My experiences in life sprinkled with humor and a unique genre of philosophy
I just finished watching Rockstar a while back. Yet again. I think it is clearly one of those cult movies which I can watch over and over again. And still not get bored. Every time I watch it, there is a different angle I end up appreciating. I watched it for the very first time Read more about Rockstar[…]
I have a very nasty habit of leaving things unfinished. Half complete. Just short of a satisfying finish. And whatever-you-may-want-to-call-the-syndrome. Probe me and look around. You’ll find several such instances. Unfinished blog articles, stories, half-empty bottles of scotch while I’ve already opened a new one (although I do have a logical explanation on that, but Read more about Meet Me Halfway[…]
It’s tough for a Delhi-born and bred kid to adopt any other city in his lifetime. By design, Delhiites are brought up with an over-the-top and falsified feeling of self-pride. They are visually and shamelessly materialistic. Boasting about their worldly possessions comes as naturally to them as pranks to a mischievous kid. However, unlike the Read more about My Adopted City[…]
For a very long time, I abstained from writing on the most controversial topic – LOVE. It’s not that I haven’t been in love. I have been a provider as well as a recipient of love – and may I say multiple times in my life. But that’s exactly what I ponder every time. Was Read more about Love and Relationships[…]
I am a Night Guy. As far back in time as I can remember, I have always found peace with myself at odd hours of the clock rather than the early ones. Give me a double shot of Single Malt on the rocks, some soulful music (preferably trance) and loneliness, and you’ll find me completely Read more about The Night Guy[…]

He was concerned that despite being such a nice human being, God fearing, talented and having a pleasing personality, his relationships (especially friendships with people he liked) were not as Read more about Circle of Friends[…]
Circa 2001. I was almost through college, having pursued the traditional and orthodox Bachelors of Commerce course. Alongside I had also started off with Chartered Accountancy course but was not able to clear the Intermediate examination in the first attempt, so I was a bit disheartened. Parents, as usual, were encouraging me with the words Read more about Tracing the roots of entrepreneurship in Me[…]
(This was my first poem. I wrote it way back in 2000-01) They told me to follow the sun, But clouds instead I chose. Instructed to walk the lighted streets, took the dark alleys, leading to doors that were closed. Plastic smiles, and an artificial sense of fun, But sooner or later, the Read more about I, ME, MYSELF[…]
(a (A very beautiful poem by Mother Teresa. I couldn’t resist putting it up here) People are often unreasonable, Illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some Read more about Anyway (Mother Teresa)[…]
Sometimes when I’m all alone, I get into an deep introspective mode. I begin to question my beliefs, values, approach towards life and basically – the fundamental of my existence. While I’m never able to conclusively come up with concrete answers, it’s surely a fascinating journey of self discovery. The purpose of this blog was Read more about Being myself[…]
