http://pratiloma.blogspot.com/2009/01/laffaire-satyam-and-my-thoughts.html
Occasional, curmudgeonly, arrogant, pretentiously against-the-grain non-commodity points of view - oh well, rants, if you will. Thursday, January 08, 2009. L'affaire Satyam and my thoughts. There seems to be so much negative news flying around causing a whole lot of damage and waste of time - to everyone concerned. One does not need to be in denial mode though. Feel free to read and comment. At the slightest sign of trouble but difficult (but endlessly confidence inspiring) to take a stand and defend.

Occasional, curmudgeonly, arrogant, pretentiously against-the-grain non-commodity points of view - oh well, rants, if you will. Thursday, August 14, 2008. The story of 'Maan Dhonia'. And so, in one of our trips to Thekambattu. Anyway, I brought it back and promptly murdered it in my 'urban' Bengalooru garden patch. At this point, I must admit to my general gardening Credo:. Let 'em eat sun/soil/air/water'. And leave me alone! But then I was quite curious about the plant. It is really sad that Kothamalli ...

In spite of what Douglas Hofstadter has to say about music (on as to why we love it), groups like Pink Floyd seem to have been able to make some good music that is likely to live far beyond the bands or their members. A few weeks back, I chanced upon this. Sometimes the cello's tempo was an issue (the pressure on the...

Where do I even begin; with the vast resources at the command of Hollywood and the incredible availability of a readymade masterpiece (actually this does not even begin to describe Shichinin no Samurai.

Occasional, curmudgeonly, arrogant, pretentiously against-the-grain non-commodity points of view - oh well, rants, if you will. Monday, December 29, 2008. Jai Jawan, Jackie Chan. Was visiting a few orchards (off Bagalur and Devanahalli (around Bangalore) and was exchanging notes with some farmers and gardeners - to the extent to which my broken Kannada and Telegu would allow. By our friendly neighbourhood. But when my pal at Bagalur said that he applies Jackie Chan. Fertilizer to his Cucumber fields, I w...

Occasional, curmudgeonly, arrogant, pretentiously against-the-grain non-commodity points of view - oh well, rants, if you will. Tuesday, February 03, 2009. I chanced upon a short article in 'Outlook' - an otherwise execrable (Indian) magazine - in the 'waiting room / lounge' of a local dentist; this article talked about how good this Daniyal guy is and stuff and I got curious. (there was also a pic of him that would qualify him as a veritable 'hunk! Another interesting thing that Daniyal captures is the ...

Occasional, curmudgeonly, arrogant, pretentiously against-the-grain non-commodity points of view - oh well, rants, if you will. Saturday, November 15, 2008. Julia Vinograd and Bubbles. Dunno how popular this poetess and bubblerina is, with the small group of readers of this journal. But Julia (a student of the legendary Gary Snyder), IMO has written poems with effortless ease and incredible depth, even as she continued (continues? To blow bubbles across Berkeley, to amuse children and annoy 'adults.'.
