Chatter. Chatter. Chatter. There is too much of it all around; like the background score one didn’t intend to have, and the foreground music that is outrageous yet lingers in your head because, well, it is outrageous. Have you ever wondered how things that you don’t really like tend to hang around? I have. And... Continue Reading →
Decision Making – Buying a Smartphone!
Why did the chicken cross the road? **** I've been contemplating getting a new phone ever since the smartphone fight began before snowballing into a full-fledged battle. I've seen it all—right from the first version of the Android, to the launch of the iPhone 4, to the dip in Nokia sales thanks to the wide... Continue Reading →
Proof of a Famous Adage – Part 1
So, after my admission of sadness yesterday, I went home. I did not know what to do with my time in the bus. I just sat still, and looked out of the window. I was phone-less, music-player-less, book-less, so I just sat and stared outside. And I pondered over my situation. I missed a friend I used to be... Continue Reading →
It’s a Sad Sad Story…

The Picture of Dorian Gray – An Excerpt
An excerpt from, what, in my opinion, is one of the most intelligent books written, and to add to the grandeur of the book, it has been written in a very exquisite language. It's one of those books that make you "think" at every turn of event. It makes you stop and consider in times... Continue Reading →
Accountability
A little over a few months ago, I happened to be in a meeting with an auditor. I guess they’d like to call it an audit—so that was what I as in—an audit. He’s someone I used to (and still do) see every day but we never got around to talking to each other. Somehow,... Continue Reading →
Sprinkled Sentiments # 10
When I'm so full that I feel like I need a Pensieve I write lists. This happens to be one of those times: 250: The rains have been sporadic, but every time it has poured, Mumbai has looked lovely and content. 249. I finished reading the first unabridged play of my life—The Sea Gull by... Continue Reading →
