A different kind of weekend (narrative)

Friday was the last day of the working weekend. The weekend that started early.
Friday was a treat day. The treat was overbudget.
This place called IndiJoe’s has sizzlers. The sizzlers that were burnt.
It was so bad I couldn’t finish. The unpalatable sizzlers that caused indigestion.
A plan was made to go on a Saturday trip. [...]

Trace

I remember something from college that makes me grin.
Usually Electronics or Electrical labs involving the Oscilloscope would be scheduled right after a lunch break. This would give me time to buy a Nestle Kit-Kat.
Now I don’t know who else noticed this, but there’s a triple layer wrapping on Kit-Kat (at least in India it is) [...]

Portents!

Today, was Thursday.
I think this Thursday broke the record for positive hints. There were MANY portents. Several, staggering signs that things could be amazingly fine.
There were also bad omens.
Hence, a plan. Let’s work and make the good ones count. And let’s be careful and stop the bad ones.
Here’s a toast – a toast to vaguely [...]

Hello, blog. Long time no see?

Yes, yes, I know I am not writing often enough. And no, no, neither am I having too little to talk about, not too much.
I did come up with an idea or two (on the bus again), but that will have to wait it’s turn – now is not the time.
I’ve been wondering about the eternal verities [...]

Infinite

Another one from my bus thinking sessions…
I think I’ll call it ‘The Moment Of Infinite Possibilities’ – I’m sure better hands than mine would already have crafted something far superior for the concept, but bear with me.
I’m looking out the window at this absolutely serene grey-blue sky completely covered in layer after layer of clouds [...]

Choices to make

Every conundrum, every dilemma, every one of those daily questions of life, the universe and everything will have four possible choices.

The one you want everyone else to know is the ‘fit and proper’ way
The one you desperately want to take but your own sense of right and wrong is in the way
The wrong one
The right [...]

Doubt

Caveat Lector: I wrote this half asleep in the bus.
Every day when you get out. Just for a little while. As soon as you board the bus. When you catch your breath. That voice in your head starts to squeak. Then whine. Then squeal. And yelp. And shout. And scream. And roar. ‘Have you forgotten [...]

Sing, sing, sing

For the past few days, I’ve been going all-out ballistic on song repeat (with mild nodding and humming in the office) to Sing by Travis from the album The Invisible Band (2001). Nigel Godrich was involved.
Everyone on twitter listening to me, or pretending to, is annoyed by ’sing, sing, sing’ – kids, if you don’t [...]

Assumptions

Assume I posted something here. Just to keep going.
I’ll assume someone commented.
We’ll both assume that a constructive dialogue occured and we added value to the world.
How nice.

Epic Slander

One of my colleagues had invited me to his wedding – an event, which through unfortunate circumstances (and mostly my extreme stupidity) I did not attend.
So, I am, a bit awkwardly, hoping that he’ll forgive this transgression of mine after reading this story.
I’m submitting the hand written draft to him as a sort of shaky [...]
