“Oh God, they go apeshit over bubbles. I mean, that’s an incredible thing about a child. What’s so great about bubbles? I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles. It’s totally sad; their smiling faces point out your inability to enjoy anything.” Pete (Paul Rudd) in Knocked Up

I only threw one [...]


Tell me your dreams, right now. No, I don’t want a shitty plot summary of the Sidney Sheldon book but a tear-inducing account of your own dreams. Were the dreams in which you were dying the best you ever had? Did you abandon your dream of becoming a veterinarian to live life working in a [...]


Sometimes, I feel ashamed of myself. I am 21 and I have never been in a real fight. Sure. there was this time when I was in the college cafeteria and two nimrods were engaging in a pansy-ass Nancy-fight bringing a disgrace to the name of young, hot-blooded Indian Muslim Males everywhere. I grabbed one [...]


The big problems in my country are food, clean water, female infanticide, an exceedingly moronic populace, ultra-conservatives, quasi-liberals, stable ripple-free electricity, bandwidth, ridiculous markup on Geforce & Radeon GPUs, that thing they call rights, corruption, tax evasion, insurance fraud, douchebags in government and sanitation.

I’m delirious from drinking too much Kool Aid and the 38°C ambient temperature in my house so I will put an embarrassing factoid out into the public domain.
I have no idea where my career is headed, I live with my parents and I repel women so easily, you might think I wear my ‘My ex-wife [...]


At 8:45PM tonight, I will be embarking upon a trip to Bandipur National Park with the resident crazies of the gang:

Mustafa ‘Jules’ Nusrath
Nishank ‘Nashua’ Reddy
Shahrukh Mehdi Khan

The four of us, 66 tigers and a whole lot of Asiatic elephants, barking deer and all other sorts of flying and stalking critters. This is going to be [...]


I made a pact to quit smoking a few nights ago – I even intend to document it in this thread. Barely a week later I feel half-dead already. Remember that scene in Half-Baked where Bob Saget says, “Marijuana is not an addiction. I used to suck dick for coke. That is an addiction. Would [...]


A lot has happened in my life recently, most of it involving the people over at Anandtech’s Off-Topic Forums.
Richard Smith aka acemcmac died at the age of 21, hit by a drunk driver in the wee hours of the morning. Around 24 hours before his death, he had made the following thread:
I saw the sunrise [...]


I hate attention-whores because I used to be one. That is mildly weird because I don’t recall ever hating myself. Unfortunately, the only kind of attention a person can manipulate into their personal space is always a negative one. I gave up on whoring myself out to the masses because I wanted to cleanse my [...]


Those who know me well are aware of my tendency to muse over silly little almost-incidents from bygone eras and grin a silly grin – perhaps chuckle from deep down the cockles of my heart while my clueless and hapless audience agrees whole heartedly with yours truly: ‘Fo shizzle my nizzle, they concur – but [...]
