After a year of surprising-but-long-awaited ups and there-they-go-again downs, the Pakistani cricket fans were treated to a great 2nd Test at SCG, glued to their seats after the Aussie crumble on Day 1. Read the rest of this entry »

WTF are people Googl-ing? Newton’s Birthday Special
4 01 2010Following up on my post from last September, I decided that I was going to perform a brand new search on Google with some new keywords, just to see if , by any chance, with the advent of the new decade, people have reduced their searches for stupid things. Turns out, not so much. Mind you, these are all done today – take note of the Google logo. Read the rest of this entry »

Islam vs. Christianity vs. Judaism vs. Hinduism vs. Jediism
30 12 2009I’ve charted a brief list to see how Jediism compares to other religions. Read it, tell me if I got anything wrong (I’m not an expert on other religions) and decide what really is best (whiper: Jediism!).

Father Terrorist: A Christmas Story
27 12 2009For all it’s Islamic Shariah-compliant ways, Dubai still manages to get quite Christmas-y this time of year. It always has. Holiday cheer and all that. Wonderful discounts, mall Santas, Christmas trees, splashes of green and red all over and a lot more mistletoe than this “if-you-kiss-you-go-to-jail” society should allow. All in the name of the Christmas spirit, or rather, Xmas spirit, as it is so often butchered down to (and aptly demonstrated by my good friend in his Facebook status). Read the rest of this entry »

A little Imation goes a long way
23 12 2009
Ah, Christmas. The holidays. Festive cheer and all that. Hanukkah, even. The season to be jolly. A time of giving. But you’re cheap, because you’re desi. At least I am. It’s my sickness, and I’m living with it. So I came up with this cheap ass (and somewhat illegal) way of giving presents to my foolish friends. I spent most of November and December doing it, but it’s finally done, and these fools will see it as an act of effort, when it really is just plain cheap. And quite crap. But you gotta try it, at least for Holidays 2010. Read the rest of this entry »

Tiny Tony

Desi families don’t take vacations. Not in the true sense of the word any way. What they do is, they pack up almost everything they have, buy gifts for every single relative and go back home for a month. And what for? To go to those people’s houses and give them the gifts they bought them. It’s a family affair, really. I feel very lucky. So that’s what we do in summers. But the holidays are two and a half months long. I used to spend one month in Pakistan (towards the end of the hols), but I still had the first 45 days free. And these would be filled in with bicycle expeditions, TV overload and a lot of “doing nothing”.

You’re a nobody and it’s Christmas
23 12 2009
–
Happens every year, doesn’t it? Christmas dinner with the family. And I don’t mean just your mom and dad, I mean the whole shebang. Granny’s there. Your uncle that got divorced last year, he’s there. Your aunt that smells like a six-day old cucumber sandwich is there. Annoying nieces and nephews who you don’t want to make silly conversation with are there. You come alone, because you are single, although desperately trying to stay away from the three-o. Age is a fiendish bitch.
