Nomological Net: Roots
http://nomologic.blogspot.com/2010/09/roots.html
Stray thoughts from here and there. The occasional concern for construct validity. No more logic. Fish. Faults in the clouds of delusion. View my complete profile. Bhairavi, and Mian ki Malhar. The faster we go the rounder we get. A time to every purpose, under heaven. Gladly beyond any distance. Random thoughts of a demented bong. Yossarian lives on ayahuasca. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. I loved it to pieces. It's a must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in Indian classical music.

president blink-blink: a mature response to the end of the year
http://roswitha.blogspot.com/2010/12/mature-response-to-end-of-year.html
Wednesday, December 22, 2010. A mature response to the end of the year. While I gather up my courage for a 'Year in Reading' post, a Q&A meme in which I was tagged months ago by Aisha. All answers calibrated to reflect reading/re-reading between January-December this year. 1 Favourite childhood book? Anne of Green Gables. 2 What are you reading right now? Freedarko's The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History. And Madhusree Mukherjee's Churchill's Secret War. 3 Bad book habit? My Mint story on the bo...

president blink-blink: lampedusa and lucy maude
http://roswitha.blogspot.com/2010/05/lampedusa-and-lucy-maude.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Lampedusa and lucy maude. I have so much backlog I can totally NOT read anything new until I clear this up. * hides What Is The What. Under the table *. 44 The Leopard, Giovanni Tomasi di Lampedusa, trans Archibald Colquhoun. 45-52 The Anne books, LM Montgomery. Anne of Green Gables. Anne of the Island. Anne's House of Dreams. Anne of Windy Willows. Briefly, but as a book about the Great War, this particular one becomes deeply saddening for other, unintended reasons. Here, I write a...

president blink-blink: march memoir madness: kaifi, obama, crisp, seth, mill
http://roswitha.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-memoir-madness-kaifi-obama-crisp.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. March memoir madness: kaifi, obama, crisp, seth, mill. 25 Kaifi and I, Shaukat Kaifi, trans. Nasreen Rehman. Arise, my love, you must walk with me today. Annoyingly paternalistic to read today? 26 Dreams From My Father, Barack Obama. I am so weary of admiring Barack Obama's BRAAAIIIINS I have no way to express it. His story is of course an eminently tellable one in broad strokes: parents! 27 The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp. 28 Two Lives, Vikram Seth. Oh, John Stuart Mill...

president blink-blink: gyan prakash: mumbai fables
http://roswitha.blogspot.com/2010/11/gyan-prakash-mumbai-fables.html
Monday, November 22, 2010. Gyan prakash: mumbai fables. I would have loved to write a more detailed review of this book, which I recommend unreservedly. Instead, this is a piece I wrote for Mint Lounge earlier this month on the writing of the book itself. You can read it in newspaper version here. Loved this article when I read it in Mint. Stumbled upon the blog via Jai Arjun Singhs blog and hence exploiting the opportunity to thank you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Here, I write about books and s...

A Tapestry of Casual Confessions: September 2008
http://salilsuri.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A Tapestry of Casual Confessions. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Singapore F1 Grand Prix 2008. Mustattempt.to.understand.male.fascination". This what one of my friends muttered when I was trying in vain to explain to her why F1 was more than a teosterone driven activity, which involved pressing the gas pedal really hard. To any F1 fan, it’s about speed, aggression, skill, engineering, split second pit stops. True metamorphosis of the man and the machine! Massa Pit Stop fiasco :(. A View from the top. It...

Quotidian Quotes: April 2008
http://misspixiedust.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Alice In chains. In wonderland. Who the * * is Alice. Once upon a time there was her, who promised with fancy. She beheld wistful glimpses into the future resplendent with gaiety and promise. Yet, she rued her failing friendships from the past and nodded solemnly. 8216;One day we will leave. And you will be here and I will be there. It won’t be the same you know, and I cannot bear to think about that. I don’t know what I would do without you.’. What good really is nostalgia? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Tapestry of Casual Confessions: March 2007
http://salilsuri.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
A Tapestry of Casual Confessions. Thursday, March 15, 2007. Beer, pizzas and my favorite Mass Murderer. Well, it was a nice weekend that went past…I had an amazing time, And Monday blues hit me hard, harder than before. You may also read about it here. However some of the content is very questionable. Now now, I am not saying anything about the veracity of the statements made in that post but here’s my side of the story…. So I was blissfully asleep in my bed, when I got a kick on my posterior. Huh? We ha...

De Ludo Globi: Project Objectify: The Coaches
http://deludoglobi.blogspot.com/2007/06/project-ojectify-coaches.html
Which it is for our slightly potty reflections on football. The wittiest thing about this project may well be its title. You have been warned. Saturday, June 02, 2007. Project Objectify: The Coaches. The wanton (but oh so necessary) objectification of persons connected with sport has been going on for a while now, here. Till now, however, the focus has been on the players. This time, we felt the coaches (specifically the football coaches) deserved a chance. So here they are. José Mourinho (Chelsea FC).
