Hone do dil ko Fanaa
16 Jun 2011One of my favourite songs from A. R. Rahman. The world came to know of Rahman through Slumdog Millionaire. But Slumdog is no way near the best music of Rahman. This is another of his gems. Not just the music but also the lyrics – written by the genius Gulzar – are fabulous! It has [...]

In: India|Programming
16 Apr 2011The biggest problem is that the people who write code at the root level just aren’t interested in programming. I run an IT services company so I know this by experience.
