I was left speechless and deeply touched, for once I’ll keep my post brief…

the joy of aimless drifting

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

The other day I went to a marriage hall – it was amazing how people are so obsessed with trivial things, and also how they act among each other.

madonna's success

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

I’ve pretty much enjoyed most of Madonna’s music since my schooldays. But this was probably the last thing I expected to hear from her… esp after songs like Material Girl. Looks like she’s finally managed to become really succesful 😀

the red pill

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Chanced across some straight-as-a-bullet answers from J Krishnamurti to a few ordinary questions which I expect a lot of people would have. [If you’ve watched the Matrix, please skip this para. For those who haven’t or don’t recollect the details… In the movie (lets ignore sequels please), Neo is a computer hacker who doubts whether […]

saving red squirrels from road accidents

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Someone in the corporate ng had put up a photograph to identify, which looked to me like a red squirrel so I googled to make sure. It turned out to be a big issue in England. The last thing that really concerns me is the decline of red squirrels in the north west of England, […]

my dad's second-last puzzle

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

Today being father’s day, I’d like to recall a puzzle my late dad gave me in June 1998 a couple of weeks before he had a fatal series of cardiac arrests. Of course I’ve come across this plenty of times later as well… I suppose it must be fairly well known by now. I must […]

back to the basics – pointers & references – C/C++/C#/Java

While discussing about .NET recently with a small group recently out of college, it suddenly occurred to me that they were missing something fundamental, so I went back to the basics. What I say here may would hopefully be insanely obvious… except maybe the links at the end of the article.
