Morning. Rituals. A Mug full of strong ginger tea and Hindustan Times. Like many others, there\’s a \”Please Don\’t Disturb\” sign hanging on my face. I don\’t know how many people of my generation and the subsequent generations enjoy this age old ritual these days. The famous BMW case. The case that was the precursorContinue reading “Rags to Witness”

Doodh Ka Doodh…
Mrs. Sharma was a long time resident of Doctors Apartments. Her buttocks were so heavy that you would think that they were a part of the apartments\’ foundation. Mrs. Sharma was a stickler for hygiene and cleanliness. Thats why she would often look outside her balcony with disgust. The thing was that the footpath acrossContinue reading “Doodh Ka Doodh…”
Let Me Summarise – Our Love of the Gist
I took this pop-quiz that rates your life. Even while you\’re answering the really straightforward questions, you can make out how you\’re doing. But then there\’s the joy of watching all that in the form of bar graphs and decimals. We human beings have a strong attraction for summaries. We love the fact that ourContinue reading “Let Me Summarise – Our Love of the Gist”
KBC, Shah Rukh aur Tum
So the other day I was at the Dutta Roys in Andrewsganj. KBC was going on flat-out on the flat screen. It may seem idiotic, but I don\’t own an idiot box. So whenever I\’m here, its a novelty to watch TV. I love quizzing too, so I was gleefully answering Shah Rukh\’s questions(all correctly)Continue reading “KBC, Shah Rukh aur Tum”
Smile At Will
Smile every opportunity you get to do so. Even if you dont, look at a tree, a leaf or the sky and smile. For me, I have this photo of Preity Zinta on my desktop. Sometimes I just look at her and smile. Smiles are so important. For me, when I smile, I feel soContinue reading “Smile At Will”
Celebrity Sighting
I think eighty percent of the charm of seeing a celebrity in real life is the feeling of deja vu. \”Oh shit! I\’ve seen him somewhere! He looks so small this time!\” Of course you moron! The last time you saw him was when he jumped off a cliff, rang the bells of a temple,Continue reading “Celebrity Sighting”
God is Great
The universe has been in chaos since it banged real big. The earth has been a bubbling cauldron since it got ejected out of the sun\’s womb. Its been more than 4 billion years since her birth and we still cant give rational credit for millions of deeds and misdeeds that occur upon us everyContinue reading “God is Great”
Lazy Bones and Creative Minds
The winter this year in Delhi seems especially trying. Its such bone cracking chill outside and inside the home that I have to keep drinking tea and coffee and run to the loo every half hour. Pissing is almost as annoying as getting out of the bed in the morning. There\’s just too much exposure!Continue reading “Lazy Bones and Creative Minds”
Turning twenty nine
Birthdays, for me, would be indistinguishable from other days had it not been for my efforts to dramatize the whole occasion by assuming a solemn air. I think if I did not do that, I would forget that another year had passed and I had aged another year. So I do a lot of reflectingContinue reading “Turning twenty nine”
Generosity Impersonified
Another red light. I guess I must have been in a good mood, coz, I reached into my pocket, took out a coin and dropped it into the cupped palm of the beggar woman. The baby on her hip was playing with a deflated balloon—pulling it and releasing it to whip in the air, orContinue reading “Generosity Impersonified”
