Curses! Foiled again!

January 9, 2006

Aqua has discovered the Pompous Libertarian conspiracy to defame Chetan Bhagat’s excellent writing skills. Dammit!

We Pompous Libertarians were hoping to inflame our attacks on Chetan Bhagat into a full-fledged blogosphere war, eventually resulting in a Desipundit sticky post. While the rest of the blogosphere would have been preoccupied with attacking or defending Bhagat, we would have stealthily carried out the next step in our plan for complete world domination.

But now that Aqua has outed us, we’ll just have to think of some other diversionary tactics. I hate it when that happens.


Heh

I’ve got this far without a single cussword. I deserve to be rewarded, lauded, applauded. Now my post is only as abrasive as TravelTalesFromIndia’s comments.


Happy Birthday Madhu!

November 30, 2005

Madman, who pretends to be mild-mannered webhost Madhu Menon when he’s not wielding his eight eleven-inch knives and body-slamming people, turns thirty the age that shall not be named today.

If you’re in Bangalore, I suggest you celebrate his birthday by eating at his peerless South East Asian restaraunt, Shiok.

Madhu, in the absence of a birthday present and my hosting fees, this little bit of publicity for Shiok will have to do. Happy Birthday.


Reboot

November 9, 2005

Greetings, all. After a prolonged wait during which my many (er, at least some) admirers used to ask themselves (wonder why they didn’t ask me instead) when I would start posting again, this blog is alive once again. Thanks to the inimitable MadMan, it is now running WordPress. My self-designed and hand-coded content manager, Sonali, has been retired. I put a lot into it three years ago, but it’s become rapidly outdated and I don’t have the time to maintain it.

The archives are not accessible right now from the site itself, but all your links to old articles will still work. Let me see if there’s some way to import the old blogposts. Right now, I’d rather concentrate on new posts.

Coming up over the next few days: why it’s a good idea to have IT parks in Chandigarh; the relationship between broken windows, nipples, and multimedia cellphones; the sins of the Congress party, and other stuff.

But now, I must sleep.
