February 17, 2010

On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, I’ve put up a bunch of new thingies to aspire to the coming year- most are next to impossible.

Kung Hei Fat Choi, everyone!


These are all the special cases. They’re a little more personal than the others.

Weekend Adventures 11

January 29, 2010

This weekend, I went to Jaipur, where I was forced to eat this:

drink this:

and stare hypnotically at things like this:

I also met these guys. Bunch of writers, apparently. Nice people.

2009

January 2, 2010

So, 2009.

Here’s how it compared to the year before.

Moments of complete and utter clarity
- The ‘Unlimited Momos’ lunch at Yum Yum Tree. Their cappucino ice-cream + mud pie dessert is to die for.

- The four all nighters I remember:

1. Playing Guitar Hero / Rock Band that involved me belting out Radiohead’s Creep at 5 in the morning
2. Reading CHina Mieville’s City & The City
3. Watching Season 5 of The Wire with the room-mate
4. Back to back games of  Settlers of Catan with L, KK, RR and N.

- Arriving in Delhi, and being able to send the ‘Hey, I’m back. Let’s meet up?’ message again.

- Watching Avial live in concert. Jumping up and down, screaming in pseudo-Malayalam with atleast a 1000 other people.

- Buying KK’s purple inflatable mace, his subsequent misplacement of purple mace, and the thought of a purple mace blocking traffic on one of Chennai’s arterial roads (though it should be a ‘veinal road’ since it being people to the heart of the city, no?)

- This.

- In Corbett, on a jeep – watching a herd of Elephants lazing about on the grassland.

(atrociously enhanced photo by the much-missed AM)

- making Paneer Jangpuri

- Ponyo on the Cliff By the Sea


- Buying my tiny bookshelf and filling it up!

- finishing the Arrested Development inspired cover to the first book filled with my silly comic scribbles (I’ll upload them all as soon as I have access to a scanner. Promise)

Here’s a closeup of the cast of characters:

Moments of complete and utter despair:
(not going to dwell on this very much)

- Going back home.

- The three months at my second job. Three whole months. I can’t believe I survived.

- In retrospect, this.

- Being evicted suddenly, and standing out A’s house at 10 PM, all my luggage in hand, waiting for her to come back home.

Happy 2010, everyone!

A Year of Sottai

December 25, 2009

It’s been exactly a year since Sottai started.

I know, I can hardly believe it myself.

Thank you, everyone.

(Gifts and stuff will be posted over the next few days.)

The City & The City

Weekend Adventures 8

November 4, 2009

This weekend, I ran!

The Delhi marathon was fun, but hardly a marathon. It was less a race and more ‘shuffling-through-a-large crowd.’ Behold:

It was also the site for some clever advertising tie-ins, like this one at the finish line:

Afterwards, I went to a concert:

and saw a Vigilante on the streets of Delhi:
