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 »

Facebook photos uploading etiquettes
A lot of people go on holidays so that they could upload pictures on Facebook for various reasons. Enjoying with their family is the last thing on their mind. The reasons for uploading photos might vary from – Making their friends jealous (Hey! Look at me! I am hanging in the air upside down! Stare … Continue reading »
Coupling two Software Engineers…
..is a recipe for disaster. You may ask why? Of course, if you consider ‘making pots of money’ as a consolation, then it might work for you but keeping the money-mindedness aside for a second, here is a list of reasons why it would be better to put your hand in a pit of vipers … Continue reading »
Big Boss and all that murkiness
This year’s Big Boss has left me amused. Yesterday, Pooja Mishra shook that biscuit like J Lo while The Splitsvilla guy almost kicked her butt, using beep inducing swearwords in the process. While all this happened, the rest of the women in the house fell over each other and that guy to pacify him. Now, … Continue reading »
The long and short of it…
Hello to all the fellow internet crawlers, to all my friends connected to me by zeroes and ones. Now now! Don’t jump from your seats and to conclusions. I am not back. It’s one of those three-months itch. Yes, I was missing my affair with my blog. Like all other bloggers who go on a … Continue reading »

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have made this journey a memorable one. Frankly speaking, I never imagined I could make this far. It has been a … Continue reading »
The Hitchhikers guide to a sane life
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 »
Can I live please?
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 »
Ghajini – Movie Review
After coming out of the theatre, I asked mom whether she liked the movie. Her answer was: Isn’t this the kind of movie Sunny Deol used to do 20 years back? I told her that she was a genius and this was the best one line in which the movie can be described. Somehow, the … Continue reading »
Terrorism, Mumbai and the Jealous Kid
During the 1980s, when Punjab was in the claws of Terrorism, I was watching Doordarshan when something came up which I would never forget. I was a kid at that time but the visuals left a lasting impact. They were interviewing a Sikh boy(not more that 14-15 years of age) whose whole family was killed … Continue reading »
Addicted to Himesh
Ever since Camera Phones were banned in my account in office because of increased security and because the Client raised concerns over security, I have been constantly taking cognisance of what my senses had to offer and the conscious movement of my mind to a plane about which I was completely unaware of. I don’t know … Continue reading »
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Basic Etiquette
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 »
Hoodwinked from the slideshow
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 »
A Capsule for Amnesia
“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 »
Salsa Diaries – I
Salsa classes started in my office yesterday. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, thinking of skipping the class but 30 minutes into the class and I realised what a mistake that would have been. Where else can you find a chance of dancing with five different girls. More on it later. First a … Continue reading »
The Know-your-house Tag
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 »

Delhi Bomb Blasts – A pigeon’s view
Hi. My name is Sherley. I am a pigeon and I have been born and brought up in a place called Delhi. I can speak and read English, just like Dory in Finding Nemo. I have known Amit from the last two months. I come to eat grains on his terrace where his mom put … Continue reading »
A Bygone Life
My Grandma was very fond of her convent school days in the British Raj. Once fluttering Barnaby Rudge in her hands as her glasses slid down her nose while catching Santa Barbara on Star World, she told me of the days when she studies with British girls. Her father was a very influential contractor in … Continue reading »
Are we in SIMS?
Generally I don’t ask myself such questions because life is already too complicated, but sometimes such extraordinary and unbelievable incidences happen that one is bound to think that – Something is terribly out of place and abnormal. By the time this post will end, some of you might find it really absurd but I have … Continue reading »
