Chitradeep Chetty and the Physics Lab

January 21, 2008

Back in the College, we had this torturous thing called the Physics Lab. We were supposed to do physics “experiments” in the lab and learn from it. But these were not so much experiments as they were “fudge the readings till you get the right answer” exercises, and we were pretty good at it....

My (short-lived) Stamp Collection

Back when I was a kid, my dad was really worried about me. He wanted to see me as a ‘complete person’ and as an ‘all-rounder’. I just wanted to buy the latest tinkle and WWF cards. This, as you can imagine, let to lots of “conflicts-of-interest” between us. Dad: “There are bigger things...

Interview with Me!

January 18, 2008
By

A fellow blogger, Sundar Rajan, made the mistake of inviting me for an interview on his blog. I said some really dense things like “Art is the side effect of someone’s passion” and other absurdities like that. Head over to his blog to read the full interview. You will not be disappointed!

How to introduce yourself to Girls!

January 10, 2008

The 1-hour torture called ‘Chemistry lab’ is finally over. I’m always glad to get out of the Chemistry lab, because it makes me feel like a witch mixing all those acids and salts and whatnot together. And a bad witch at that, because my potion never turns out quite the color it should. Anyway,...

By

Earlier this year, I had resolved to see what could be done to avoid watching all the top-10 worst movies this year again. I discussed the situation with the wife, and she skillfully convinced me that it is my own fault that the movies are bad. Not only that, she also proved to me...

My Universal Notebook

January 3, 2008
By

Back in school, they had this really weird concept of maintaining a different notebook for each subject. Not just one notebook, but several per subject – Home Work, Class Work, Neat Work and whatnot. I didn’t believe in this system. Instead, I just had this one 200-pages long note book that I called the...

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2008
By

This new year started with a bang for me. Literally. Since this was the first new year since the wife and I got married, I thought it would be cute if we exchanged gifts on new year’s day. I made a big fuss about how the gifts had to be thoughtful and how the...

This year in review

December 26, 2007
By

I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already! Didn’t this year feel especially short? I think we might have missed some months. I don’t remember experiencing a June or a February. We might have skipped those two. I’ve got to go and check the calander again! Anyhow, it’s that time of the...

I was flipping through one of the wife’s magazines the other day and I came across an interesting article. The article was about the top 10 flop Bollywood movies of the year. So I’m reading through it, and I’m like ‘Haha…yeah, that was pretty bad…Haha…yeah, that one sucked too…Hoho..Yeah, that one. What was the...

Tennis!

December 22, 2007
By

I’ve started to enjoy playing Tennis. I suck at it, but that doesn’t stop me from playing anyway. It’s like an addiction. But my other friends don’t seem to enjoy it as much. They say I’m not a “Good Sport”. Ha! I think they’re just being bad losers. You decide for yourself: So last...
