Music: The King of Pop turns 50

Michael Jackson. What a genius, what a voice, what a career. I am not particularly fond of pop music (of the Boyband-girlband variety) but this man is something else. He has been an inspiration in composition, voice, performance, and sheer creativity. And he turns 50 today. A tribute is due.

Marvinism for the day: 14.8.08

Pudu (n.): A person as irritating as a sneeze in the middle of a pee. Nothing you can do about it, can’t be stopped, totally unpredictable, and something you totally don’t want happening to yourself.

A musical year: One year in Singapore

It’s been a year in Singapore. One very eventful, enriching, happening year where I learnt a lot, made many friends and most importantly, opened my mind in ways more than one.

Life at its Prime

“Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.” — Mark Haddon (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the [...]

Marvinism for today: 30.5.08

Rocca (n.): The silent creeping realization that one has gone onto chats with office friends replete with expletives and wry humor WHILST still connected to NetMeeting at work, thereby broadcasting arbit conversations to a bewildered Aussie colleague.
