Posted by Abhijith as Uncategorized


I had always wanted to write a post about employers looking at their employee’s social lives to find out more about them, but Bhaktha beat me to it by writing a column in The Hindu.
That was a very ‘official’ column; identifying what to blog and what not to is difficult.

Seven Samurai (Shichinin no samurai) (1954)
