Goa Police’s New Anti-Terror Plan

Ridiculous is as ridiculous does. Usually I am not the sort to make comments about the police forces in general but this time I shall make an exception because…you’ll see why.
Traditionally Goan police are a lazy lot. They’re polite yes, not half as mean as Bangalore police, yes, but like the average Goan they do [...]

What happens when patterns of behaviour repeat themselves?
Pooja asked me this sometime last weekend and I am still not sure I answered her correctly. My first reaction was that it makes you a kid with a compulsive obsessive disorder, or obsessive, compulsive disprder, whatever is the right way of calling it, but then I [...]

What’s With Orkut?

Business

Went ahead and bought the game Business last evening after deciding on Saturday night that it was fun once upon a time (under the influence of rum, that decision). Played for four hours straight and won the game and damn, I do not remember if I had any strategy while playing it !! Tonight is [...]
