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 [...]

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).

A wonderful ad, after a long time.

A Vision of students today

The change is already underway, and will be the definition of what the next generation will look like. Interconnected, collaborative, interdependent, but still fiercely individualistic.

My own music pieces, after such a long time!

Something I composed last Sunday. Done entirely on FL Studio on my comp, and damn I need to buy a keyboard soon! It is really tough to put together such music note-by-note, layer by layer…
Tranquility
Made with a piano base and a flute overlay, this song plays on the soft moods of a tranquil seashore and [...]

The Death of Intuition

I have a theory. And I have enough empirical proof from my own life to believe it holds true. So here it is:
We are trying to systematically kill intuition. All of us.
How did I come to this ridiculous conclusion, you ask? Here’s a sample list: mass education, objective question papers, market research, decision analysis tools, [...]
