  • the inevitable

    So I write about living with brother today. I always wonder how strikingly different we are. After living at home for 17 years, I started living in a hostel. With new people, new surroundings, family did keep me grounded. But I grew apart, in a detached way. Further life moves helped me make my mental…

    married friend – I have haldi-kunku at my home on Monday.I (taking the cue) – oh! so I have to come ?married friend (teasing) – you know its only for married girls.I (dramatic tone) – oh! what double standards!confession 1 – I try VERY hard to understand and empathize with the worries, troubles, tensions of…

  • new first ?

    A first is a first. After migrating to old new territory I was just happy being happy. You know how small kids obsess over a new shiny clean slate ? No ? That’s what I was doing. I would go to the page look at it longingly and smile and close the tab. I even…

  • The thing with apocalyptic American movies is it looks really dreadful in the movies and you hardly wonder the ‘what ifs’. But then as you all might have come to know, Sandy did happen and wrecked havoc. If you have not heard about it then I will not really judge you. Because guess what, even…

  • DEMAND

    The world needs better systems where MEN/GUYS/BOYS can understand that ‘women/girls/females also work’. On weekdays/weekends. I think I have been programmed to assume not to disturb/lower my expectations any ‘boy(s)’ around me when they declare they are working. Why are these programs absent (taken for granted) in the guy psyche ? Not because I am…

Sometimes I feel pathetic about this. I question everything around. On those days it sucks being human.# On my journey to…

  • post a secret

    I saw a TED talk from the creator of this website. Inspired me to write my own. Of course I am not much for anonymity. So might as well share stuff openly.* As a kid I used to think that channel V VJ’s and MTV VJ’s were rivals like India-Pakistan. I used to think and…

  • Hiatus

    There is no internet at home currently. Plus work policies include blogging into “social networking” and thus *no access zone*. And I have had the most lucid thoughts flowing through my head during this one week, which have found a place as random scribbles in my notepad taken during sessions/meetings. Irony or what ? Or…

  • *this is a really old draft which I found today..was written in the month of april!P.S. This post is for 2 girls who are very dear to me. And they know who they are 🙂Life is mostly weird and pointless. And oh yeah, its vicissitudes are vast and complex (to quote JKR). Things are thrown…

  • Before I could blink my eyes another new year is already here. And I have to start believing that its not some magic quill but myself writing this new year post. Not that new years are not fun, but they kind of make you think, make you plan new resolutions (and the cliched : oh,…
