The Love of my Life

Word count: 405 | Estimated time to read entry: 6 min

The title would inspire most people to think of a person; few and far are those who would think of an object or animal. And I don’t know what to say for myself as I fall in neither of these categories. [...]

You can’t blame me for hit rate manipulations ;)

It’s been a while since I last updated my blog. Frankly speaking, I am busy and typing out a long chunk of text doesn’t appeal to me anymore especially when I have foreign movies, Sci-fi novels and PSP games as alternatives. And when bloggers run [...]

I’m on parade, silly

Blore bores

Bangalore.
