Vivaha Bhojanam

I usually don’t blog about food or my foodie outings, but this Saturday was an exception. A fricking mindblowing stomach gratifying monster of an exception.
Let me put things in perspective. A week of ok-ish food, and a very early and miniscule dinner on Friday evening left me with a craving for a good meal, desi-style [...]

A date with Galileo Figaro and Scaramoush

What an evening, and whatay performance. I caught the last Singapore show of We Will Rock You (also known as WWRY), a musical by Queen and Ben Elton, based on Queen songs. Just one word to describe the experience: mind-blowing (no, it’s not two words. It one hyphenated word).
The storyline, the cast, the history are [...]

Celebrating dumbness

Imagine a situation where you are dumbfounded by a very simple question, that too in front of a million people. Something even a kid with basic education could have answered. What does one do in such an embarrassing position? Grin and bear the shame, and try to learn better or get booed by the audience, [...]

Marvinism for the day: 12.4.08

Elliot (n.): The small cardboard cartons that people always carry when they move offices. (And not air-bags, plastic bags, shoulder bags, cloth bags, hell, not even paper bags). Can also refer to the mysterious place where one gets these cartons from.

The Poetry of Pain

It is true. Pain brings out the poet in everyone. Poignancy is an emotion of being bereft, not of abundance. The best heartfelt lines speak of loves lost and sacrifices that worshiped an ingrate.

Marvinisms for the day: 30.3.08

Westin (n.): The weird sleeping position (not sitting, not lying) that one assumes only on Economy class flight seats.
Gadzillion (n.): The large number of aunties (close to infinity) who will, arbitly, for no reason, and without any knowledge about you, tell you at your cousin’s marriage that you are next to get married.
Thumbbum (n.): [...]

Status Message Collection: Volume 1

Some SMs I’ve had on Gtalk over the past months. A good reflection of what I was thinking then.
==========
heart of child, scorn of a woman
effervescent as a wave, dense as the night
light as love, intense as pain
what is it that she seeks, an answer to her own might?
==========
schadenfreude secrets /
Camouflaged closets /
Silhouetted Souls, and /

TED: Technology, Entertainment and Design

TED is a confluence of ideas that is unparalleled in my opinion, in its breadth of topics, its strength of discussion, and the intellectual power of its participants. And most of all, in its purpose. Of spreading ideas that are worth spreading.
TED is a yearly congregation of many fantastic minds who discuss and showcase anything [...]

A wonderful ad, after a long time.

The personification of something so common and prevalent, done to a degree that is almost touching, human. A simple idea brilliantly executed. And as my favorite ads do, this one made me think about it long after the 30 secs was done. And made me even blog about it :)
