Comic Con Bangalore 2014 – Day 1 Highlights

I attended my first Comic Con at Bangalore today and it was a great experience. I followed the last year’s event closely, but couldn’t visit due to unforeseen circumstances (mostly laziness).

It was not as spectacular as I’d imagined it to be. Still, quite interesting to see so many like-minded geeks and nerds assemble under a single roof.

Just boggles my mind to imagine the amount of work that has been put in to create all these artworks (even if all of them are derivatives (they’re not) and not original).… » click to continue reading “Comic Con Bangalore 2014 – Day 1 Highlights”

Yes, I did try launching the site a few times in the past, but there were a lot of hurdles I had to face along the way.… » click to continue reading “7 Reasons that Stopped Me from Starting a Blog”

The Art of Doing ‘Nothing’ Effectively

And yet there might be some who’ll think it’s logically impossible to do nothing, because in doing so, you’re actually doing something.
