Every time I happen to be in Europe I find the whole dubbing thing baffling. It is surely a cultural thing which I simply don’t get! I find it incredibly funny at best and as a violation of an art work at worst. Coming from a non-English speaking country myself, we simply use subtitles for [...]
One thing that really bugs me and I don’t have any solution to is that reading a hundred blogs on any RSS feeder, while very efficient and functional makes the experience rather dull. In other words reading a blog that you like (sorry no links here as there are too many) from the actual blog [...]
Over the weekend I read that Vladimir Nabokov requested in his will that his unfinished novel, The Original of Laura, should be destroyed on his death, saying that he abhorred the idea of his readers seeing a work he had completed “in my mind” but not on paper.
The decision is in the hands of Nabokov’s [...]

Thanks Domsky for tagging me so without further delay I’ll go straight to the point.
What I’ve read:
Apart from my regular weekly dish which comprises the Guardian (I cannot disagree with you more Dan), The Economist, my blogworm feed, and the NYT supplement that comes with the Observer, I skimmed through the Monocle and wasn’t much [...]
Yesterday I had unlimited joy talking for 4 hours to a bunch of really interesting people from across the creative/arts sphere, all part of the brilliant ICA Discovering Voices workshop.

Good luck [...]

The pressure of writing the first post of the new year have left me wordless but I now have enough experience to overcome this ‘can’t think of anything interesting to write’ syndrome by simply writing about the very first thing that touched me this morning. Try it sometime - there is always this [...]
There’s something infectious in these top of the year lists/chart innit?
So here’s my riff. I compiled a random list of the things and stuff that made my 2007 a wonderful year. (Note that some of the items weren’t created in 2007 but I came across them this year so that what counts):
1. Music: There [...]
It’s this time of the year when we meet a lot of people - friends, friends of friends, work colleagues, clients etc in a relaxed sometimes boozy, festive atmosphere and I remember thinking of it last year as well: especially in multinational/multicultural London people have different habits, values, perceptions and norms regarding friendly kisses and [...]
x-box is for babies.
Who needs x-box (or playstation for that matter) when you can play the real life MMORPG (massively multiplayer offline role-playing game) calls Streets of London on the Morning Rush Hour. Unlike video games, in this one the goal is to get from point A to B (usually from home to the [...]
