I have started watching television after a long hiatus…Is it just me getting old or is TV getting really crappy nowadays? Apart from the ubiquitous soaps with unfaithful wives that jump into bed with the postman before you can say ‘infidelity’ and the amazingly cheesy ads in which people get unbelievably excited about pure water and clean teeth, I noticed that practically ALL the male models seem

Completed Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction today... without any cheats(and as a sorceress, at that)!!!*SOB* my mom will be so proud...Consequently my character no longer goes by the title of 'Babe' - she is a 'Slayer Babe' *drum roll*It's a terrible name as names go, I know, but it's better than 'Slayer 36C' which is T's name for his assassin.Feel the power of Level 58 charged bolts, ya puny worms!

It's been a long time since I pandered to the geek in me...so much to do- so little time (or was it the other way round?)So whilst whiling time on a lazy Sunday, I stumbled across this really neat gallery creator called Tiltviewer and wasted no time in updating my online photo gallery.*I'm finally getting the hang of wildlife photography; my subjects no longer run away as soon as I approach.

On my way home from office, I counted no fewer than seventeen hoardings today. I was taken aback - I had expected so many more. This is after all, a (kind of) democracy. I couldn't resist taking some snaps of the amazingly charismatic politicos that have so obligingly given us so much to look up to. Exhibit A Take a closer look at Row 2, Column 1. Omigosh! Half- orcs do exist...Saruman, thou

Some readers were wondering whether I intended to update my blog. This, quite frankly, dumbfounded me since I was under the impression that the only reading audience I had was the erstwhile PVG katta 'committee'- and that too because they were wilfully misled by my constant promises that sooner or later I would upload photographs of Renée Zellweger in a bikini.(Keep checking guys -I really plan

Putting down useless words on paper was the besetting sin of the 20th century; putting them online is that of the 21st.I believe this is the only justification for my blog.On my way to office last week, I was stopped by a group of protestors near Neelayam theatre. I wasn't entirely sure who they were, what they were protesting against or why I had been stopped. The leader - a tall cadaverous

While cleaning out my cupboard today, I discovered the stock of cheap fiction with even cheaper characters, which had sustained me in my Deutsch lectures in school. Looking over them, I felt remarkably nostalgic. No Shaw or Hardy or Austen had ever given me the vicarious thrills which these novels with their sleazy characters and entirely predictable plots gave me. This was written as a tribute

I dug this out from my archives of junior year inanity. This is something I scribbled in the middle of an Applied Electronics lecture that was extraordinarily boring, even by Kelkar's standards.It eventually wormed its way into the college magazine, the vociferous objections of the magazine secretary notwithstanding .T.E. was a time of mulish and wilful disobedience when I didn't know or care

The lark's on the wing,The snail's on the thorn, God's in His heaven All's right with the world...Back to blogging after a long break - I was under the misapprehension that meaningful blogs necessitate eventful lives. However, being an engineer and an English teacher to boot, I have given up all pretense of having a social, let alone an eventful life. And the term 'meaningful blog' is an oxymoron

….all you need to do is read this article and practise the following diligently: Eat a hundred and fifty seven eggs daily Mix the sweat of a toad and the liver of a platypus, look at it and not throw up.

Here's my first attempt at a stereogram. If you don't know what a stereogram is click here. If you have trouble seeing the the hidden 3D image, take your face close to the monitor and focus BEHIND the image until you see three dots at the top (not two or four). Then move your face back slowly until the dot at the center comes into sharp focus while the others appear to be blurred. At this point
