I was drinking beer waiting for my friend in a bar when this gorgeous girl walked up to me. She: Hi! How are you? Me: Hi! I am good. How are you? She : Great. Can I sit here? What’s your name? Me: Rohit. And yours? She: God. Me (coughing in my beer mug): Which … Continue reading »

Love Compatibility for same sex couples
Polly (my wife) and I sometimes puff up like a puffer fish (with pride, not alarm) when we remember that we got a love compatibility score of 33 out of 36 when our horoscopes were matched. For those who are not faint hearted, horoscope matching used to be a complicated process which required an astrologer … Continue reading »

Traffic control gadgets for the ASIRW (Average Stupid Indian Road Warrior)
India is a tough country. A wise man once said – If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere in the world. From the unfinished roads in mountain passes to the under river invisible pebbly roads to dirt tracks in villages to the pot holed road-ish structures in every city to the dizzying … Continue reading »
The Horny Indian
No matter how much we try to hide a coupling couple by moving the camera away from the bed as they settle beneath the flower printed bed sheet or by bringing two flowers shaking vigorously suddenly in front of the camera, we cannot snuff out our Kamasutra connections. We are 1.21 billion people who have … 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 needles
The first thing that changes in you after returning to India is that the needle of your swear-meter flails very close to the danger mark, almost to the verge of rupturing a nerve in your brain. Well, almost. It happened with me. It’s still happening. I am a lot more angrier now a days. Small … Continue reading »
Slumdogs. White Tigers. Indians.
While I was exchanging the latest gossips of our same-old-same-old life with a friend in U.S. over a Skype call, we steered over to the topic of how the movie ‘Slumdog Millionare‘ and the book ‘The White Tiger‘ have changed the Western mindset towards India. Suddenly from the country of Elephants, yoga, Kamasutra and snake … Continue reading »
The funny(?!?) flowers are here
I was going to write a serious post this week, but then I got up early on Sunday morning and thought of taking a walk in the garden which surrounds my apartment. I saw a few species of flowers which I have never seen in my life before and thought of taking some pictures and … Continue reading »
What is the purpose of your life?
Last Sunday, as I was trotting towards the nearest bus stand with two of my friends as we hurried to catch up our show of Transformers:Revenge of the fallen, we were halted in the middle of the road by three young chaps. They hailed from a Christian society and were very polite. One of them … Continue reading »
The Blame Game
Oscar Wilde once said – What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. People end up reminding me of that quote too often. On a dull cloudy Monday morning, during an official meeting, someone passed a blame. It was subtle. Well crafted. I snapped. It was … Continue reading »

Randomizer : Eurovision, Dances with Wolves & IPod touch
A few of my British colleagues introduced me to Eurovision just before the semifinals started this year. I was quite surprised that I have never heard of this contest before. When something has been going on from the last 50 years, you are bound to hear about it sometime. My faith in my “already gone to … Continue reading »
The price of Happyness
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 »
The flowers are here!
Ever since winters have gone on a break here, Manchester has been on a color riot. I have never seen such a mind-boggling variety of flowers before and that too within a radius of a kilometer of my house. So, a brand new camera and a plethora of colours to experiment upon was reason enough … Continue reading »

p.s. NO. I did not get all this in a forwarded email.
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 »
I am
I am the fish whom the eagle caught in his claws and lifted in the sky. A second before I died, I thought I could fly. I am Heathcliff, the one who could never forgive Catherine all his life but knew that a slight brush of her fingers on his cheek would have melted away the … Continue reading »
The curious case of Love and Sex
While I was watching “The Curious case of Benjamin Button“, there was something which amused me. Its not as if the movie seeded the thought in my mind, but yes, it did fanned it. I have discussed it with a lot of people since then, and the answers I got amused me more. No, I … Continue reading »
