Airtel Broadband: Windows slaves?!

By Raghunath | January 16, 2010

SO there I was, hating my dataone connection for its recent spate of bad service and low bandwidth and thinking of changing the connection. The only real alternative here in India (apart from local dsl providers – cut cable no internets!) is Airtel broadband. Now I wasn’t looking for a Rs. 300 internet connection to [...]

Drowning Eyes

By Raghunath | November 21, 2009

I see what you show through your eyes,
I see the words unsaid.
I see the unborn questions raised,
The thoughts that came and fled.
O love, my love, I see it all,
I see it my own way.
‘Cause ’till you saw me off tonight,
I saw what you just said.
Blind, I fall again and then,
Wild, I swing at air.
I see [...]

To Soar (Too Sore) …

By Raghunath | October 8, 2009

Lend me your wings, bird, and I will fly on.
The world has moved on,
leaving me memories and feelings that I cannot account for.
A childhood that I can remember like it was someone else’s life,
A deliberate, grinding life that eats me up at the core.
Lend me your wings, bird, and I will fly on.
The world has [...]

Religion and Atheism

By Raghunath | May 31, 2009

It annoys me that the burden of proof is on us. It should be: you came up with the idea. Why do you believe it? – Ricky Gervais on being an atheist.

The Rise and Fall of Permanent Fixtures.

By Raghunath | May 4, 2009

Maybe its age creeping up on me as I move on to the wrong side of the 20s (Thanks Neeti!) but there are things from my childhood that I used to take for granted and/ or ignore that I see less and less of nowadays. What were permament fixtures in the landscape of the India [...]

Reservations, politics and another return to blogging.

By Raghunath | May 3, 2009

The months and weeks of the political circus that is the Indian election season is finally coming to a close. What should be a dignified process of selecting able bodied leaders to run and uplift the country has, as always, turned into a display of exactly why close to 50% of the nation does not [...]

DMC: Pearl Jam – You Are

By Raghunath | February 16, 2009

Lyrics:
This broken wheel is coming undone
And the road’s exploding
But you’re keeping me strong
Rolling along with you,…
Love is a tower
And you’re the key
Leading me higher
When you let me in
Keeping us close,… so close
On down the line
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you’re keeping me strong
Moving along with you
You are a [...]

Reboot?

By Raghunath | January 11, 2009

I thought that I should remember something that I wanted to write about and later realized that I did not remember what I thought I wanted to remember to write about. I remember now that there was something that I needed to remember to ensure that I remembered that I write about something but now [...]
