Good Bye, Michael Jackson

MJ

It was my friend’s elder brother’s room where I first saw Michael Jackson’s big poster. I remember it was the cover poster of Michael Jackson’s album BAD. I thought my friend’s brother was crazy. But then my friend told me his brother was MJ fan and I had laughed. That time, cable TV had just entered India (I guess) and I’d try to understand & enjoy MTV songs. Most of them didn’t make sense (and still don’t). However, I really [...]

Oh No, Mr. Nilekani!

by The Big K on June 25, 2009

Nandan Nandan Yes Kaka Bored with Infy? No Kaka Telling Lies? No Kaka Numbering People? Ha ha ha!! So folks – the news is out. Nandan Nilekani is quitting Infosys – the company he co-founded with N.R. Narayana Murthy and others. To me, this is a smart move by Mr. Nilekani as he approaches retirement age at Infosys. I found out that Mr. Nilekani will be heading a government project that aims to uniquely identify Indian Citizens. I’m still wondering [...]

The following image is the best optical illusion I’ve seen so far. Trust me, you won’t believe this; and I’m not kidding.

India Vision 2020 and you

by The Big K on June 18, 2009

Hey YOU! I am talking to – Y O U! Don’t look anywhere. I am talking to YOU! You are reading superblog. That means, you aren’t doing anything productive. Obviously, you are not concerned and aware of India’s Vision 2020 except that it’s something associated with Dr. Kalam. The person next to you is browsing Orkut. He/She is also not bothered about Vision 2020. None of your friends is bothered about Vision 2020. So, who’s going to turn the Vision [...]

Facebook is shifting to its new office which has about 150,000 sq.ft. and will be playground for FB’s 1000+ employees. I’ve been drooling over these photographs (not that FB’s got the best office in the world, but..still…). You know what, I’m going to build an office better than this. Watch me.

WordPress 2.8: Visual Editor Problem

by The Big K on June 16, 2009

If you have recently upgraded you blog to latest wordpress 2.8, like I did; chances are that you don’t see visual editor buttons. Don’t panic. Just clear your browser cache and login again. If that doesn’t work, shift to Google Chrome, like I did. -The Big K-

Where am I?

by The Big K on June 13, 2009

The best place to find me these days is marriage receptions – somewhere near the food counters. I’ll have about 2-3 or max 4 food items in my dish so that I don’t have to pay much attention to balancing the dish over the tissue paper. I know, that’s a smart act. Lately, I’ve made few observations about myself. There are typical I follow in any marriage reception hall. For example, I ignore the crowd and pick up the cucumber [...]
