A few months ago, I had written a blurb about a book called “Stupid Guy Goes to India”. I had thoroughly enjoyed it. I have observed that I like books, shows and documentary that gives me an outsider’s view of my country (kind of like TheSurfingViolinist’s India adventures). This post is about its sequel – … [Read more…]
In this interview at Edinburgh book festival 2013, Neil Gaiman shares a lot of history regarding his venture into American Comics, anecdotes of times with DC and his thought process while creating Sandman.
Attack on Titan is now airing on Cartoon Network Adult Swim in US. As a result, the series has been dubbed. I must admit that this dub is very much above average (considering the poor quality rushed dub of most series). I agree that dubs are important.

I agree with most of the things he has outlined. I spend less time browsing through unsolicited junk. A deviation in … [Read more…]
I call the likes of me accidental cooks. When I moved out of college, I had no idea how to cook a proper meal. In due time, with some help from my friends and mom, I managed to scrape together edible concussions on my plate. Here are my tips to help you survive the ordeal. … [Read more…]
Some of my friends are either switching to cycle as their primary mode of transport (while most of them are busy looking for cars!). I often see people as being clueless to the whole notion.
