I am an avid listener of GO 92.5FM, a radio station in Mumbai. Every day, through the day, they have news updates… One of these is the morning 9 am one “Sports Talk with Annie”. This is the newsreader profile and this morning, I swear I heard her read this out:
The abandonment of the Chennai match thanks [...]
Reading about how TV cameras caught the swashbuckling Shahid Afridi scuffing up the pitch on the second day of the second Test against England brings back memories from the early ’90s when charges of ball tampering were rife against Pakistan bowlers because they got reverse swing. Unfortunately for England, they could never prove those charges [...]
I love watching movies (as is evident from this) but the recent installment of the HP series: Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire was anything but enjoyable. The primary reason being the choice of theatre.
There is a reason the multiplex revolution has everyone in its grasp… they offer a comfortable viewing experience, complete with [...]
Piracy of just about anything is deeply rooted in modern India. We almost never want to pay full price. That means, we never want to pay taxes. Multiple reasons for this, surely. Despite understanding the fact that by buying stuff legally (with bill and warranty as it is referred to) that will help improve the [...]
Seriously, would you drink it if it cost so much? I would maybe resell and make more money!!
Even the creator of Dilbert is not spared. Kind of reminds me of those ICICI Bank credit card salesmen in grocery stores. I sympathise totally.
The past couple of weeks have been relatively relaxed in terms of workload etc and I have had a fair amount of time on hand to catch up on some much-delayed reading and movies. The reading has already been chronicled but the movies haven’t…
Interestingly, though, my choice of movies was vague at best. I picked [...]
I would strongly agree with the point of this author: Don’t go on live TV if you are hungover.
Video at your own risk!
We’ve all been there, done that… as in skipping school (Ow, my tummy hurts), not doing homework (my dog ate it) and what not. We have hence been scolded, shouted at punished and at times even hit. But this is crazy. What’s truly worse, though, is that the mom looks rather smug and happy posing [...]
Totally rocks and is a must-read.
Beg, borrow or steal. But don’t miss.
Greg Chappell has introduced a way of ‘capping’ new players. Commendable and I agree with this report that Sunny will be happy!
Unfortunately, Indiatimes.com seems to have no respect for the nations sporting (or other) icons. Take a look at this slideshow and you will know. More specifically, this line [from here]: “This sporty siren is [...]
I have recently been researching on post production and visual effects and the like in movies and what I have found has left me shocked. Needless to say, while movies are dreams on screen, there is no truth to whatever we see.
While this may be good in the case of movies that need effects, there [...]
I have to admit that I am quite intrigued by this show and over the last couple of weeks, do watch it with unerring regularity. Not really normal for me when it concerns TV shows.
The thing is, this is a chance to see the hitherto typecast TV actors in a totally new light (no allusions [...]
Yes, it is rather silly. But this is also interesting as to how our brain fools us. Click and enjoy.
Also, my old blog is worth a fair bit of money. This one, though, not so much.
Old Blog:
My blog is worth $10,161.72.How much is your blog worth?
This Blog: $0.00.
Where do I encash this?
And how! Yesterday’s win by India over Sri Lanka announced one of the most emphatic results in Indian cricket for a long time.
Not since Mohd Azharuddin’s team humiliated the visiting English 3-0 (Tests) back in 1993-94 has Indian cricket enjoyed such a resounding result.
And the reasons: Greg Chappell, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and the new [...]
I am talking about Diwali and not of the other ‘lighting up’ which can lead to illusions and hallucinations. Not interested, thank you! But the last week has been quite fabulous. For one, I went off to Pune and turned off my cell phone. I switched off the TV. I closed the room door and [...]
Now that I have migrated and tried (unsuccesfully) also to import all posts from Blogger, I have figured that this is the best way. Following are links to posts made in October at the old blog.
All new posting will happen right here.
Egads It’s Flying In My Kitchen [here]
Eating my words and enjoying it [...]
I will soon be moving to a new blog… a WordPress one. Why? Because they are easier to maintain and offer better navigation and categorisation options.
Also, I have an invite to give away… please me and it’s yours!
My new address will be: Scribbler On The Net.
See you there.
