Great Bong has a fabulous post on the Great Parnab Mukherjee, which rekindled fond memories of very entertaining chats in the Don Bosco auditorium, and not-so-fond memories of those made-up questions. Parnab’s doing very well now, quizzes, theatre, and has even written a book. But I guess you can’t fool all of the people all … Continue reading
Theres a dull, hollow pain in my left ventricle. I am tense, jumpy, hairtrigger irritable. And this is because bloody Sarnath Banerjee, using his peerless scamster/schmoozer skills, somehow convinced me to lend him my Monty Python DVDs. Strongly suspect I will call him once every five minutes today to find out how they are. Note: … Continue reading
This is from the marginalien’s recent cartoon, where the jabberwock drools over suki, but ive seen this expression on jai’s face sometimes. So caption this: What has the Jabberwock just heard?

My favourite vote-for-me line was … Continue reading

After yet another day of no work – well, i wrote one paragraph about security minotaurs but that doesnt really count, does it? – i watched this thriller called bad company – anthony hopkins, chris rock. they should have called it bad idea – mindblowingly boring sludge of cliches, sad one-liners and american paranoia. my … Continue reading
Renuka, whose Food Eating Battle Monkey has an incredible rating of 9.7, and who has gone to the gym because her figure isnt EXACTLY like Monica Bellucis/Sophia Haques, sent me an Ideal Job Predictor. For my name, it said – Anything except what you’re doing now. I am now depressed
cant choose, as of now, between ‘He-Man’ a manhunt hosted by Shekhar Suman on Star One, and anything on Akash Bangla. The thing about Akash B is, occasionally its so bad its good, so I suppose He-Man wins. All the more so because I love the damn cartoon, and this show is a black mark … Continue reading
