A famous person has died

This is true of any news channel…

Remember the Time

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died.

I was born in 1980. It's hard to overstate how massive the impact of Michael Jackson was in the early 80's. That guy was *IT*. And back then, you could safely assume EVERYONE heard his music.

You can appreciate his influence by realizing nearly every person on earth will be discussing his death.

R.I.P

A mom cancels a WoW account and …….

This looks like an outtake from the exorcist (me thinks fake but that would make this kid a great actor).

The remote moment was priceless. It looks like viral video geniuses are at work here. The video was the correct time limit ( Not too short, and not too long ), and the brother set up the camera at the precise time...

Don't get me wrong. The video was awesome, but staged.

Tune in tomorrow for a video of the kid's exorcism...

Siachen – The Third Pole

Of late the I’ve been suffering by a bout of Travel Jones.

I keep looking up pictures of the Himalayas on the internet and gawk at the mountain peaks. I keep wishing for a never ending vacation to the mountains.

I don’t know if I ever will be able to visit the ultimate no-man’s land – The Siachen Glacier, so for now I keep looking at pics such as the one below.

The long walk home...

Ever wondered what life is like this high up in the mountains? Well this should enlighten some of you.

For those who still haven’t figured out… Siachen belongs to India.

Angels and Demons

I watched the movie yesterday and this is a way better movie than The Da Vinci Code. I read Rajeev Masand’s review of movie and for once I feel he’s off the mark on this one.

Although some parts of the movie come off as absolutely unbelievable, Angels & Demons definitely works as a race against the clock whodunit thriller. I was particularly impressed by the sets of the Sistine Chapel and also St. Peter’s Square.

A must watch.

And some more Pakistan bashing!

Back Again!

I landed myself a new job in December and thus ended my 4 month sabbatical or my “unemployed” status. Between work and everyday life, I haven’t been able to feed my blog and I’d feel guilty every time I visit it.

Here’s another funny for this week. Unfortunately it’s taking a dig at Citigroup, my first ever job.
