Paranoia Sets In
The first time after the Bangalore serial blasts, I had to head towards Majestic to a bookstore to pick up a few text books for my sister. This was about a week after July 25th '08, and as I alighted from the bus and walked up on the bridge that leads towards the Majestic theatre side of the bus stand, despite the fact that I was listening to [...]
Making up for Lost Time
On the second Saturday of March this year, I was out in the evening to watch this movie titled 'The Other Boleyn Girl' at a cinema hall in downtown Seattle. After the movie was over, I was still in no mood to return home. Thus, I made a beeline for my favourite bar there, at the Capitol Hill Arts Center, and was sipping on a mug of Pabst Blue [...]
Notes about Nothing – Work Anniversaries
Its official now, I've spent more time outside college than I did within it. Not that I attended too many classes and all that, but I guess I've been a Corporate Ho longer than I was an undergrad student.

It is either that or pictures of them on their travels, proudly standing in front of known monuments with a smug look on their face that says - 'I was [...]

I have noticed that most people tend to litter on the floor, and the slightly more [...]
Window of The World
In true Chinese style of making copies of everything famous and then exploiting these ersatz creations to the max, they have managed to create a theme park in Shenzhen, titled Window of the World. The Window of the World has all sorts of copies of major landmarks and of famous places and monuments, such as Mt.Rushmore, the Capitol building, a [...]
Allah ke Bande
Allah Ke Bande is a song by Kailash Kher from the movie Waisa Bhi Hota hai. The first time I heard that song was on the radio when I was travelling on the office bus, towards the office, trying to sustain a morning conversation with someone, and talking arbit stuff in general. As soon as I heard the chorus of the song - Allah ke bande hasde, [...]
