a memoir of etchings and wanderings
In a multitude of situations I find myself bewildered by the subject of intellect. Sometimes combined with intelligence and plain taste. On innumerable instances I’m duped by my own inability to judge and refrain from keeping the company of those who clearly do not deserve it. Not to say that they are less intelligent or of a lower intellect – my opinion is just that they are on a different … Continue reading “Do you concur?” →
The holiday spirit has set in at work. Our workstations now sport a mini Christmas tree, the reception and meeting rooms are alight. Last Friday the major action was around the office year-end party and Secret Santa. I was given a beautiful potted bamboo shoot plant and I had no idea all through the weekend who my Secret Santa was. Warming up to surprises as well, it seems 🙂 The … Continue reading “Santa and the 80’s” →
I feel I’m finally ready to narrate the experience which will be the highlight of my annual out-of-country vacation. The immediate action might have been majorly inspired by the commercial blockbuster, but I’ve always been deeply passionate about the ocean and watched countless documentaries and been in awe of those who were able to muster their courage and take the step.

Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar have, for quite a while been making movies which appeal to audiences with absolutely ordinary, even mundane lives to break free; they have been screaming out ‘One life, live it to the fullest’. Be it the original college boys in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, or the superbly inspiring Hrithik Roshan story in ‘Lakshya’, the musical muses in ‘Rock On!’, to the most recent of bromances in … Continue reading “Paint it Red and Blue” →
The world is talking about it. The date has been long anticipated – so many are in mourning and the posters are aptly touching the right nerve. It indeed, all ends here. I can still remember the first day that I was introduced to J.K. Rowling and her magical world – I was loaned a copy of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ which I gobbled up and there was … Continue reading “The Boy Who Lived” →
A post I came across and had to share. Couldnt be a more precise reflection of my thoughts and that of several around me. Not to forget to mention my affinity with the title of the post. “I work at a shit agency(aka firm).The client treats us as shit.My work timings are shit.We do shitty work.Management is shit.The pay is shit.It’s in a shitty neighborhood.Our new business record is shit.It’s … Continue reading “Shit” →
It feels right. Just the time to give up. Even though I might never really be able to let go, now is the time to prepare my heart and mind. It is time.
It is often heard that no matter how old you get, you have never actually seen enough. The world always has something new to offer which can shock you to the core and people will never disappoint with the new antics they can come up with to surprise you – pleasantly or otherwise. My experiences have been parallel to the thought. And I have never been disappointed. The moment I … Continue reading “Cynical Me” →
At the onset of the New Year, this space deserves a happy thought. Through the past few months, there have been several moments which I would love to rewind and play over and over again and quite a few which I would just like best to forget. So, here we are. At 2011, and inevitably, am recollecting some of the most important things which happened in the previous year: • … Continue reading “MXXI” →
