An Open Letter to KSSTM

Dear Kerala State Science and Technology Museum,

We need to talk!

This Christmas vacation I was unfortunate enough to think that it was a good idea to introduce my little cousins to the idea of a Science Museum. Oh! What a big mistake it was to take them to the “Careless-State Science and Technology Museum” – Yes, given your current state, I took the liberty to rechristen you!

God is a Gamer - Ravi Subramanian - A Book Review

Book: God is a Gamer
Author: Ravi Subramanian 
Price: Rs.205 @31% Discount at Flipkart
Genre: Thriller
No. of Pages: ~310 

Introduction:
Thanks to Awesome BlogAdda's Awesome Book Review Program, this is the second time I am reading Ravi Subramanian. Earlier I had reviewed The Bankster by the same author.

Compared to The Bankster, God is a Gamer is much more interesting. It is evident that a lot more preparation and research has gone into the book and therefore, it is simply better.

Synopsis:
The below video is a 2 minute trailer on the book. And it is pretty good. I actually saw this video after I read the book and therefore it made complete sense to me.

FIFA World Cup 2014 Schedule in India Standard Time (IST)


So, the FIFA World Cup 2014 is just around the corner now and the official time table and kick-off timings are something that every Indian soccer fan is looking for.

The official logo has already been widely criticized as a "facepalm" and it truly does look hilarious when you look at it that way.

As expected, despite the 1.2 billion people we have in our country, we have still not found a team good enough to qualify for this world cup too. Sad!

But that is not going to stop the soccer lovers among us from watching the matches of our favorite teams from whistle to whistle.

But sadly, all matches will take place at ungodly hours for us! Get ready to lose a lot of sleep...

55 Fiction - “I’m Alive!"

The first thing that ran through his mind, even before he regained complete consciousness was, “I can’t believe that I survived my 3rd heart attack!”

The second thought which he almost mumbled out was, “Where am I?”

And then he screamed...

His last thought was, “I should have been cremated and not buried!”

Name 'em in the Right Order!

This is a simple one, but when clubbed with not more than 15 seconds to answer, it can be very tricky.

The idea is to show the four pictures on the screen along with four options to choose from. Displaying the four options makes it both easier and messier for the teams trying to guess the answer.

Enough talk! Here we go, I have got 12 such questions for you:

[All the answers are at the end. No fun in putting them right next to the questions, right? :P]
