Elegance lies in simplicity

New beginnings... again.

Have you heard of the army-kids phenomenon? Okay, so that doesn’t exist and I totally made it up, but you know what I am talking about right? If parents keep shifting bases, the kids never seem to settle down either. This blog has shifted from shared JustHost server to

HashPix

Here’s why the blog has been silent all this while: I’ve been teaching myself software programming since last November and I’ve been pretty enthusiastic and rigorous about it all this while. Nothing big, just a bit of web-development using Django [https://www.djangoproject.com/] & Python [http:

Fine.

Just read an article on some news site and a very interesting bit jumped out at me: The fines in this country for flouting rules as a matter of day-to-day offences are ridiculously low. In fact, most netas and irresponsible fat-cats easily get away with paying amounts that are a

They say writers need to have a keen sense of observation. That writers need to be hyper-aware of what happens around them, all the time. They are right. Well, almost. You see, you only become hyper-aware of your surroundings once you become a writer. Until then, you only have a

The Secret Millionaire...

…is probably one of the best shows on Indian satellite TV at the moment. If you haven’t caught it yet, catch it on BBC Entertainment, weekdays at 10PM. The premise is this: You are a millionaire and your ‘mission’ is to find someone/some cause to ‘help’. To do
