I was sitting at work today when one of the greatest phenomenons of modern times happened. It was the 27th of February, the last working day of the month. It is that time of the month when your employer acknowledges your existence, through a directed movement of electrons through the internet and the banking...
It is well known that the internet is full of nonsense. Most web pages, comments and blogs are full of rants and extra ordinary acts of stupidity. I mean, I don’t understand how the internet takes all this crap from humans? Don’t the electrons sigh and weep when they see all the kinds of nonsense bloggers these...
Yes. Gmail was down for a while earlier today. Thank you to all those of you that felt the need to ping me and let me know. And special thanks to those that felt the need to explicitly call me and tell me. I was not busy with any crisis at all. Without you,...
WTF??!? There. That’s my whole review of this movie. WTF?!? I mean what the hell is going on with this movie? The whole thing sounds like a moral science lecture. Start to finish. This entire movie is a Moral Science revision lesson from 6th standard. This movie makes no sense at all. At any...
A friend of mine got married recently, and before he jumped into the dark abyss that is euphemistically called “married life”, he came to me to ask for some advice. Seeing that I have some experience at this marriage thing, he thought it would be a good idea. Ha! For a minute, I experienced...
My dear public, I was on my first class Singapore Airlines flight to Hong Kong for my bi-weekly vacation when I heard about Satyam’s so-called fraud. This is a big tragedy for all of us, especially me. I’ll have to cut my vacation short and come back to my office to reassure my employees,...
Bollywood never makes the movies that I want to watch. My ideal movie would star Altaf Raja singing his soporific songs, his wife then gets frustrated and kills him. He is then reborn as Himesh Reshamia and comes back and avenges his death in the previous birth by singing to her, and she dies...
The Wife and I recently were on a vacation in the Maldives. Beautiful country – Lovely beaches, resorts on private islands, a villa on the beach and all that, but that wasn’t what was fun about the vacation. It seems that the whole country is just about 1 meter above sea level. And that...
Update: Before/After image added at the end! The Wife ordered me to get a haircut the other day. I usually follow orders, but with this particular order, I was hesitant. You see, I hate going to barbers. I have this (somewhat unreasonable, but highly plausible) feeling that barbers are agents of an alien army,...
With so much fear mongering and news coverage about the global financial crisis, I thought I should step in and make it clear to my readers what is really happening. When things go wrong on an epic, never-seen-before scale, you can always rely on the Pointless Wanderings blog to bring some clarity, continuity and...
We eagerly popped in the Basic Instinct Video CD into the computer driver, and eagerly started up the computer to watch what was rumored to be the greatest movie of all time. But the computer just frustrated us. It was too slow to...
