Sumeet 20 Feb 2009 3:50 pm: Interesting site. One observation…the fiction and non fiction books have ‘Watch once’ or ‘watch many times’ text alongside the book name. Thanks, Sumeet
Ajay Shankar 1 Aug 1996 12:00 am: Very nice. Anyone who likes Calvin n Hobbes is ok with me. When that person is another Vidya Mandir alumnus, its even better. I also assume that IIT, IIM and LBS is up here not because you like these institutions.
Very nice blog.

It has been noted with due concern that your weblog is far behind schedule. Please take appropriate measures to bring it up to date at once.

Mahesh Shantaram ([email protected]) 1 Aug 1996 12:00 am: Hi Anand! Rather than “new blog format”, I would like to refer to it as the “classical blog format”. The reason is that while Epiphany became a space for long, contemplative well-thought out posts, the need for a space where I can write short, quick quips
Mahesh Shantaram (www.techrose.org) 1 Aug 1996 12:00 am: Hmm… I find your blog to be made up in an interesting fashion, quite different from the ordinary. I like the single line entries and the selection of photo in the ‘contact’ box. And now to explore deeper…

(BTW, I found this link through Daypop)
