...]

more news – part II – soccer

with the world cup looming, soccer is pretty much 'in' the news. imho, while a tournament on the grounds of an actual 'league' of champions from different countries would be far more interesting than a tournament based on nationality, the world cup is still something to look forward to. what do i mean by an [...]

Farewell 2006

1st of April, 2006 – interesting date for a farewell, aye? not just with it being the first of April, it seems pretty intriguing to see an important event like this being held a day and a half before back-to-back endsems days (as in consecutive days)
Be on Time…
… or so said the mail, promising to [...]

amalgam cancelled…

… and im more or less indifferent. is something wrong with me? now, before all those who busted their a$$es for putting up a good show at amalgam decide to have me assassinated and put some bounty on my head, ive got to clarify – its not like im all happy and jumping around in [...]

the dual-degree lunch

i HAVE to rub this in the faces of all those unfortunate enough to be in the four year program. lets see – where did you eat your lunch today? oh yes, in that dump we call the mess. the food is getting worse there, isnt it? yes, i know. something should be done about [...]

A whole friggin year!!

My first post in the blogosphere was on the 8th of March, 2005. May have been a stupid post, that one. May have been one of those posts you end up calling “wierd” and actually meaning it. May seem funny, if you look at the futility of the post. Or it may be classified as [...]
