Dear Phuddu Married Man, If you are wondering what Phuddu means, let me enlighten you. It means a coward, spineless douche bag. Sometimes I wonder what grave necessity threw you into the act of marriage. Was it your parents? Was it some sort of inferiority complex because people around you were getting married? Or was … Continue reading »
I belong to the generation who, while growing up, treated the word internet as something divinely unattainable. It was like a spaceship from another planet which crash-landed on Earth – exclusive and quarantined. I remember, while doing my Masters, someone pointed a guy to me in college and whispered in my ears that he had an … Continue reading »
Forrest Gump once said – “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” I beg to differ. There are no horrors in a box of chocolates. “Life is like a men’s beauty parlour. You never know what unimaginable activity is going to hurt your eyes.” Now there is drama … Continue reading »
Religion comes naturally to my parents. For me it’s like an invisible sibling with whom I have a love-hate relationship. It’s amazing how the rituals and processes to appease Gods which you were very sure your parents were never aware of suddenly resurface during ceremonies. And then there is our family astrologer. I was so … Continue reading »
Who could have thought that Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu will spark off dazzling dinner table debates at home? I saw the movie with mom, dad, sis and Geet (yeah! Polly has been rechristened Geet. It was long overdue). Although the movie was above average, it broke many boundaries around how girls are expected to … Continue reading »

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. – Bishop Desmond Tutu So when my eyes fell upon this news article … Continue reading »
Do you remember this photograph? Well, if you don’t, then you better READ THIS. Anyways, the point is that I have to change the photograph a little bit. This is how it looks like now: (Clockwise from top : S, A, L, P, Ra, Ru and Me) I need answers. I feel like exploding. I … Continue reading »
I met Anjali(name changed) during my two months job related training in Bhubaneswar. She was a jovial and friendly person who made me laugh at the drop of a hat. I still chuckle when I remember her imitating Salman while dancing to “Just Chill” during the Diwali Party. After our training got over, she went … Continue reading »
The Hitchhikers series is back again! In the past we have dwelled into topics like How to lose a guy and Basic Etiquette. Now we shall dwell into something more profound. I am not implying that we all lead an insane life. Mind it!!! But there are times when we might drag another fellow human … Continue reading »
Ages ago, I was tagged by Nita and Sulz and till now I have been shamelessly ignoring the tags. But the guilt is killing me and I must finish the task assigned to me. Keeping the melodrama aside, I’ll start with Nita’s tag. This is what she tagged me to write about. What does Feminism … Continue reading »
I went to Barakhamba Road yesterday. I was standing at the exact place where the bomb blast happened last year. I moved my right ankle in a semi circle to displace the dirt on the road. Maybe I was trying to see if it was still red? I went there to meet my very old … Continue reading »
[Warning : This might be one of those stupid personal posts which everyone tends to avoid, but then what the heck! Its new year and its my blog!!!] We all wish for certain dreams to come true.

I really have to make a new page for my awards section before my sidebar exceeds the distance between the Earth and the moon. I am supposed to pass this award to bloggers I like. So, I would like this … Continue reading »
Lets clear the airs first, shall we? The post is not about girls!!!! Its just about people in general. Its about those inconsiderate, tactless and thoughtless people who perform the most disgusting acts in public(and at home too!!!) and don’t feel the S of Shame. Infact, the insensitivity is so deep rooted that they don’t … Continue reading »
So…Diwali came and went and all I got was one lousy holiday. Life, it seems, is running faster than I can fathom. A day after Diwali, I got an invitation to view a Picasa album of a friend who is in US of A. She was there with me in Chennai from the last two … Continue reading »
Dunno why but I always feel so lazy and drowsy around Diwali and New Year. I have this overall numbness sweeping over all my body and I can’t do anything, except for munching dry fruits, gulping cold drinks, attacking sweets, calling up old friends to wish, decorating the house, watching television and maybe exploding a few crackers(although … Continue reading »
“itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai” (Its a poetic version of – When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to take you to your goal) I know this dialogue has nothing to do with the “capsules for Amnesia”, … Continue reading »
Reema tagged me for this very interesting meme. The moment I saw that I was tagged, I ended up in a cold sweat, simply because I could for-see the physical oscillations, jumping around and digging which I had to undergo to complete the tag. Mom has a very fascinating habit of putting away things and … Continue reading »
