Of late my life seems to exist as little clusters of thought which are formed every week, and slowly collate to form some theme of sorts. This time it is the turn of God, to be paraded through my blog, whether he wills it or not.
Religion is, I think, the next most talked off topic, [...]

Time to call in the bets
Posted in Formula 1, I Me Myself on June 7, 2007 | 1 Comment »
My previous post on Formula 1, painted a certain dilemma in my mind regarding my allegiance in this season, after the ground breaking deals and a certain retirement, at the start. With four races behind the start line, its time to throw in my hat too.
Human mind as a system – II
Posted in I Me Myself, Life, Mind, Philosophy, Religion on June 2, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I really enjoyed writing the first part of this series.
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. – Sir Francis Bacon
That quote wouldn’t sound more true to me now than ever. Writing reinforces ideas and helps develop more correlation between the various suspended discrete thoughts. So I decided to [...]
Human mind as a system
Posted in Engineering, I Me Myself, Life, Mind, Philosophy, Religion on June 1, 2007 | 2 Comments »
There have been separate incidents which have led me on to write a post like this. Actually I like to think of things like these. I do not know how objective or perceptive I am being doing so, but still I think it is the worth the time and energy spent to type it out [...]
Pain
Posted in Life, Love, Philosophy, Poems on May 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Loss, defeat, fight or strife
Pain is but another facet of life
Another gift of our wise creator
Giving a view of truth- the greater.
Let me cherish it
To its very last bit.
For I don’t know when next
Life would appear clear, not vexed.

Away
Posted in Life, Love, Poems on May 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
She goes away
Like the rains of May
Never to return again
Unlike the November rain
I do deserve this numbing pain
No one to blame, nothing to explain
Not even like the cold November rain.

Of Elven Forests and RTS gaming
Posted in Games, Style on April 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I changed the theme on this page again. The new header image struck me distinctly and the first thoughts which flooded my mind reminded me of an Elven forest. Elves are my favorite creatures in The Lord of The Rings (LOTR). Yes the Hobits are merry making and peace loving, the Dwarves are stout and [...]
Confessions of an Urban Indian Youth
Posted in I Me Myself, India on April 16, 2007 | 1 Comment »
In one’s lifetime we meet only a few select people who make impressions on us, that instantly mould us. Mohit, my mentor at IIT in my first year, was one of those rare people I got to meet. A man of extraordinary brilliance, infinite humility and above all a vichardheen who keenly sought answers [...]

With Byom babu, in a stroll through time.
Posted in India, Society, Television on March 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A fateful day, a mistyped search word and I find myself with about 10 episodes of vintage ‘Byomkesh Bakshi‘. It was a case of ‘Old wine in old bottle’ with the print being sub-standard. But hey I wasn’t complaining. The theme song that plays while the credits roll at the start, instantaneously brought back the [...]
Lan Ban and the Media Van
Posted in Computers, IIT, India, Life, Society on March 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Fortnight stale news:
After a long trial, fiercely discussed and furiously contested, the axe finally came down on the internet usage in the IITB campus, sometimes referred to as LAN Ban. The details of the judgement passed by the responsible authorities convey that all inter and intra net facilities extended to the hostel rooms of students [...]
Her Soft Seduction
Posted in Love, Poems on February 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
She visits my mind
Incessant like the tides.
Whispers nothing
And yet time just slides.
Smiles like an angel
Dances around as a fairy.
I feel I am lying on a
Dewy meadow in a prairie.
I bare my soul to her
Merely looking into her eyes.
For once, unaffected
I am not behind any guise.
Wouldn’t call it love
For the word wouldn’t suffice
To capture my bliss
Her [...]
Reality
Posted in Life, Love, Philosophy, Poems, Society on January 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Fate needs no rendition.
Our love no fruition.
Joy needs no manifestation.
Society no explanation.
Reality is but an illusion.
For those with weak vision.
For truth is in mind’s creation.
And the soul’s levitation.
Transient Joys
Posted in Love, Poems on January 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I have left our town behind.
But you are still in my mind.
I travel alone through the day.
But its like with you in a sleigh.
I sleep in the still of the night.
Only to dream of your sight.
Looking at these lovely flowers.
I remember those precious hours.
Around me there is a lot of noise.
I sit calm, feeling transient [...]
The Recipe of Success
Posted in Poems on January 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The following is the unedited version of a poem I wrote long back. 4 years, it’s been. Its rather long, so just a couple of lines here.
….Its a world of fluctuating fortunes
In seconds oceans become sand dunes….
That is the Almighty’s and elders’ blessings
That act as gorgeous garnished dressings…..
Follow the following link for the full poem.
