Wheeee! Off To Matheran!

Yep, it’s a sort of a weekend holiday. I am going to that scenic hill-station where the only modes of transport are on horseback, by man-pulled rickshaw, or on foot. Yes, all vehicles are banned! It’s almost like heaven! A dream come true! And there is also this Toy Train which covers about 20 km in two hours, from Neral to Matheran. I am gonna have a peaceful two days, away from this stifling city environment. A welcome break! You can learn more about Matheran here.

And yes, as for moving this blog to its own domain, it’s almost done. Of course, as I am going to Matheran, it will just take a few more days…

A Small Break

Hey guys, I am currently trying to figure out how to get my blog self-hosted and the only way I can do that is by cutting down on my blogging. So I guess I won’t be posting for about 5-6 days now (unless the Dynasty that rules us does something that I just can’t resist blogging about ).

Please bear with The Naive Indian

My Article, In The Paper!

Yep, remember my post on the IndiBlogger Bloggers’ Meet at Pune. A slightly modified version of that post has been published in a well-respected weekly tabloid called Intelligent Pune (March 28th issue).

They have also printed a few photos of the meet. However, there is one photo which is supposed to be mine. Well, it is not. It is Vineet Rajan a.k.a. Vinni in that photo. I guess it was a small mistake on Intelligent Pune’s part. It happens sometimes You can see my not-so-handsome photo here. I am the one at the extreme right.

However, the point to be noted is, my article got published in a paper

The Pen-Keyboard Analogy

We all know the classic adage:

The pen is mightier than the sword.

Yesterday, as I was just brooding (in fact, day-dreaming is a more accurate description ), I hit upon a new adage which is more representative of the modern era. Here goes,

The keyboard is mightier than the AK-47.

Eeeks! I know it sucks, but I felt that I should share it with you guys. I guess ‘keyboard’ perfectly replaces ‘pen’, but I feel that there can be a better word to replace ’sword’. Any ideas?

Yipee! I Am On Mutiny.in

Yes, my request to join The Great Indian Mutiny has been accepted! And my first post has been published too. It’s titled: A Whole New Breed Of Sycophants.

The post has been crossposted on this blog too. You can read it here.
