Mark of a T-School.

Posted on May 27, 2009 by wanderlust

(When there can be B-Schools, why not T-Schools? There’s more of a demand for them in India anyway. And it sounds way cooler than ‘Engineering College’. My lame attempt at introducing a new word into everyone’s vocabulary. Like bitchcakes.) There’s … Continue reading →

Yet another instance of irony.

Posted on January 14, 2009 by wanderlust

So I have a fair amount of good stuff on my comp thanks to NITK’s LAN. But if you have 10 GB of music, you surely cannot listen to everything regularly. I wanted to see what I’d been missing out … Continue reading →

Posted on September 5, 2008 by Tuna Fish

Just came back from my second Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia Concert. Distaste for the way this concert was being organized was ringing in the back of my head through out. I feel SPICMACAY ones would give it a run for its … Continue reading →

PJs

Posted on August 26, 2008 by wanderlust

I’m relatively new to the world of making poor jokes, pioneered and perfected by various others, including this guy and this guy, not to forget the Tronix class of ’08. I was recently surprised by the lines I come up with under duress … Continue reading →

Saying Goodbye

Posted on April 15, 2008 by wanderlust

I’ve thought and thought and thought some more on how to say farewell on my blog to the place that has been my home for the past four years. Should I mention each person I’ve known here individually? Just some … Continue reading →

NITK: First impressions

Posted on April 11, 2008 by wanderlust

I find I’ve not really talked about the wonderful place that is NITK much on this blog. I’ve talked about the life we’ve led here, the quirks, the travails we’ve had to face, the fun we’ve had during our fests, … Continue reading →

I’m amazed…

Posted on March 19, 2008 by wanderlust
