Random Thoughts…
1) Nowadays, I am frequented by ‘Why take risk?’ by people(or more exactly, risk kyun lene ka?). People seem to advise that things need to settle down before you make any move (career/stock buying etc. etc.). What I do not understand is if everything becomes clear (and hence almost-risk-free), wouldn’t competition in huge numbers jump [...]
Favorite Movies
I have always loved movies. I was 8 when I first watched ‘The Young Master’ in a movie theater. With the subsequent cable and internet revolution, I was watching more and more good and bad movies. The following is a list of movies which I remember at the top of my head and which have [...]
Faulty Atheism Articles
I came across two articles on Atheism recently from two different, but reputed authors. One from Jug Suraiya in Times of India.

Hola!
So, yeah. I apologise. For what, you ask? Well, for people who didn’t notice, I apologise for not enlightening your minds with my blogposts For people who did notice, I was going through a unique meta-state where ‘everything was happening and nothing was happening, eventually leading to a static null and void state of mind’.

The plight of 26/11 – courtesy, Moron Media productions
Misogyny and barbarism in the guise of a holy war took an ugly turn on 26/11/2008 when 10 terrorists rocked Mumbai with their heinous strategies and merciless killing.
