Neil Gaiman on Love
Wordsmiths are geniuses. They make your head spin. They take you places you've been to that you never thought you'd go to again, mostly because you willed yourself not to. But once you're there, you stay. You stay because you can't go away soon enough. They write all the nice and funny lines that millions of people all over the world use to [...]
Seth Rogen as Mantis
Seth Rogen as Mantis in Kung Fu Panda 2 3D put forth one epic line in the second half of the movie that now makes me believe that subliminal adult messages set in movies are a thing of yore, with things being more up-front and blatantly obvious now. Mantis, on being captured and tied up, facing impending death says this: All I wanted in life [...]
Urban Banyan
I like t-shirts and I cannot lie. I have always been fascinated by t-shirts because they are comfortable and trendy. One can use a t-shirt to make a statement and they are an apt reflection of one's personality. Just like everyone else, I want my t-shirts to be unique and 'cool'.

Metallica in Uttar Pradesh?
India is scheduled to host its first ever Formula 1 grand prix in the Jaypee circuit in Greater Noida.

I was just involved in a discussion on cookery shows with another buddy of mine, [...]

Prolonged Silence
Have you ever felt that feeling when you have so much to say or so much to express, but you don't know where to start? And when you don't know where to start from, you keep mum rather than unleash verbiage in an uncoordinated asynchronous fashion? Yeah. That's me right now. It is an overwhelming feeling which is like the kind that hits you [...]
Delhi Diary – The Republic Day Parade
Ever since I had a chance to live and work up North, one of the things I've wanted to do before I make the inevitable move back to South India was to witness the Republic Day parade live. I managed to do just that on Wednesday, thanks to a colleague of mine who was able to scrounge VIP passes. These seats were among the best in the house, next [...]
