Sale Shopping in San Francisco
I spent last saturday in San Francisco. A fashion-savvy blogger buddy of mine forwarded me an invitation to The Warehouse Sale. I figured that my saturday was pretty much empty + I was planning to go to San Francisco anyway, so why not take a look… The sale was on in a huge ballroom in [...]
Taking Back a Twitter Comment on American Television
Taking Back a Twitter Comment on American Television Yesterday, I tweeted that American television is a very strange beast. Couple of questions then bounced back asking why. Well, I guess I need to undo that statement. You see, I am not a regular or even occasional TV watcher. If physically forced to sit down (times [...]

Vampires on my Mind
Last weekend, I flew into San Francisco. I am in the US for work for 2 weeks, and I am having a pretty great time. The cool and breezy weather here is a wonderful change after the sultry sweatiness of Bangalore. The hotel is great, the people I work with are real friendly, and in [...]

Cross – A Book Review
Everyone needs to read something a little mind-numbing from time to time, right? After the mammoth The Brothers Karamazov, I really needed to read something very light. And to a great extent, Cross fits the bill. Cross is one in a series of books written by James Patterson, and is arguably the most popular of [...]
The Brothers Karamazov – The Finale
After the pace and excitement of part III, I went into part IV with great expectations. Unfortunately, the book does not quite deliver. I expected a lot more from Dmitri’s trial. I found these sections (the speeches from the prosecutor and the defense attorney) to be very tedious, with too much speculation, and psychology. All [...]
Been Lucky to Catch Two Excellent Movies on TV
I normally don’t get to see any good movies on television, primarily because Mr.K’s tastes have never evolved beyond Jackie Chan and monster movies. However, 2 weeks back I was able to take advantage of K’s cold medication (causing him to sleep all day before magically awakening at the start of IPF finals ) to [...]
