There exists some relationship between environmental chaos and creativity/productivity which scientists may not have conclusive evidence to agree upon but I strongly suspect it.

#30thingsabout me is now trending on twitter. I like list-posts though this is the first one on my blog. 1) The first series I’ve read completely was St. Clare’s by Enid Blyton when I was 8 years old and have wanted a twin since then. 2) Still haven’t read the last book of Harry Potter.… [Read more…]

Who doesn’t love ads? Even though they bug the flow of an interesting show, break your TV hypnotized state during a climax, they are entertaining no less! Art has no language. However, more than music or a movie, it’s easier to watch an Ad in any language, at least for me. I have absolutely no… [Read more…]

“Does your Hindi have a Tamil accent to it?” I Swear, I don’t know. I had Hindi for 8 years in school and I’ve never tried to speak it so I don’t if I speak it with a Tamil accent. I guess I don’t, at least I can manage to say “come on yaar” and… [Read more…]

Roomie 1: What the hell ! They give such limited food and the rent for just half a room is more than that of a flat! What’s the rent for a single Non-A/c room in the hostel? Rs. 10K? Roomie 2 : Yup. Guess Tihar Jail is better. Single Cell. Rent free accommodation. Roomie 1:… [Read more…]

When I moved into hostel about a year back, my innocence was as pure as a lamb. One year at hostel has readied me for the big bad world outside. Being Tamil, in particular, calls for special skills as Kadalai is very popular around here. Even though she’s not Tamil my room mate loves Kadalai… [Read more…]

The ringing cell phone filled me with dread. Glancing at the traffic cop, I excused myself to ignore the call. The fuel assistant returned my change and I drove away slowly least mindful of the impatient biker behind. The school now had a gate and higher wall around it.
