Published by Prasad Venkataramana on Sunday, May 15, 2011 at 2:06 PM. It's hard to get the take-me-not-serious tone.

The Stage is Set. Published by Prasad Venkataramana on Monday, April 16, 2007 at 10:36 AM. Today, I'm feeling grateful. What a journey it has been! From a cynic, to a cautious pessimist to a guarded optimist and the road hasn't been exactly rosy. I'm grateful for the thorns. Grateful, for what I am, what I have, what I haven't, what I've been, what I've been through, what I've lost, what I've gained, my friends, parents, acquaintances and colleagues. What?

The objective of the video game is to direct any crudely drawn closed figure that you draw to a crudely drawn star on the screen. But forget the objective - just observe your entities perfectly obey the laws of physics on the screen roads you've carved. May not be useful. But an enjoyable way to waste time. S a demo that you can try. Elite Prostitution and the Art of Listening. But this effect continues to exist in...

The Stage is Set. Filler Post, Apologies. Published by Prasad Venkataramana on Tuesday, December 04, 2007 at 8:47 AM. Just to fill my byte quota: I'm currently reading a couple of books 1) Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee. By the American scholar Jared Diamond. Brilliantly written - entertaining, informative and fascinating all at the same time. 2) How to Read Better and Faster. And Inarritu's Amorres Perros.
