Our "love" relationship preceded our marriage by more than three years. If I search my heart, within its innermost reaches, I find that I'm still deeply in love with my wife. True, life has its ups and downs, and marriage requires

My wife and I joined the Gym in the first week of June. I don't see the need for someone who looks like my wife to go to the Gym, but she wanted to have 1 month of working out before that trekking trip to the Himalayas (which is currently on). Me, I just wanted to see if I could lose this tummy that my five-year stint at HP in Bangalore had given me. So I joined up - and made sure that I was

So it's been five years since I came to Bangalore to work with HP. These five years have been filled with fun, laughter, eating out, getting to know people, learning bits and pieces of Kannada and Hindi, attempting to launch a proper band to sing/perform/record the songs I write, attempting to write a book or two to vent my imagination based on reality, 3 residence changes, working out of five

I'm totally and completely bummed. And for reasons that I never ever dreamed could make me feel this way. I have been following this tech blog called Engadget for almost 3 years now, quite avidly. I devour every post with a feverish desire for more. A year or so after I started reading Engadget, I started noticing the names of the authors. Some styles stood out, and you could easily make out who

So, I guess the title says it all. I've an Android phone and I love using it for lots of online activities. Here's a new one - mobile blogging. As is evident from the state of my blog, I'm not regular. But now, those irregular blog posts can cone from my phone! Yaiy for technology.

For those of you (the two or three individuals out there) who are waiting for an update about my life, this isn't it. This post is fully and completely dedicated to detailing the unofficial story behind The Indian Geek. Long, long ago I started a side-blog titled "Dan's Desirables" to write about gadgets I love and desire. The blog turned out to be posts about mostly Apple products. (No

Yeah, Coonoor is a crazy lil place for me. It's where some of my bestest friends from college, CSI CE, spent most of their weekend time while at college. It's where I've gotten to know some really cool people at Union Church. It's also where I've spent the least time, while I studied in Nilgiris.Putting all that aside, this past weekend was spent in UC, Coonoor, and it was a splendid time. It was

Well, it's been donkeys years since I wrote anything here. Can't say it's been cos I've been too busy. I have been busy now and then, but not so much that I couldn't have written here. ;)In the past 14 months or so, since I last updated, these are the major events that have occurred.1.

Yep - that's right - Smithafied!!!To all of those who're wondering - what the heck is that - well, it's not much. It's just a meshing together of two lives that God brought together... More specifically, it's the state that Dan is in since God brought Smitha into his life. He's been Smitha-fied......JC-fying life has always been a top prerogative. But without realising it, Smithafying my life has

Early on the morning of the 23rd of December (the day after we met the parents),  both my parents, Smitha and I left for Mehsana from Baroda. We had hired an Indica to take us there. The trip was nice. We slept for the most time and mum kept complaining that she couldn't see a single peacock. Smitha made the mistake of mentioning that peacocks were extremely common along the highways in Gujarat (

For the uninformed, the entire trip up north to Gujarat this past Christmas week was so that my parents could meet up with Smitha's parents. None of us were really expecting anything much to happen - it was supposed to be a simple spend time together thingy.So after that decent train journey, I landed in Baroda at around 05.15 on Monday, the 22nd of December, 2008. I caught an auto (with the help

This entire Christmas season has been sortofa blur... But an amazing and an awesome one at that. So I'm gonna blog about it in parts..............On December 22nd, my parents were to meet up with Smitha's parents at their place in Baroda. So I decided to make my way up there directly from Bangalore, while my parents were trudging up there from Chennai.I caught the train at 21.50 hrs on Saturday,

So ... I never really bought the iPhone. Should be obvious, considering that it's priced at Rs. 31,000.My life is going on pretty great, right now. Had an awesome Birthday weekend at Baroda. I've got the recently launched Motorola ZN200 slider phone. It's pretty decent. Rs. 6000 and works for me.God's been drawing me closer to Him. I'm beginning to rediscover truths about Him, life and the way

Vodafone has just released a statement on their website http://www.vodafone.in/iphone which states that the 8 GB model would cost 31k and the 16 GB model would cost 36k. This is way too much for the iPhone.... popular speculation held that the iPhone would cost anywhere between 15k - 25k in India, when released on August 22nd. This itself is higher than the subsidized price in the US, where the 8

Looks like the band (that has been a looooong time in coming) could become a reality pretty soon... Bina Mathew (my bosom pal from CSI CE) hooked me up with a school pal of hers - Renu Kotian, who's supposed to have this awesome, sultry voice, and who's apparently dying to sing in a rock band.A lil bit of chatting with the Kotian cleared up preliminary fears and encouraged me to meet up with her.

