Social Darwinism: The Robin Dunbar Approach
A very well written review of one of Robin Dunbar’s works which actually explains the idea behind his thinking. I personally came across this concept a little over a year back and it made quite a lot of sense. Irrespective of the social networking phenomenon, there is always a compact social group beyond which things are rather arbitrary. This is a very interesting read.

Smartphone OS Comparison →
Here’s a superb analytical piece on which one is the best smartphone OS out there right now. I have been very vocal about my praise for Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platform while being highly critical of the Blackberry OS (and phone) from RIM (Research In Motion), which, incidentally, doesn’t even have a mention in this article.
The other smartphone platforms...

Twenty Ten
It’s that time of the year when people start making these so-called “resolutions” which seldom seem to stick for most people. Some are even calling it the end of the decade, which, technically speaking is quite incorrect. It’s not like we celebrated the end of the millennium when 2000 was getting over, did we? But then again, there’s no harm looking at 2011 as the beginning of a new decade. Giving...

Ellipsis
The frown. Possibly one of the most complicated expressions that the world has ever seen. I’ve seen it being pulled off with as much as a slight effort. True story.
Change is imminent, at least most of the time. Only a microcosm tends to get the best out of the remaining bit. While this statement may seem a little too wild, it is something that has been observed, time and again. Nobody would want...

Of recoil and grace
June 2008: Late goodbye. A new ‘home’. New hopes and aspirations. Yet, a sense of being resigned to fate.
July 2008: Turns out home isn’t meant to be what it means. Strangely, a seemingly post-apocalyptic wasteland will have to suffice.
June 2009: An acceptance of sorts. Words to expression. All undone thanks to a certain unforeseeable event.
July 2009: Doubt. Questions v. Answers. Impulse. The...

6,04,800 Moments
For many years now, I have been intrigued by the phenomenon of coincidence. The very thought of it has filled me with a sense of relief, for it has usually been something that gives me a very optimistic view of life as it is. Of late, however, coincidences have become so regular that I am beginning to doubt their very relevance. Why is it that we tend to give way too much importance to these...
