My New Year's Resolutions
The dawn of a new year is just round the corner. A new year, a new beginning. Rather befitting for me since I am getting married this year and thus will begin my endeavors into a new world. A new world with a new family, my family. And with this beginning comes a few resolutions. My New Year’s resolutions.
Living a successful relationship is an art, living three successful relationships, the masterpiece. And that’s what I am planning to do successfully on this new year. The relationships that I share with my new family, my old family with my Mom and Dad and my extended family, which constitutes of my Mother-in-law, Father-in-law and my Sister-in-law. So that’s one of my New Year’s resolutions.
Career wise I would like to become more career-wise. Would love to pass the Google Adwords test this year. Been delaying for long. Would start writing content for 3rd party content providers like InstaMedia. That would get me some extra bucks other than providing me with an opportunity to sharpen my writing skills. That comes second in the list of my New Year’s resolution.
Financially, I would like to become a lot more stable than what I am today. Financial security one of the keys to a successful and happy relationship. Would try to go for some future investments. For leisure, would like to take a vacation and head over to the hills in Bhutan. Heard that it’s a nice, romantic place. Would like to see if it really lives upto its name.
Will check back at the end of next year with a checklist in my hand to know how many of these resolutions I have fulfilled. Hope you would be there with me on that day too. Till then, why don’t you tell me some of your New Year’s resolutions.

Phishing Scam: Indian Income Tax Website Hacked
Today a got a mail in my inbox saying that I got an Income Tax refund for the previous fiscal year. The email looked genuine since it came from ref-init@incometaxindia.gov.in. It contained a link which I needed to click to apply for the refund.
Nice scam they have put up this time since on clicking the link I was taken to the website http://www.burlingtonbaycafe.com! Yes ladies and gentlemen, its a new phishing scam some people have come up with.

It's Christmas Season
Do you still leave cookies and milk for Santa under the tree? That's what the Christmas spirit is all about isn't it? It about faith. Faith in God, faith in life, love, happiness, friendship, forgiveness. The time of the year when you let go of all your grudges. A season to decorate, not only the Christmas tree but your life.
To be very honest with you, the Christmas season began from the beginning of December and continued till the end of January. It started with Christmas shopping, you know the usual drill, winter wear, Christmas trees, ingredients to bake cakes, Christmas cards, gifts and loads of other happiness which came in gift wraps.
We used to decorate our home with colorful ribbons, balloons, ornate the Christmas tree with stars, angels. The whole house used to remain buzzing with the aroma of freshly baked cakes. Finally waiting for the gala day.
I bet you used to believe in Santa once, didn't you? I did too, when it was actually my parents who left gifts and goodies beside my bed. I used to wake up at the middle of the night to check what have I got this year, I am a very impatient man you see. Once I ogled at everything I used to go off to sleep once again only to wake up in the morning to go to the Church.
After coming back from the Church I used to get busy with my story books or my computer, playing games. Playing Christmas Carols on the tape players, and later the computer, which was one of the things that we bought during the Christmas shopping. The fun of playing the Christmas Carols is that it takes the tiredness out of you with its cheerful melody. From Jim Reeves telling us about how he dreams of a white Christmas to Bon Jovi chasing Rudolph all over the shopping mall, it used to be amazing.
By the afternoon I used to start feeling restless for lunch, because on Christmas everything was prepared as per my culinary preferences. Being an eternal Chikeniterian (or am I am Biriyanite, its debatable you know), we used to prepare chicken curry which was served with mutton pulao, salad, a vegetable side dish (which was always duly omitted by me) and in the end another of my favorite, meetha dahi (sweet curd).
By the time it was evening, we were all exhausted. At times we visited our relatives, at times they visited us. This continued till late night and then it was all over, a year of awaiting ended in a day and thus began the wait for this Christmas day for the year to come. Well, the New Year party still remained.
A lot of things have changed since. We have become busy with our career and other engagements. And we often don't get enough time to spend for shopping, decorating our home et al. But the spirit of Christmas remains the same. Let's be jolly this Christmas season. Remember its a Ho Ho Ho season.

