There’s been a lot of activity these past few weeks (some would argue, months), and things finally look to be settling down, if only for the time being.
After all the requests over the past 2 years, we now have Music, Movies & Games available on Flipkart. At first look, things seem a little — [...]

As another May winds to a close, just a little peep before the big one.

On the eve of the anniversary, our gang found itself going IPL crazy … not in the colours of the home team but in those of Flipkart. Sachin was surprised they went in all black sweatshirts [...]

A lot of us are familiar with Karan Bajaj, in most part owing to his maiden venture “Keep Off The Grass“. Or perhaps not. Karan Bajaj has now a new labour of love, “Johnny Gone Down”.
