Python and the Boa Constrictor
I had a real weird day at work yesterday. I am stuck doing this piece of code that simply refuses to get into my head. I also have this deadline before which I need to complete the code and deliver since I will be on vacation next week. To add to all this, there are other things in Python that I want to try out and simply not getting sufficient time to do so. This time crunch has been running for over a week now. Sorry – I am not complaining.. this is something I can manage. What I cant is – while I am busy with my Muggle things,…

A little drama is required
Being an Indian, I can totally bet that you can just never get enough of drama. You may hate it yet you can’t escape it. I think that we are wired in a way that from time to time, we do need to refill our drama quotient. Of course it takes different amount of time for different persons for the drama quotient to get empty. Someone’s drama quotient may last for one month while someone else’s may last just a week. Don’t get me wrong here. I am not saying that Indians do not appreciate good cinema. On the contrary, drama is probably the least appreciated genre of cinematic content…

Guys and their hair
I love my hair. For the love of God and Satan combined, I do. I don’t care if I don’t wash my face one day but I care deeply if something happens to even one strand on my head. I like them long and strong. Of course it means that I try a lot of oils and shampoos. Sometimes, actually most times, it doesn’t help. But then again often I wonder what would I do with my long hair? As in currently I do have sufficiently long hair but every time I wash them, I don’t have any option but to keep them open or to tie a braid. Those…

Some Harry Potter things : How Neville became Professor
After the battle of Hogwarts, Aberforth had become a special advisor for the trio. They didn’t call him their friend since he always advocated the Devil and in his own special way, helped them to see the flaw in their actions. However they didn’t anticipate that Aberforth was now accessible to many people. His name had helped him fet acquinted and respected by people. On one of their visits to Aberforth, Harry, Ron and Hermione found Neville in the drawing room. Neville had a couple of books in his hands and looked rather, well, Neville! Neville’s tremendous display of courage at the battle had given him the confidence he had…

Simply curious
I am not promoting or endorsing anything but I use this Wynk app to listen to music. Its got a fairly huge list of songs and I am more or less able to find all songs I want to listen to! It gets a little annoying with respect to the ads – ofcourse I can always pay to get rid of them! Off late they have come up with this ad of theirs which displays when you open the app or while the ad is playing.. and its pretty amusing! Now I am wondering if they already have lakha of people who have upgraded to their premium annual membership –…

The life of Hermione Jean Granger Weasley :: The spinning toothbrush
In addition to being the Minister of Magic, Hermione was also the mother of two Weasley children who grew up with other Weasley children and three Potter children. It was such a struggle to ensure her children learned to make the right choice that she sometimes considered that being the minister was the easier than being the mother. Worst happened when her husband took fancy of spending more time with his brother George as the Weasley Wizarding Wheezes became uncontrollably popular and Hugo started accompanying his father on frequent trips to the store. While Hermione’s daughter Rose had taken after her, Hugo had somehow taken after Peeves – or so…

I did the unimaginable !!!!!
Life is all about extending your comfort zone.. going out there in the unknown and mastering it. It is very simple to do something you know but it is extremely difficult to make something you don’t know, simple. Well naturally, blogging is something that comes naturally to me. It gives me immense pleasure to pen down (type) my thoughts and let them generate a flow of imagination. Yet, sometimes.. just one of those times.. I like to venture into the unknown and do what I don’t usually do. This time, I did something really unimaginable!! The story begins that due to some really amazing mobile network providers (sarcasm .. since…

Writes of what to write and what not to write
Recently reading a lot of emails (because that is what I do), I realized that there is no correct or incorrect way to perform written communication. If you are a student, all the letters that you have written and the formats that you have learnt, apparently you shall forget them as soon as you start working i.e. be of age of actually writing those letters. Also, there is nothing like US or UK format. There is simply no format. When I spent a couple of minutes browsing through different emails, there was something more that I realized. The closing or every mail changed a lot. It is similar to how…

Stopping Time
Why won’t you stop? Why won’t you just listen? I need a moment Or maybe more Till it all sinks in From the moment that I started With you as my constant companion A shadow in the watch A friend, sometimes a foe An observer in oblivion Till the highest of peaks And deep into the oceans great In school, in the mall In office, in my hoe Like a pendulum, you gyrate Breaking me from within And teaching me to move on You are the teacher, I yearn for When I reach out You are long gone O Time, yet again I plead This is one moment that…

The precious Elbow
Once or twice now, I have asked people to wear helmets. When they were only travelling the nearby areas, they felt helmet was unnecessary and it is only required when travelling long distances. Further if you insist that helmets should be worn even for the smallest of distances being travelled on road, they would reply that they drive carefully. Well, to all those people and everyone who thinks similarly – 1. Helmets are for the protection of yourself – specifically your skull. The traffic police personnel who fined you for not wearing one or I, who keeps bothering you with such trivial information, have nothing to gain from you wearing…