El Condor Pasa
Today is the 1st of December, the beginning of the last month of the year. The month that proclaims the beginning of the end, the dawn of another year. The prelude to the beginning of new dreams, new responsibilities, new memories, faiths, friends, moments. A coup de grace that puts an end to some nightmares. An epilogue that inaugurates a new season, the season of love, of friendship, joy and enduring happiness of myriad colors.
What a year it was, 2011. Eventful, to say the least. Ofcourse not without some occasional bitterness but those were just the reminder of the customary light at the end of the tunnel. This is the year I found my love, my life, an event that in itself was a milestone in the walk of my life. This year I found the long lost treasure trove of friendship, thanks to Jinia that I got introduced to some nice people who came in my life and became a part of it, a part that I had always missed in this jigsaw called life. Some of them deserves special mention, but I would not like to discriminate friendship in toto. All I would like to say is that I love you all, dearly. Be with me, always, so that I can rediscover the admiring human bond of friendship everyday for the rest of my life.
Professionally this year was lucrative. I happen to imbibe a lot at PwC as far process knowledge was concerned. I realized once again that learning can be one of the most interesting vocation. I climbed a few more rung on the corporate ladder. I achieved a few more feathers on my cap when it came to my amateurish blogging career. The Chronicles of R got listed on the Best Indian Blogs directory maintained by Amit Agarwal and on the Life section of Alltop. So in a way I became a lot more Blog-wise.
This year I happen to discover Calcutta (not Kolkata, it would always remain Calcutta for me) thanks to Jinia once again. From the blind alleys of Shovabazar to the porche interiors of Trincas and Mocambos, I found a new face of Calcutta and I got to see my face in it. Without Jinia I never would have been a part of those purple evenings at Vineet's, at Polu's and ofcourse at Sho's (you know who I am talking about, don't you). Time flew in leaps and bounds and for the first time in my life I wished that there were 30 hours in a day instead of just a mere 24, things would have been way more happening then, wouldn't it Jinia?
Now comes the two most important people (read: women) in my life without mentioning whom my life would remain incomplete. Ria and Jinia. They constitute my life. Without them nothing would have been possible. Jinia have been a constant source of inspiration for me, she understood me more than I did. It was her love that made me move on during those difficult moments, it was her constant unyielding support that helped me dream those impossibilities. It was Jinia who I would say taught me to laugh, not with my voice but with my heart. She is and, knowing her would always, be a constant source of joy and love in my life. Now comes Ria, the real beauty if you might remember. Everytime I took her on my lap, her face lit up with joy and she broke into a laughter or a simple smile and my heart ached , knowing how much I missed her all these years. I love you two, more than you would ever know, more than I would ever realize.
Its time to move on and embrace the new. A new year, a new spirit, a new hope, without letting go of what there was. Because what we are is because of what we were, we learnt from what we had that what we can have. I know its a little to early to wish you a happy new year, but then its never too late to wish you a very happy new beginning!

The Kolaveri Slap Song
So this new song from the movie 3 has gone viral. And everybody on YouTube keeps asking the same question: Why This Kolaveri Di? In case you have missed the video and the song, here's the song for you:
Hope you enjoyed the song. But there's more to come. There's something else that have gone viral, the news of Sharad Pawar getting slapped. A man, indentified as Harvinder Singh, attacked the Nationalist Congress Party chief when he was speaking to reporters after a function at the NDMC Centre in the heart of the capital. And what a slap it was. Now in case you have missed that too here's Sharad Pawar getting slapped in the light of the Kolaveri song:
Even if you didnt enjoy the first one, I am sure you would thoroughly enjoy the second video.

Hello Bane!
The Dark Knight Rises, and so does Bane.
Today, their Facebook fan page offered this poster for all of its fans. I must say that Bane is rather pretty impressive. One of Batman's more physically and intellectually powerful foes. A virtually unstoppable juggernaut, he is best known for breaking Batman's back in the "Knightfall" story arc. IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Bane as #34. But the question remains:
Why so serious Bane, why so serious?
