Schadenfraude towards Rule-Breakers
While it is ingrained within our moral fibre to play the role of the good samaritan in case one notices people in distress, especially when they have been part of a grevious accident and require emergency medical treatment, I am facing a serious moral dilemma with regard to how one should approach the situation when rule-breakers are subject to [...]
How Are The Things?
There is this particular person who I have worked with at the office who has a peculiar way of greeting people. He says - "How are the things?". His inclination towards adopting an expression that he's probably heard when abroad and making a totally bastardized version of the same has had me in splits every time he has asked me this [...]
At World’s End
The end of the world is upon us. Most definitely so. Things are all going awry, and nothing is making sense anymore. I put one search on facebook for 'Elisha Cuthbert', the hottest woman alive, and all I found after some stupid fan page created was a whole set of users with the names - 'Ankit Dixit', 'Zubby Raja', 'Rabbi Kalra' and so on and so [...]

They star some big names in the Hindi film industry and their music is already being played on most channels, and the stars of the respective movies are appearing in promotional chat shows, news interviews and the whole publicity jazz thing that accompanies the big release of a [...]

A whole bunch of people had switched loyalties to move to the TOI, and I remember my folks also choosing to move to it, discarding the good old Indian Express, quite unceremoniously. [...]
How’s it going?
Being anti-social is cool. To a very large extent. The realms of anti-social behaviour entitle me to come up with snappy answers to polite bullshit conversation, and make sure that those who try and make random chit-chat are kept at bay. I don't want to answer people with stuff like - 'hey, how are you?' or 'did you have your lunch?' or [...]
Death to Select News Channels
Cross-posted on Churumuri.com, my third contribution to that site. Saturday, July 21, saw the entire world being engulfed by ?Pottermania? for the very last time, with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Our country was not spared of this phenomenon either, with people lining up in the wee hours of the weekend morning in front [...]