Yes, I will be owning one, if all goes well, by the 22nd of August. I thought I might not have enough cash to go out and purchase one, but then I ended up praying to God to send someone who would be willing to gift it to me... and guess whom He sent? Smitha D.

Or rather, I convinced him to take a look at the MacBook at the Imagine store in Forum Mall.

Hi all... Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Chennai show was great. It kinda had a major hiccup, but I had the time of my life. I've got some photos and videos, but right now am sitting on a pretty slow connection. Will upload them within the next week - gimme few days. But for now, the photo of the moment is the one where John's got his arm around me!!!! (Tried uploading it -

We're at d John Schlitt concert... We got here at 3.30 and were let in at half past five... And right now, we're waiting for half past seven to arrive - which is when they're supposed to begin. But we've had a few issues with having such a huge camera at the concert... And also, we saw John's band doing d sound check wit a few Petra numbers and a few of John's own.

Well, looking at my list made earlier, let's see how far we've come, shall we:1. Front-row seats (350 bucks each) Check!2. Arrive at the venue at 3.55 PM (gates open at 4; concert's at 7 PM)3. Buy a white tee Check!4. Buy a permanent marker5. Hold up a sign saying "I made your promo video, John!" (Ha - only I can do that!) Slightly different, but still - Check!6.

So, if you check the stuff that needs to be done to attend a John Schlitt concert, you'd see that a poster was mentioned.... Why not make it three?!!?! Well, so we're gonna get a few posters printed out on A3 size paper, and then hold it up, from our front-row seats (no points for guessing that we won't be seated!) so that John (and the band) could see it... and be encouraged!!!In honour of the

Yep - it looks like my church has changed. It may be too soon to say this, but looks like I'm going to be a regular at the LWCC, which is situated half-way across the city. It's a lovely little house church and I'm beginning to think that all our churches should be broken down into house churches.

Yep - you read it right - it's the Rat-a-thon and I'm blogging about it... Can ya believes it?!Our story begins on one fine Winter day in Bangalore at the residence of #7, 1st Cross, Nagappa Reddy Layout located in A Narayanapura. It was the 26th of November, 2007. Suddenly, a streak of speed and gray caught the corner of our young hero's (Me, Myself, Dan) eye. Yep - it was a rat. Oh my, Oh

So, I've started Dan's Desirables... It's a blog I began yesterday to try and write about the funky, cool gadgets that I desire. The first gadget I've blogged about is the iPod. Obviously, it's on my top-top-ten must-have, must-desire list... Hence the beginning.Basically, I plan to update the blog with my latest and recent and not-so-recent gadgets-I-desire. So keep checking it for future

Last time I'd been home, I struck upon the idea of visiting my Periamma (Mum's elder sis) and Periappa (her hubby!) in Vellore as they were down here from Aus. I hadn't seen Periamma since Thaatha (Grandpa) passed away in May 2006. I hadn't been to Vellore since December '05 cos I didn't feel like visiting Periamma after she moved out of the house in the wonderful CMC Bhagayam campus. :(Anyways,

Just Google make money easy or make money from home or something like that - and you'll get tonnes of results which purport to be valid ways of making money - quick, and easy. The funny thing is - some of them end up asking you to pay out a hefty amount of anywhere between $10 to $90 (for courses and material on making money from home) to start off on this easy way of making money.Then, we have

There's this awesome song composed and written by Jon Mohr & Randall Dennis - performed by Christian contemporary greats - Point of Grace - in 1992. It goes a little bit like this :            God loves people more than anything            God loves people more than anything            More than anything He wants them to know            He'd rather die than let them go            'Cause God love

Bemused - that I certainly am. Seriously, was Paul making Christian tents? I mean, did he smear them with the Ichthus, the cross and the like, or did he forego them to favour market appeal?Many Christians today (including myself) search for the Christian element in life. We listen to Christian music, read Christian books, listen to Christian speakers, why, we even have Christian bumper stickers

aJCfreak. It's a simplified version of "A Jesus Freak". I flicked the concept from the dc Talk. There was a phase back in college, when I used to mutilate furniture (cots, desks, tables, chairs) with the phrase A Jesus Freak woz 'ere... and thats when I decided to go in for an email ID that reflected this too. It was the middle of 2005, I guess (May-June) and I'd jus gotten an invite to Gmail...

