The spider-coloured leaves fall on the ground. She’s wrapped in a burgundy turtle-neck sweater and a black jacket. A deep purple scarf gently caresses her neck. A bucket hat with a small, silken black bow sits on her head. Her auburn hair falls softly on her shoulders and kisses her occasionally when the wind blows.... Continue Reading →
The Window Seat
There’s this friend I was trying to counsel. Yes, that sounds a little pompous considering I’m the one who needs a little help right now, but anyway. Ok so, we were talking... no wait... he was talking. After a long time of self-inflicted, ego-boosting, surreptitious muteness that makes a man proud of the fact that... Continue Reading →
Direction: Anjaana; Storyline: Anjaani; That’s Bollywood for you!
Disclaimer: This is going to sound more like an I-love-Ranbir Kapoor post than a review on Anjaana Anjaani. If you want to hit me by the end of it, don't you dare, because I warned you already. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they want change and want to move on. There came such a time in my... Continue Reading →
I gave myself ten days…
Sometime ago, I gave myself 10 days to put right the mess in my life. Mess? Well, a little bit of this and that which makes me cringe inside and makes me want to scream. I’m an idealist and a yearning perfectionist. I love the rose tinted things in life. I believe everything is nice, everyone... Continue Reading →
Walked away or stay; did she?
She walked down the lonely dusty road. Structures pulled up around her. The narrow winding lanes cut each other at every other angle but at right angles. The structures bore no paint and they had lines that looked like doodles by a student bored in class. She traced her steps and let the structures grow... Continue Reading →
“If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman…”
Behold the pleasures of shared data! Shared music specially. And, we've laid our hands on the most extensive music collection at work. I've been listening to the most diverse music for 3 days now. I'd like to disperse the tunes I've come in contact with in a very brief period of time. Music doesn't need time to... Continue Reading →
Mazgoan. Mumbai.
There's a charm to it. A craziness that I hope is not found elsewhere in the world. A momentum that is independent of external forces.  A sense of direction. A purpose. With various facets of life co-existing side by side. An air that lends itself a lingering a mark of all that has been. And pictures that narrate... Continue Reading →
Don’t want to be a monkey…
Before I jump to what I want to say, I’d like to narrate a small experiment thatI once heard and one that has stayed with me. Here it goes: In some faraway land, eight monkeys were put in a room. In the middle of the room there was a ladder, leading to a bunch of... Continue Reading →
The Get-Over-It Theory
Disclaimer: This is not going to sound like an optimist’s view. It may sound like a pessimist’s view. I’m not sure though! But, don’t read through thinking that it’s a goody goody theory of getting over something/someone. Also, this is not applicable for extreme setbacks like death/natural calamities. It’s just about getting over the everyday,... Continue Reading →
