1004. The game with two girls
I started watching the game of football as a kid and I was a big fan of the Brazilian team. Romario and Ronaldo the phenomenon were my favourite footballers. I have also been playing EA FIFA for many years. When I joined Zoho, the foosball tables in the campus caught my attention.

However the tables were always occupied by our employees during lunch hours. Some players literally s…
1003. Einstein vs Raju
Going with the flow. This ultimately seals victory for India. Einstein was born in Germany and he had multiple nationalities and at last, he became a US citizen. But our respected Scientific minister Sellur Raju sir is born and brought up in India. He is our pride and prejudice. He brought Laurels and Hardys to India through his discoveries and national geographical approaches to science and technology. The vanakkam by Einstein lacks strength, courage and moral support. However Raja sir’s vanakkam is sharp, focussed and shows the vigour o…

1000. How did I become a performance artist
After many years of loitering around in the blogging space, I have finally reached my 1000th post in this blog. There was a time I blogged every day. Now my interests have become so diverse that I don't even do one thing properly. The first thing I did before writing this 1000th post is change the template for this page. I am still old school.

We would always check the name of the movies that were about to be screened that week. My dad would enquire among his friends and his cousins whether the movies can be watched along with the family. Back then they…
