The Reign of Pain

Its disgraceful how no city in India is good enough to cope with a rare torrential rain. The rain has placed everyone in house arrest; schools are closed, shops are closed, roads are submerged, and little islets the only refuge for unfortunate pedestrians; totally exposing the embarrassing lapses in the quality of infrastructure that this country has. And is the DMK through with gifting cheap television sets..?.. because I’d say its time build some roads around here. Atleast lets have the city’s regular functions go on. I can’t believe the people of this blessed place voted for televisions and computers instead of power, infrastructure, and getting bloody rid of the LTTE. I don’t think the multinational companies would be interested in setting up high precision and quality manufacturing units in a friggin swamp, no matter how cheap the labor is.Meanwhile, I think Saurav Ganguly is a real asshole. I mean what the fuck is that Pepsi advertisement! He seems to be routing for a sympathy spot in a team which is bad enough. I guess the big question is — Does Indra Nooyi know about this?

My exams are on. Just finished taking 3 big practical examinations. Now I sit tight and wait for those awesome theory papers. I can’t say enough about how interesting this semester has been. Some papers have captivated me a great deal.

The new article has been posted in ‘Passing Showers.’ Its called “Interrupt” and only because I didn’t quite know what else to call it. Happy reading!

As for regular posting, there should be something after Diwali sometime.

Tied Up

Just thought I’d do something before there are missing entities in the blog archive. The promised article is still in drafting; been way too busy. Which also leads me to think that I probably started this thing only because I had a lot of time on my hands(in hostel).

But the first two years of this Engineering syllabi were not as demanding as it is now. Meanwhile, I changed the template. WordPress guys have been gifting these quite regularly, and I have been switching to newer, more elegant ones ever since.

North Korea is proving to be a bit of a handful for the United States. I quite like it. So the North Korean leaders have also taken some hints from our man Ahmedinejad , who said in an interview that Bush must change his foreign policies. The world cannot see his stature diminishing on a regular basis like it is now.
