On moderation

I’m not rejecting comments. The new template seems to be doing it on its own. And I don’t know enough HTML to fix it. So when you have stuff to say, just mail me, yes?

Happy 1413

Its not quite 1602, but its almost there. Shubho nababorsho to you, if you’re still hanging out at this sadly unfashionable corner of the blogosphere. Look, I got my blog new clothes and everything.

I still is

Thanks everyone who asked – yes, I am alive, well, still at large in Delhi. Trying very hard to meet a suddenly staggering workload, which is very difficult if you’ve done no work in the last three months. But the HT column should be back soon, have short stories to write for about five anthologies, [...]

Sprang the trappist

Yes, I know, prolonged silence yet again. In Cal now, have been for the last five days, leaving for Delhi in a couple of hours. Broto got married. So did Debanjana. Was there with video camera to capture key moments. Much fun. Might be moving to Bangalore in a few days. Yeah. More later.

Also been reading a fair bit – finally did Transmetropolitan, Alan Moore’s Swamp thing, a few others. Still waiting – for big work breaks, life-alterting phone calls, genies in bottles and so on. The unread Bloglines links [...]

Cheers [...]

Cave

Have gone into uber-grump hermit mode again, as have started work on book 3; I leap and snap at small sounds and walk around flat muttering. blogging will be increasingly sporadic until anti-social phase passes; comments have also been disabled for the time being, but will be back once i start posting regularly again. Still [...]

Whew

How mind-numbingly scary it is when the net is down. It’s finally back, thank the gods. The cable internet people got tired of me calling every few minutes. Well, it took them seven hours to haul ass, so I guess we were pretty even. While I was waiting, finished a book, watched Fantastic Four (nice [...]

Back in Delhi

hot and uncomfortable. Reread Dona Tartts The Secret History on the way. Met the sister and the Paul, who are moving back. Ate momos. And watched A Fish Called Wanda again. And downloaded Google Talk – sound on calls is amazing, but dont have a mike, so cant talk back. Wrestling with research for a [...]

Desktop

Have been meaning to put up my desktop background on this blog for a while now. This is from Beatiful Stuff
