A worthy snack for Mr. Tarzan
Mr. Tarzan once himself admitted that this mixture was the source of his power. The guys at Disney failed to mention this in their movie.

Last weekend I did “nothing” and a small trek
Camp Linger, with its tagline “Do Nothing”, lives up to its advertisement. In a way, there is nothing to do but relax and enjoy the service that is provided. It is not much different from a resort. In fact, it is a resort with amenities that a backpacker might need and at a cost that … [Read more…]
An experiment in electronic / ambient music.
I have very limited means and even limited talent when it comes to music. I can’t play that well, I can’t play fast. Sometimes I fail to even play something in time (but I have improved a lot in the last five years). All I have are a guitar, the computer and some software (Reaper, Reason 5, … [Read more…]
Mumbai Confidential: A nice touch of noir
Mumbai Confidential is a graphic novel based on Mumbai Underworld. Written by Saurav Mohapatra and illustrated by Vivek Shinde, it tells the story of Arjun Kadam, an erstwhile police officer-turned-junkie. I picked it from a local bookstore on a whim. After the disappointing Devi (Ok! I mildly liked the first book.), I really did not … [Read more…]
A visit to the observatory at Yoga Nikaya

About two months ago I had mailed a copy of Duality video DVD to MTV Indies, which they never received. I had to mail a second copy. It turns out that even the second copy of Duality video DVD was misplaced. The above picture shows my third attempt at mailing the DVD to the correspondent … [Read more…]
My Top 10 Favourite Comic Books
Tintin in Tibet by Hergé : This is my absolute favourite book – comics or not. Maybe its the sense of adventure in a Himalayan setting, maybe its the story of friendship that echoes through the book or maybe its sheer nostalgia, the sixty-two pages contained within the jacket are therapeutic to me. Akira by Katsuhiro … [Read more…]
…and I thought sequels were only restricted to Movies and Video Games
I wonder where can I find its prequel. Also if I can find the sequel to Jha Dry Cleaners.
Why is Non Non Biyori categorised as Seinen?
In my opinion, Non Non Biyori should be the gold standard in slice-of-life genre. With its likable characters and soothing atmosphere, it definitely makes a pleasant watch no matter what my mood is. I had written about it soon after the anime was over. The show garnered a huge popularity in Japan. So much so … [Read more…]
Searching for Waldies replacement: Yak’s Kitchen
Ever since I left Kharagpur, I have been missing Waldorf’s food – or Waldies as would affectionately call it. It has been almost two and half years since I have tasted anything that is remotely close to Waldies[1]. After many outings to the “Chinese” and North-Eastern restaurants, I came across Yak’s Kitchen. Last weekend me … [Read more…]