Geen, of course!What happens when most of your usual friends don't turn up and you're kinda lost and feeling outta place at a Knaniah-ite wedding? Well, you hang out with ppl you've never hung out with. And it was wonderful... Serious. I never thought that I would one day be hanging out with these exact people.... Was really nice. And

When you've just stepped into the bride-to-be's ancestral home, and the bride's bro asks you "Would you like to freshen up?" while holding out a towel, it does not mean you take a bath! Cos if you do, then you might end up finding (like I did) that the entire household (yep - extended family included) was waiting for you to finish so that lunch could be served..... Very embracing moment, that! So

Possibly. Hopefully. There's a lotta change involved with my life right now. Over the past few months, I've been spending loads of time on Wikipedia and certain of its sister projects... Chk out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ajcfreak for more info on that.Well, right now, the biggest changes are these - my longtime friend from college, the one and only Ru is getting married this Saturday.

Yup, people! It's gone.... I used to have one of those Adsense thingies right in my blog. Removed it just now. I realised that it pointed to websites that I'd rather NOT have people visiting.... Definitely not - like sites which spread filth about the One I love. So it had to come down and it did..........Actually, I'm not sorry that I took it down at all.

Yep. That's what gets hit at the end of the day... If you cough, it's Christianity to blame. If you don't, then Christianity didn't try hard enough. If the secularists (and non-Christianists) of this world argue one way, then the Christians argue the other. In the words of dc Talk, I'm "sick and tired of this same old fluff"!Basically, I'm beginning to discover now what I've always known. The

My bro is finally back from the UK. He got back last week, actually... And how!!! With a nice shaggy haircut (or the lack of it!) and completely clean-shaven face... And full of stories of how the service people had messed up almost everything on his trip....... Noone survived the onslaught of thecomputersam, I tell you - Dominoes Pizza UK, TGIF's UK, HSBC UK, KLM Airlines Amsterdam.... Ain't

It's done people! Finally... I carted that ancient two-burner electric stove all the way from ma home in Madras to ma home in backyard Bangalore! I spent the whole evening on Sat shopping at the biggest Big Bazaar in India... And spent quite a bit in getting myself the basic essentials of a kitchen. But try as I did, I couldn't get pot-holders!!!! Whateva... I'm not complaining. Now, to all those

Awesome... Simply awesome. The past coupla days have been some of the toppest ones in B'lore. I'm loving it!!! (Hence the title for this post ;) )I've spent quite sometime with Aneka (CSI CEans would be knowing her!) and it's been really good. She came home on a morning, last week. side comment >>> That's when I realised... Having a gal over is SOOOO much different from havin a guy (Jochu!) over.

God's rockin me. Pretty hard.... And in a good way, this time around. Life's finally settling into a fast-paced, God-centred momentum....Written two awesome songs in the past week. The Haunting was written as a follow-up to the crucifixion of Hope, while Beyond The Veil was written for the momentous occasion of Mishtu's marriage. Do check them out by clicking the 'New Songs' link to the right...

Last Thursday morning (7th Dec), Jochu (Joseph V) landed in Banagalore. I brought him over from the station and took him around the city a lil bit... He was totally awed by all the labels/brands factory outlets at Marathahalli. Then I dragged him along while I enquired about some home furniture and interior decor items at three furniture & style shops ;) In his own words "Daniel, you are tempting

Hiya.Jus a quick note to say that two new songs are up. One is inspired by two of my friends who are going through really tough situations... The other is about the dinner I had with Billy Y. Please do go through these two songs... You can access them by the RSS feed link to the "New Songs" on the right side of this blog site.... :DGod bless!

Well, I've been alone at home for more than a week and contrary to popular opinion that I would go mad being home alone, I've been enjoying myself. Of course, my neighbours might not have had the same enjoyment...... I've treated them to the tunes of Walt Disney, Steven Curtis Chapman, Rebecca St. James, Matt Redman, Petra, Jump 5, some Tamil Christian stuff, OST - The Lion King, FFH and the

Ever since I've been a lil kid, I've wanted to go to UK. I've dreamt of this and that. Green meadows and enchanting streams... Lovely lakes and lovelier lochs... The list goes on. And reading "The Highlander's Last Song" when I was 15 didn't help matters at all. So, it is with a heavy heart and a split conscience that I write this....

A gentle whisper... A softer word... A touch so tender that it blows away every thought that my 'human' mind is debating.A thunderous roar... A stimulating wave... A dawn so stupendous that every breath that my body is inhaling is exhaled in a single gasp.The immortal addresses the mortal as if he were an equal.

I awoke in the middle of the night to find a warm body by my side. In the quiet stillness, thoughts of the previous night flooded my mind. Tingling my nerves and titillating my senses, I realised that this was the evil with which I have lain so many times before and I continue to lie, unable to leave that which has always been a part of me. I look at this monster, this person, this desire, this
