Yak Pad 2.0

After much procrastination, here it is. The Yakpad 2.0 (beta). Runs on WordPress. Also, I’ve merged all my blogs into this one (tech writing blog, usability blog). This is a work in progress children.

Youmint.com deletes my account finally

You signed up for youmint.com. Imported your contacts from gmail or Orkut and sent invites to your friends. Suddenly, your friends start screaming at you ‘What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you sending the same youmint invite 10 times!’ Shock laga? I was stunned too when a few of my friends started […]

Five years of blogging

Feels like I ate a Bata shoe. But then again, this whole blogging thing has been good for me. I met a lot of interesting people. Made friends with quite a few of them. I am on the verge of getting published in the MSM. Hmmm. Sigh. It is not all that bad. Why do […]

Saket has a magic mirror

Read this and wondered why he did a Shilpa Shetty. Now I know. He has a magic mirror at home. No, no, ‘does a Shilpa Shetty’ does not mean he did her. Take a look at him; he himself wanks off blindfolded I think, leave alone someone sleeping with him. I can ask our apartment […]

IndiBloggies

A lot of people are sick of being nobody. A lot of people’s lives have been reduced to inconsequential chatter with their inconsequential […]

NDTV Interviews Ravages

I don’t know if it was my post or serendipity or providence but Alaphia chose to interview Ravages! Most journalists seem to have a problem with the possessive noun and pronoun. Hm.

BlogCamp Humour: BMK

On Sunday afternoon this dude started the session off with these immortal words:“Can you imagine a Bollywood without the big B? Can you imagine a Kollywood without Mr. Shivaji Ganesan? Can you imagine a BlogCamp without Kiruba Shankar?” sycophancy is cool in Tamilnadu. They built a temple for Khushbu a few years back, remember? So […]

Blogcamp Humour: Interview with a blogger

We felt left out that NDTV and CNN-IBN refused to acknowledge our presence. We were hoping some channel would give some air time, our moment of glory, youknowwhatIamsaying? But nada. Nothing. Alaphia of NDTV interviewed Kribs. We tried capturing her attention by hovering around when the interview was going on but she ignored us. Alaphia, […]
