The evergreen song that reminds us that, no matter how uniquely different we are, how we can all unite and stand together as one. This was brought to my attention recently through a FB post an old friend of mine made. Enjoy the cultural diversity exhibited in the song, blended together beautifully [...]

Dear Archana,
I want to apologize for my behavior last night. I lose control of myself every time I get on the red Poltergust 4000. It pumps my adrenaline and I want to drive as fast as I can bumping into everything that comes in the way. I agree that I should not have dropped all [...]

After a long and hard week of work, weekends usually mean getting some rest and catching up with the rest of the world. Being grad students means working on the weekends sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be the same as a weekday, so we can take it easy. I actually like to start working [...]

I can’t say this enough, but life has been busy in the past couple of years. I am really ashamed to say that I haven’t had time to read any books other than textbooks, journals and papers. I love to read and I decided that I will spend at least one hour every day doing [...]

Jagadish has long insisted I read ‘Gone with the Wind’. It was also made into an Academy-Award winning movie whose re release poster you see above. It’s a book he absolutely adores, and I never had any real interest in the so-called classics. I love mystery, thrillers, and some comic relief. Yet, he persuaded me [...]

Valentine’s Day is a day invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap.
–Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s an amazing movie with some brilliant lines that resonate through some good acting by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. It is one [...]

A very happy new year to all of you. So this new year, me and archana have decided to start up something new in addition to the blog we have here. I am a huge fan of web comics. I am not talking of the regular Sunday newspaper comic strips like Dilbert or Calvin and [...]
