Sleepless in ......
I have always been a dreamer.But, these days I am not even able to sleep properly. A constant irritation itches on in my mind and I know not where it comes from. As a child, our own Doctor Uncle used to point out that diagnosis was pivotal to medication. I somehow found a deeper meaning in those words in connection to our daily lives even when I wa... more...

THE POST-POST RANT
WOW! From some of the comments that I have got on my last post, I felt like I had a serious chance writing columns for gossip-magazines. But, No. I am sure I would get bored after a while. Digging up celebrity-dirt and conjuring spicy stories out of thin air isn’t eternally alluring so to say. That’s just not me. The last article was a one-off thin... more...

ME......UNLOADED.
  My hair is all askew. My room looks like the ruins of a bombed building after an entire night of air-raids. I look at my image in the mirror. It is a different person. And I get lost in her eyes. A completely different girl looks back at me. My brain stops registering the present. I feel like an alien in a foreign land. And I look back at mom and... more...

Your Tea, Mrs President .
As India gets ready for her first woman President and political alliances within and beyond the public-view brace to ensure her grand entry into the Rashtrapati Bhavan, few issues crop up in the mind of the reluctant observer. It is of course a moment of great pride and honour for Srimati Pratibha Patil to be nominated as the UPA candidate for the ... more...

On Life, Mobiles and Us.
  With reference to Firdaus’s latest post searching for “life” and its meaning, I think more than ever in the history of mankind, today, we are hard pressed to find ourselves answers to certain questions.At this juncture when human values, affections, sentiments are being relegated to the backburners of daily attention, people don’t get enough time... more...

The first thing that Bhiklu did after breathing in first whiffs of moist filth that Mumbai offered to him was marrying Sheilaa.

  “ President   takes  a  tumble”, shouted every front-page caption with the picture of a white-haired main struggling to get up on his feet, helped by aides and guards.Make no mistake dear readers.
