- Radio Jockeys or Stupid Jocks
Stupid Jocks is what I would call some of the popular radio jockeys shrieking their way to fame. There’s a post further down this page about an FM channel named after a vibrant basic color. There’s this woman there who is RJ-S running a show named after Delhi street food. I happened to win a [...]
Mon, 21 May 2007 16:03:11 +0000 - A Country Out of Control
Corporate Governance: I’m wondering when our government is going to bring in laws to improve corporate transparency from the consumers point of view. Take Heinz India for example. Lets say you wish to contact the company… in this day and age, you would probably want to use email. Or perhaps you wish to see their [...]

Downloaded and ran the ‘breezy badger’ ubuntu linux virtual machine, using the open source vmware player. i’m big into open source now… tell you more later. while the linux itself ran file (though i did need to fiddle with the x files to get my resolution higher than 640×480) it didn’t have any sound. a short [...]
Sat, 12 May 2007 20:12:42 +0000 - Religion and Morals
This is based on a friends first blog (teerandaaz) entry. I know or have seen a *huge* bunch of people who are or seem to be totally immersed in religion - they wear a tika on their foreheads, their houses smell of incense, are 100% vegetarian, they go to temples every other day and then again [...]
Thu, 10 May 2007 05:04:52 +0000 - Polite Indians?
I remember the number of people who responded to a Readers Digest survey and conclusion that Mumbai is one of the rudest cities in the world. Most respondents were of the opinion that Indians were actually polite but didn’t really make themselves out to be so. I beg to differ. I’ve been consciously making observations on the [...]
Sat, 21 Apr 2007 18:55:09 +0000 - Bad Ass FM
A few days back I was one of the so called lucky winners of a contest held for a major ketchup brand, conducted by an NCR based FM channel that associates itself with a particularly vibrant color. Today, a lady, lets call her MarsBar, calls me and confirms that I have indeed won something and I [...]
Thu, 19 Apr 2007 09:58:34 +0000 - Publicity Seekers
Don’t want to waste too many words here… but I’m sure there are many thousands of cases in India where Indian traditions and value are flouted, thousands of women whose basic rights as human beings are flouted every day. Why don’t these idiots do something where it will make a difference? Sid
Wed, 18 Apr 2007 04:54:22 +0000 - Pasto - Italian Kitchen
Pasto is a reinvention of Masala Magic - a very drastic and total transmogrification actually. Looking for a bite after treating myself to a new phone (Nokia E62) we decided to finally try Pasto. On all earlier occasions I have avoided the place thinking it would probably serve different renditions of the clichéd and ubiquitous [...]
Mon, 09 Apr 2007 15:29:42 +0000 - Thursday Morning
Made breakfast today… and blame it on the overwhelming south indian atmosphere I’ve been immersed in in the last few days - Its called - The Treacherous Tambram - A western-south indian fusion. Both, the wife and daughter liked it, so I guess it wasn’t bad. Check it out on the Recipes column. Tomorrow is my [...]
Thu, 05 Apr 2007 03:59:42 +0000 - What talent crunch?
The papers are RSS feeds are full about how the IT and BPO industry are facing a severe talent crunch. I think corporate India should shrug off its fixation with degrees and begin the design of processes and tests that test the core of a person rather than take the ‘education’ from his degree for granted. [...]
