back in action, and something new

January 27, 2010

The reason why there were lesser posts the past week was a technical issue with my laptop. Its all fixed now, and great things can again be expected. Though this post is not about any of that. It is about something I initiated during my carefree phone-tweeting yesterday. What right now might just be in [...]

a bitter sweet feeling

January 5, 2010

Terrence Howard, Peter O’Toole, Tommy Lee Jones and Frank Langella have something in common. All of them were nominated for the Academy Awards (Oscars) but did not win. That does not undermine their talent, or importance. Something that could certainly undermine it would be if they were not invited for the mega event. Imagine a [...]

India vs Australia 2nd ODI top tweets

October 28, 2009

Deccan Chargers are bored

September 5, 2009
