Galvinize aka the Anti-PDA

MOLESKINE

Another phenomenal article from AoM.

Sick of your PDA? Is it too complicated to use? Not organized or customizable to your needs?

Why not switch back to pen and paper? I plan to integrate this "system" when I get back home.

The Day the World Went Away

Heyooooo!

Well, haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I ought to update.

I am in love.

I am in love with Royal Enfield motorcycles. There are few things more classic or masculine than an iconic Royal Enfield. My sudden passion for these motorcycles began when I noticed that everyone had either a Bajaj, Yamaha, Honda or TVS cycle parked out in front of the dorm (hostel). Then, as I was walking passed all the monotony, my eyes and ears were caught by the medium-low thumping of an engine, powering a stallion among ponies. The engine noise roared past me and I saw the embodiement of beauty: A silver Royal Enfield Bullet 350. I ignored everything; the driver, the people around me, the ringing of my cell phone. All my concentration was all on the way the sun shine hit the silver machine. The sound tugged at my heart strings and caused my hair to stand on end at same time. A dichotomy of ethereal beauty and terror.

Okay enough drooling over a machine (I can't help myself).

Here is a picture thanks to a quick Google search




Thanks to www.uncommonmotorcycles.com for the picture.


If you don't find this vehicle even the least bit of attractive, I would advise you to make an appointment with you optometrist to get your eyes checked.

Other than my new obsession, I recently got a new suit! I love being in India just based on the idea that I can get a suit CUSTOM TAILORED FROM SCRATCH! For about 100 USD, I can get a three piece suit (jacket, trousers and waistcoat) made to my exact dimensions. The reason I required tailoring services is because I will be attending a charity ball on April 18th. I am very excited to show off my suit because I will taking it a bit further in the embellishment of my suit. Now, I need to find a pocket square and I'll be all set. I don't plan on getting a tie clip because I would rather get one in the US (I really don't know where to get one in India, actually).

This love/obsession for more gentlemanly behavior and interests is all because of this website:

www.artofmanliness.com

Take a gander. Some great stuff on how to be a man and do things that men should be doing.

Otherwise, I hope everyone is doing well and please leave me your thoughts on motorcycles, suits and dressing and maybe how you feel about being a man and what it would mean to you or men in your life.

Cheers!
