you think you’ve heard it all, but this really might take the cake. or should i say the pot ?
Cow urine will soon be available for sale in milk booths of government dairies all over Madhya Pradesh. Along side milk, pure cow urine will be sold in hygienic polypacks.
to be fair, gomutra, as it is called (literally translates to cow-urine) is considered holy; and of course it apparently has medicinal properties. still.. ‘a litre of milk and urine please’ ?

Stuff that struck me while reading about Sachin Tendulkar’s nearly unbelievable* feat, most of which will be repeated everywhere I look over the next few days/weeks:
On this day 21 years ago He completed a 664-run partnership with Kambli. Twenty-f*ckin-one.
His 200 contained 25 boundaries (the most by a single batsman in an ODI till date) More >
my event of a lifetime

It’s been too, too long.
Wish I had a good excuse.
Maybe this one: “Marriage does that to you.” Or even: “Things change like this after marriage.”
At the very least, marriage gives you a scapegoat that most married men will commiserate with. “Yes, yes.. I know what you mean.” Its either commiseration or a devilish satisfaction (as More >

The time has come.
Back to India.
Madness. All centered around me. And the missus. But me too!
There will probably be no posts for a bit here. I’m not live-blogging my own wedding, or even live-tweeting my honeymoon
Speaking of which, that is probably going to be the best birthday ever
It has taken its More >

This is the 4th attempt I’m making at trying for a halfway decent beginning to a post. Have I really been reduced to saying such banalities? I can’t quite believe it. When I look at my front page, most of my recent posts are about movies. Reviews, basically. Most of my recent posts have also More >

[Thoughts due to: io9: Who Created Spider-Man? ]
It is a deal-breaking case that has been filed against Marvel Comics, probably fueled by the recent success of Siegel vs DC for the Superman copyright (and the acquisition of Marvel by Disney too?). My own WTF was fueled by whether Spidey even belongs to this dispute (he More >

Looking out the window, I recognized familiar landmarks. The things you see every day, that become part of a routine; and then one day you see them no more. I was dropped at the corner as I had been all those years ago. I started a walk I had done every day for nearly 4 More >

Engines whir, and I watch as the plane passes the runway, the adjoining highway, then another, and another…then they blur together amongst the millions of blinking lights that make up the streets and homes of Bombay. I desperately try to retain a final picture in my mind as the coast approaches. The plane banks into More >

And I remain obsessed with StickCricket, even as my mom pointedly mentions that I am now supposed to be reallly growing up – given that I’ve hooked the missus. Not taken her, just hooked.
Now for my annual sojourn of Bombay, and a visit to my school after a really really long time.

I get a breather for a few days after Bangalore, Mayiladurai, Thirrakadaiyur and Trichy.. and return to the insanity of Bombay. To prepare for the next stage of insanity.
I have returned from one of the more memorable trips I’ve made recently.. most significant for opening my eyes to the world that is the real India, More >
