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.

I was in Manchester when Geet and I decided to get married. It was an arranged marriage and our parents had given us a month to talk and decide.

India is a tough country. A wise man once said – If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere in the world.

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 »
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.

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 »

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.

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 »

It has been a week now since the ruthless attacks. Public anger has never been so omnipresent and neither have our politicians come under such a heavy scrutiny(no wonder they have been royally goofing up and giving tactless statements which is doing nothing less than fuelling the fire). Targeting foreign nationals in the attacks was … 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 »
