A recent research study done over a period of 3 yr by an amateur doltish geek suggests that it is now possible to measure the temperament of an motor vehicle driver using a 'temperometer', thanks to the sullen callous pachydermatous traffic conditions in Delhi. Temperometer would use a speech synthesis technique and identify the ribald remarks made by the rake and would give the results at an

For a change, I was watching TV today. I don't generally like watching Tv coz I believe Televisions are for appearing on, not looking at. Nevertheless, there is this unending and colossal debate going on of whether to ban smoking onscreen or not and unfortunately, the health ministry has ruled out in its favour, thus, opening the pandora's box.I call this unfortunate for a very simple reason that

Finally, after a long trip for about 3 weeks in Europe, I am back in India. It kinda feels good as towards the end of my trip, I had a nostalgic feeling and wanted to get back home as soon as possible. It was a wonderful experience though, travelling throughout Europe and I must say, I had a helluva great time.Europe is beautifully articulated in its entirety. Although, some people would agree

Its been a while since i last logged into this blog, actually its been about a month-and-a-half but had no real news/happenings to put in here. I was actually bitten by slothfulness and to add to it, I was not really straining my grey cells as am on a vacation. Vacation really, but only for about a week now. I am on a euroTrip, am currently in Uk for about a week now and would be heading for

In my last post, I pointed out that people can not exercise free will education because of the sheer masses that instill in the process. It has been a joker’s cry for years that in all probabilities (leaving out the exceptions) a rich man’s progeny would remain rich and the poor one’s poor. This does not mean that we eliminate the poor resulting in a tremendous increase of per capita income, and

For a while, I have been wondering of whether I am an engineer by choice or have I been forced into being one, as that is the only thing I or my parents knew at the time of the completion of my high school. Moreover, does my passion lies in screwing up things coz that is basically what engineers are hired for.Education system in India is like sportfishing at the nets. You eat what you get. It’s

Internet-a luxury or a necessity, was a doubt that I always carried up my sleeves. Of late, I am quite convinced and inclined for the latter. This is also the reason why I am not writing for quite some time, I do not have round-the-clock access to the internet which is showing on my thought process.

Its 2005 and I hear everyone around me yelling..'India Shining', 'India Superpower by 2020' and similar proses. I am with the movement and am waiting for the moment when we did something out of the ordinary. But, I still think India may not develop because..Some noted economists and experts give several reasons of India not on the verge of development. One of the reasons generally given is in

It looks paradoxical either way. We, Indians have a very unique way of obeying people (atleast, we do obey) i.e. whatever we are called for, we just go and do exactly the opposite. I recall a very famous saying that goes like: My idea of success is to listen to the best of the advices available and then go and do just the

I have been pondering for a while as to know of what life is, why do people live (and not die), what is my aim in life and all sorts of such not-so-sane thoughts. I call my thoughts insane as they aren't commonplace and the society admits that all the things that are abnormal and do not go hand in hand with the decree of the society are insane. And since, most of the people that live around me do

When I talk of mindset, I mean the preconceived notions that are imbibed within us, which are not liable to change, no matter how forceful the beseiged environment maybe. Who cares of what the govt. says or how stringent the laws are, we'll still throw the refuse cans on the street, bribe the policeman for not wearing the seatbelt of the cars or jumping over the street light, always be ignorant

How would you feel if you are taken for as an intruder in your own land? I'll be abashed, for the least. Sometime back, I had a friend from London who was on her vacation to India and on her leisure spree, she dropped by. We went to the local railway station to get her tickets cancelled. Since she is a British and I, too, have a sort of European looks (I abhor it when people tell me that; after

I am observing a catalytic change in people around me these days. As they are becoming more knowledge savvy, they have started to debate just over anything. And most of the time, people do not have a concrete argument to make but since, the topic is close to their heart, they argue it out. I conclude two things out of this. Firstly, most of them lack objectivity. This means that a point that can

I have been pro-google for sometime now, but the faith has suddenly started shaking after using two of the google's closely associated softwares: Orkut and Blogger. I had found quite a no. of bugs in Orkut but since it is still in beta phase, never complained. It has been over an hour since a spam comment has been posted on my blog and am unable to delete it..can't find the 'Delete Comment'

The recent Tsunami hit has had a devastating effect on the people of South-East Asia. Over 100,000 ppl. hav been reported dead and several others are missing. Critics have started arguing the fact that Nostradamus’ prediction is poving out to be correct; I don’t accord to that but we are in a peril for sure.

This is the third war that Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google and Microsoft’s Bill Gates are fighting. Schmidt has lost to Gates on the earlier two accounts, once when he was the CEO of Sun Microsystems and second, when he was the CEO of Novell. When you draw a comparison of how Gates shuts down the business of his counterparts, first thing that comes to mind is the browser war fought between MS

I m just back after watching ‘Swades’ directed by Oscar nominated veteran, Ashutosh Gowarikar. I have always seen the Hindi movie directors flaunting with the script such that they are able to make a complete family loving sentimental reel, this one was yet another toast. The theme of the movie is personally quite close to my heart. It hits a very major cause that is often ignored by many, that

People are seduced with technology to such an extent that they do not know whether to use the old fashioned ‘hello’ devices (mind you! the wireless technology is rocking the world upside down) or stick to much in-fashion stuff in the form of SMS and emails. A recent study says that, “young people are getting stressed out by technology and are logging off completely”. I think the more advanced a

People have always been morons, a piece of disgusting shit. And for ages, humankind tried to find a conceptualized system wherein they could channelize their spiritual shortcomings. The system had to be profound, vast such that it could take into consideration varied forms of disgusting behaviour. It also had to be simple enough such that an illiterate peasant can also understand and induce in

‘No matter how hard an individual fights, he can never overcome a community’. I am one person who never believed in this notion, and always thought that one, who is with the truth, prevails… I have often seen in typical Hindi movies whenever an imandaar and izzatdaar police officer turns down a bribe from a villain, he is either transferred from the given place or is crucified. But, since the

A toast to George Bush, the newly elected president of the Divided States of America. After prolonged deliberations and disputations, President Bush has seen the light of the day, stealing the win from Senator Kerry from the jaws of defeat. Before the election campaign kicked off, I considered Bush an underdog for the presidential candidature. I say this for at least three reasons: 1. The war
