You can find it at Goodal Central. I will continue to keep this account though. chances are, I shall be making most of my posts from the new blog. Cheers http://kowiks.blogdrive.com/comments?id=54 http://kowiks.blogdrive.com/archive/53.html Wed, 15 Feb 2006 17:16:20 GMT For Reva- who has wanted to know how the concert was like for almost two weeks. For Fraud- who actually enjoys reading my concert reviews. After managing to arrange 8 tickets for a colleague, Chandu, my uncle Sam, his friend Srikanth Nadamuni and I set off to catch Jethro Tull at IIMB. My uncle and his friend had also caught Jethro Tull previously in 1989 in San Francisco. Although it was quite a coup for the organizers of Unmaad to land Jethro Tull for a college fest; it was not the first time it happened as Jethro Tull had performed before at IIT Madras in 1985 which was also seen by my...

The chance to do something not too many people get the oppurtunity to. Come September, will I be ready to make the final jump? I am: apprehensive P.S. A heartening thought is Dittie moving to Bangalore.

But having been tagged by Kate, i shall actually go on to describe the 8 qualities of my perfect(yet imaginary) lover. Eight qualities of the perfect louver(louvely dove as they would say in Kannada slang).. 1. Must be a nice girl. That seems so goddamn trite it isn't funny. but then must be able to deal with venting and insecurities which will be brought up constantly. Must also not take away the TV remote when the sports channel is on. Nice like that, no!! 2. She must...

No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. 1. Alice In Chains & Pearl Jam- Alone This song is nice because I love Layne Staley's nasal twang and supported by Vedder's backing vocals on acoustic guitars, it's an absolute beauty. It is one of my all time favourites. 2. Jal- Aadat This sing has sadly been ripped off in the Mahesh Bhatt movie 'Kalyug'. But the slow version isreally nice and the fact that it is...

But, I'm spending it at the office. Working. It's my first night out in office and there is some cheap thrill which arises from putting night out in the office even though you might bitch to everyone else about how hard you're working and all. so, please to be noting point. My colleagues and I have decided to take a break for half an hour and resume at two thirty after a well- deserved coffee break! So, i decided that i shall blog. I've enrolled myself in a gymnasium to ostensibly lose weight. But the real highlight of the...

He was trying to write his blog posts for his audience as a couple of his posts were picked up by Indian Uncut and DesiPundit. He felt that his posts were becoming far less frequent and he wasn’t writing for the joy of it anymore. I felt that sometime too. But then one tries to be the best at everything one does. I even wanted greater blog hits and more comments above all else. But that is all passé. I wanted to write about a few things, which bothered me, and writing about them will...

Sharing a bond born of blood, fire and secrets, this rite has always served as man's anchor in this maelstrom of a world. RRRRiigghhtt! The New Year is just another excuse for underage guys to get legally shitfaced! And New Years, 2006 was no different. But the question that cripples me is how does one...

You recognise the song and you're slowly tring to place the song. The words come back to you slowly and you grope for more. You piece the words one by one . In the process you're reliving a memory of the past. You find the words to the song, you exult. It is similar to meeting an old friend after a long time. You piece your happy times together and you catch up. There is the joy. The lyric and the friend together at last. It reminds me of this beautiful lyric 'Death continues, To stop us, Sometimes gently, mostly...

This is the first time I've been tagged. So let's see if you find something about me which you didn't already know The 10 step guide to Kausha - How can I tell if you are angry? Well I usually tend to be rather quiet and tend to shut off. A far cry from my usual talkative self. If I meet you for the first time and i'm that quiet, ignore it! I'm rather shy as well - How do you want me to behave when you are hurting emotionally? How is it best to comfort you? A hug helps and yeah, someone to have a beer with. Ze...
