Musings and Such, Nothing Much
some random thoughts and scribbles by aditya johri
From 2003-2006 I was an intermittent blogger. I had to remove the blog when I moved from Stanford as it was posted on Stanford's Movable Type site. To preserve the posting, some of which I really liked, I have put them online on my VT space and hopefully I will take (get) the time to sort them out and rebuild them as a blog. The topics I wrote about include music (mostly ghazals and bollywood songs), movies, and interesting happenings around town.
Here are the individual pages, not all internal links are functional but the external links work on the pages:
