Once in a while, you read a book that is an entirely intimate and personal experience. It’s extremely gratifying but unnerving to read about a protagonist who shares your traits, quirks and personal philosophy. This was one such book for me.
This Book Will Save Your Life is a satire of affluence and it’s pitfalls. Richard [...]

I constantly keep track of my site stats, mostly just to feed my bloated ego but there are times I’m curious to find what people actually read here. Somehow my post on 300 shows up whenever people search for naked men. I will not comment on that but today someone searched for ”malayalee moron” and [...]

I can’t contain myself. I’m giggling like a 10 year old. I haven’t been this excited in a while.
For a handful of us back in college, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle was a defining moment in our four years at that godforsaken place. It sort of gained a cult status back then and [...]

I take risks; sometimes patients die. But not taking risks causes more patients to die, so I guess my biggest problem is I’ve been cursed with the ability to do the math.
Dr Gregory House is arguably one of the coolest people on TV (along with the likes of Alan Shore from Boston Legal and [...]

After years (!) of careful thinking and research (and mind numbing monotony), the list of probable candidates for  the honor of being The Prestidigitator’s Idea of the Perfect Woman has come down to three beautiful and not to mention intelligent individuals…er…women.

Ranga Shankara (JP Nagar, Bangalore) was host to the play, Butter and Mashed Banana. Directed by Ajay Krishnan, this was an amazingly humorous yet profound look at our system of censorship.
It’s a three act play wherein the first act details the illegitimate birth of the protagonist (conceived on a night of ill advised [...]

Heads up to Johnny for noticing this at Landmark, Bangalore.
New genre you say?

In keeping with my whole Garden State/Zach Braff fan boy image, here’s the ultimate ZB homage video. Just after I got it from Pangu, I found out that Zach Braff actually posted it on his blog as well!
The video is so bad that it’s actually pretty damn good. I think I’ll be humming this for [...]

I came across this site, Global Richlist and was ‘pleasantly‘ surprised to find that, inspite of my pathetic and meagre earnigs I’m actually the 850,643,176 th richest person on the planet.
Apparently, I’m in the top 14.17%…in terms of annual income.

Sigh…just hope all this new found wealth doesn’t go to my head! Not! 

How depressed does a comedian have to be to actually kill himself?

Acclaimed funny man, Richard Jeni apparently shot himself recently. Truly one of the greatest stand up artistes  ever. Reminds me of a story Rorschach narrates in Watchmen.
Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he [...]
