Kiran's Musings: My take on Laputa: castle in the sky
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2006/04/my-take-on-laputa-castle-in-sky.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Sunday, April 09, 2006. My take on Laputa: castle in the sky. Fast forward to 2002 and a thread on the DVD Forums. A lifesize Laputian robot stands atop the roof of the Ghibli museum. In Mitaka. The delightful relationship that devlelops between the two children is at the centre of the human story. They have a totally innocent love for each other that pirate leader Dola tries to get her many sons to understand. Bromsgrove, United Kingdom.

Kiran's Musings: India Part 3
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2009/12/india-part-3.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Sunday, December 06, 2009. On our final day in Agra, we took a trip out to Fatehpur Sikri. After watching the local monkeys playing for a bit we caught the boat back to the mainland and had lunch at a local Chinese restaurant and an abortive visit the the famous (and now infamous) Taj Mahal hotel. By the end of the week it was finally time for the dinner at the Racecourse to celebrate my Aunt's 70th birthday attended by several of my Aunt ...

Kiran's Musings: December 2009
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Sunday, December 06, 2009. The joys (and pains) of media. I've written about this before in my piece on minimalist lifestyles. In the last few years I set about converting all my precious media into digital form. The majority of my DVDs are now in m4v format. And all of my music has been ripped to mp3 (although I have just re-ripped it all to a lossless. A lot of people rely on these multidisk NAS solutions but it isn't foolproof. If m...

Kiran's Musings: May 2010
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Sunday, May 09, 2010. Visual tagging of music and it's manipulations. Kent - 400 Slag. It's Swedish before you start thinking anything else! T'Pau - China in your hand. At this point in my life, I still cling to the belief that the best album I have ever heard is OK computer by Radiohead. To my mind no other album went on such a journey from the raucous, confused and fuzzy opening of Airbag. Through to the chilled out, lethargic The Tourist.

Kiran's Musings: The AppleTV
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2009/02/appletv.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Sunday, February 22, 2009. It started last summer when I was sitting around talking with some friends about what a pain a large media collection is. With music - a lot of people have migrated over to mp3 and I have to say that with a decent ripper ( EAC. And compressing to 192 kbps VBR I struggle to tell the difference between the mp3 and the CD - I can tell there. Which allowed you to compress films down. DVDs are encoded in MPEG2. Firstl...

Kiran's Musings: October 2009
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Thursday, October 15, 2009. Today was the last day of the Ganpati festival where people took their Ganpatis (idols shaped like Ganesh, the elephant-headed god) and cast them into the sea. This lasted all day with various vans and carts heading towards the sea loaded with clay Ganpatis and whole families. This carried on into the night with bright lights, music and many more firecrackers. We were suddenly in a different world. Yes, ther...

Kiran's Musings: January 2011
http://kirankamtekar.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
My thoughts and articulations as I settle into the working world. Sunday, January 16, 2011. All good TV shows should come to an end. Last year saw the return of one of my favourite TV shows: Futurama. I was apprehensive about the new series - after all it's been away for 7 years! The writers had scattered to other shows (including the geek-tastic. So be sure to check it out if you haven't seen it. TOW the morning after. The second series surely wouldn't repeat this mistake, would it? A lot and amazingly ...
