Dinner never tasted better!
Irritating n00bs.
So, this pocket-sized ‘proud-Marathi-but-Indian-first’ guy completed twenty years in international cricket.
Apart from the nauseating coverage of this ‘event’, including comments from wannabes and has-beens, what pissed me off the most was the fact that it seemed that people were already jumping the gun and calling him a legend and whatnot. Okay, he’s good, but anyone who plays cricket for twenty-odd years is bound to break a few records. And the fact that he’s in the Indian team only means that in those twenty-odd years, he would have played more cricket on an average than his counterparts from other teams.
And what does this guy have to do to get the recognition he deserves?
Maybe he should just have a ‘This is it” tour and die a week before the show. What say, Mikey? Hm, what? Yeah, that’s his nose.
nOObs!
Back on vanilla Ubuntu
Having spent some time with CrunchBang linux, and being fairly impressed by it, I am now back on vanilla Ubuntu.

Luckily, having my /home on a separate partition saved me a lot of trouble as far as reconfiguring applications goes. With this fresh install of Ubuntu, I’m also running the YetiOS version of Windows XP on VMware, rendering one of my hard disks (originally intended to serve as the lowly Windows drive) useless.
Speaking of hard disks:

Yup, that's them.
Yamaha FZ16 incredibly easy to steal
Two screws secure the Yamaha FZ16′s ignition/lock unit to the frame. Unscrew those and the bike’s yours for the taking.
How do I know this? Some motherfucker tried to steal my FZ two nights ago.
Bozo the Clown, MP
Apparently, we need politicians to keep us entertained.
The audience of NASCAR
Because we are … the audience of NASCAR!
No, not really. Despite the fact that this post has nothing to do with NASCAR, I firmly believe that all NASCAR fans are intelligent, well-rounded individuals.
Yeah, right.
Moving on, this is what the post is really about:
Amon Amarth – The Guardians of Asgaard
Featuring L G Petrov of Entombed
I love Amon Amarth to pieces. Well, almost. If you don’t, go fuck yourself.
Hey NOOB!
STFU.
Yeah, you.
Holy Kuk! Nile’s coming to India!
The arch purveyors of Egyptian-themed, technical-as-hell, brutal death metal – Nile – will be sacrificing India to Sebek sometime in 2010.
From metalunderground.com:
A mid October 2009 release is being planed world wide on Nuclear Blast. Nile will then tour Europe in November of 2009 and January / February 2010 in North America, followed by tours in Australia, South America, Japan, Pacific Rim, Mexico, Central America and India. Stay tuned for tour news and further updates TBA.
Personally, I don’t like how India’s at the end of that list. I’m not very sure, but I wouldn’t want to face an exhausted, cranky, homesick band, especially the first (and probably the only) time I’ll get to see them play.
That said: Holy shit! I think I should go check my trousers for jizz stains.

Update: Nile really are coming, this time.
From Nile’s Facebook page:
World Management would like to announce that the mighty Nile are heading to ASIA.. This marks the band’s first time in these markets and the guys are extremely excited to be playing for their Asian Metal Brothers. The whole idea of spreading NIle’s music into this part of the world has been a long time coming. We are extremely pleased to go to this part of the world and are looking forward to an amazing cultural exchange and experience.
Nile are currently in the studio wrapping up the mix of their latest effort “At The Gate of Sethu” with producer Neil Kernon ( fyi.he has produced the last four albums)…. Album should be released 2nd quarter 2012.
They’ll be playing two gigs in India – New Delhi on May 5, 2012, and Bangalore on May 6, 2012. Be there or go fuck yourself.
Rudra – Brahmavidya: Transcendental I (2009)
Rudra is a Singapore-based band which was formed in 1992, and plays a style of black metal-influenced death metal with interpolations and extended passages of traditional Carnatic music. Additionally, the lyrical content is derived from Hindu vedic literature and philosophy with some songs incorporating ancient mantras (shlokas) into their song structures. The band describes this style as vedic metal.
Rudra’s newest album, Brahmavidya: Transcendental I, was released across Asia on April 15, 2009, by Trinity Records.
This album, which is the 2nd chapter of the Brahmavidya trilogy, continues from where the previous album left off. The first Brahmavidya chapter featured the upanishads, ancient vedic texts, while Brahmavidya: Transcendental I will be featuring vedic smrtis. The album features 14 tracks with a running time of about 70 minutes. Ancient vedic texts grace this album, and [it is] musically a far more extreme album than its predecessor.
You can listen to Amrtasyaputra (as spelled on the Trinity Records website) here.
