You know, I think all these so-called scientists are totally wasting their time. And mine. They keep “discovering” things like – “Coffee reduces the risk of inner-respiratory lung disease by 0.0004%” and “Not Smoking helps give you 2 days of extra life”. Duh! I already know that. Why don’t these scientists spend their time...
Back when we were in school, maybe 5th – 6th standard, there was this huge WWF (now called WWE) fad. It was the best thing on TV, and every single kid in Bangalore was hooked on to it. It was basically pro-wrestling, but with soap opera like twists. Now when I think back, the...
Did you folks hear about the latest Microsoft Excel Fiasco? Apparently, Excel 2007 can’t do simple multiplication! Typing 850 x 77.1 gives the answer as 100,000 instead of the correct 65,535. I’m not kidding. Read about it here and here. Let me be the first to say that this is not a bug, it’s...
A few years ago, I decided to do something special for my GF’s birthday – I decided to buy her a gift. Those days, you’d be lucky if I didn’t write you a poem for your birthday, so this was really special. I really wanted to be nice and buy her a nice gift...

But the obviousness that all matches have been fixed doesn’t seem to have affected the vast majority of the country. They still watch the game...
Apparently, Life is unfair. I was shocked to find out. I always thought that Life came with a lifetime warranty. Unfortunately, as it turns out, that isn’t true. When I was little, I thought everyone got turns getting first rank in class. I first started getting suspicious when the same girl got the first...

When I was little – maybe in 6th standard – we used to play this game called Lagori. Many of you have probably heard of it, played it even. It’s this violent game where some 6-10 kids get together with the explicit purpose of smacking the opponent team with a rubber ball. And we...
I don’t understand this whole Global Warming debate. Everyone is up in arms about how all that extra CO2 is making the earth warmer. Here’s my question: It’s a total fraud. Have you noticed how cold it is these days? I say global warming is a good thing. I think turning up the earth’s...
The 6th and 7th semester of college is popularly known as the GRE and CAT season. This is the time when perfectly normal people start getting worried about their future and doing silly things. Like studying for GRE, GMAT, CAT, Goat and whatnot. The whole atmosphere of the college changes. Before the season:Me: “Good...
