If you’ve been following the IPL, the tickets at several stadiums went on sale today. Check out the details of ipl tickets here. Pretty reasonably priced, in my opinion!

Hey everyone,

I’m not feeling too good this week, so there’ll be no more blog posts till Saturday. If you’re looking for something to read, check out my other blog about the IPL - The Unofficial IPL Blog

My funky Mummies-hate-the-stock-market theory found some subscribers today, when The Economic Times published my poetic interpretation of the Sensex! Check out the online edition here.

As all of you already know, this blog is a part of my latest get rich quick scheme. This is a part of my master plan to take over the universe. Only thing is that it has not been working very well! So, I’ve been on an overdrive in the past few weeks to convince people to invest in my blog. “It’s just like investing in the stock market, only better” I’ve told them. And, the very nice folks at ReviewGist saw this fantastic business opportunity and have bought advertising space on the Blog! Hurray for me!

ReviewGist is this startup company that does product reviews for you. But it uses some voodoo-Artificial Intelligence-magic-thing to automatically gather reviews from all over the web and come up with an objective ranking for the product. I’ve found it very useful. Check out the review of the N95 (My dear dear phone) and the gaming consoles (My dear dear dream).

Now, as a way to expand the business, I’m going to try to convince everyone why it is a good idea to give me money and I can promise absolutely nothing in return. Except my eternal gratitude. I have a lot of that to give away this month. So, if you’d like to buy advertising space on this blog, please email me at aditya@pointlesswanderings.com, and I will pledge my soul to you as a Thank You!

But wait, it gets better. I’m starting a new service for all YOU READERS OF THIS BLOG! I’ve even prepared an advertising pitch for it:

Do you feel like you have more enemies than friends? Does everyone in the world seem to be out to get you? Would you like to see your friends insulted and humiliated in public? Don’t worry! The Pointless Wanderings blog is here to rescue you!

For the low, low introductory price of Rs. 250, I will grant you this wish - I will write a slandering, mis-informed, utterly untrue, but entirely believable post throwing muck on your least favorite person. Doesn’t it sound GREAT! Have the pleasure of humiliating your enemies from behind the cover of anonymity! That too for the low price of Rs. 250*! Hurry! Don’t wait! DO IT NOW!

*Conditions Apply. Lots of them actually. Least of them not being that you offer me police protection. Rs. 1000 extra charge is victim is in the same country as me, and Rs. 1000 extra on top of that if the victim is related to either Deve Gowda or the Buffaloes.

As Pazz pointed out earlier today, two of my articles managed to get published in the J.A.M magazine. Hurray! But I haven’t managed to get my paws on a copy of the magazine, so if you have it, I’d appreciate it if you could scan/photograph the two pages and send it to me at aditya@pointlesswanderings.com

Also, check out the newly redesigned Pointless News site! It comes with new themes, new features and a whole lot of new attitude.
(Honestly, I have no idea what that means, but it sounds cool, so I said it)
