Making this page for myself to refer to when I have free time on a weekend and I am in mood to socialize. Below is a list of venues and events that are usually ‘happening’ or ways to find such events. I am not associated with any and do not guarantee anything. Will keep updating […]
boAt’s ad attacking apple
The Boat Airpod ad is cringe and it is genius. The Boat Airdopes (yes, that’s what they are called) start at 1,099₹. The new Apple AirPods will cost you 20,000₹.

You know how Spotify remembers where you paused a particular song? And when you come back, it will start the song from the exact place you left. Great feature, right? Certainly, it’s a pinnacle of user-centered design, keeping your pause point tucked away for when you return, correct? No. I bet half the time, the […]
I was kind of a petro-head growing up. I used to follow all the new car/bike launches. I used to buy those Navneet notebooks with pictures of Superbikes on the front cover and the performance stats on the back cover. During undergrad, I used to buy the new issue of TopGear every time we visited […]
