2) Washed my hair with dettol liquid soap instead of the usual Fructis routine
3) Experimented with food (Please don’t try this at home) Had rice with jelly… Ewww
4) Called up my ex’s More
It’s been a week already with the accident. A week! A week since I have moved about. True I came from Baroda to Delhi, but that was quite an adventure in itself.
Dad tells me he was crestfallen when he saw me being wheeled out of the airport. He couldn’t even see More
It took me eight months to convince my dad that my little brother would never wear a leather belt. Even if it is snakeskin or crocodile skin or any damn skin… He watched in horror as young Yatin paraded in a cheap chunky belt with a false buckle and bright colours.
“My belt was 800 Bucks. What he is wearing must More
Dear Diary
It’s one of those days when you wake up with an ache in your head and a fever. There are places to go to. People to meet. Important people. Big people. And I find myself unable to even get out from the bed. My eyes are puffy, having cried myself to sleep again last night.
I never ever liked getting dressed. But I used to. For him. So that when he came home, tired from work and bitter from More
*This one is for Bauji - My Grandfather, whom I love the most. Bauji, whose striking reflection I have always wanted to be.*
You wake up in the middle of the night and smile. He is talking in his sleep again… He is scolding her again for forgetting to put salt in his food. You giggle. Its been an year since she went away. And he still cant let go. When at nights, she descends from the heavens to meet him, He just cant help arguing with her.
He starts again and then pauses in mid sentence. As if remembering something… His face contorts and you fill with sadness. He turns on his side now, facing More

Ok since we are very close to the end of the year, and since i have so much time on my hands (having quit my job) I think I can afford to write this up.
Since the last list proved to be a hit, I thought I’d make a new one. This is a list of things I found out about myself in the course of the last 1 year. I have prepared this after a lot of reflection and deliberation.
1. I am impatient when it comes to waiting in a queue
2. I am otherwise more patient than I like.
3. I hate traffic jams
4. I thought I was scared of heights, More
Last night I couldn’t sleep. There was a lot of traffic on the road. I have decided to take a break from my cell phone, so it remains switched off most of the time. Having nothing to do, I thought of my favourite things in the world and made a small list.
1. Making soap bubbles while washing hands.
2. Making pot pourries out of the dried garden flowers.
3. Staring at the moon in the wee hours.
4. Playing with stray dogs.
5. Sitting on the dividers More
People close to you have been taking advantage of you. Your basic honesty has been getting in your way. Many opportunities that you have had offered to you in the past have had to be surrendered because you refuse to take advantage of others. More
I sometimes walk out of the smelly ward, just to stray around the dilapitated building. To get out of the nauseating smell actually. I walk around usually, meet friends, help people get to the right departments.
Today I thought I would just stand and watch people. I went over to the rusty gates that witness the coming and going of a thousands of sick people everyday. More
I saw them selling the yellow bike. It wasn’t a bike anymore. Just mangled iron. And steel. There wont be any pizzas coming to this house. Maybe they would have to shut Dominoes over the weekend. His library card hangs over the nail. Along with the scores of medals that he won. Gold, silver, bronze. They used to glisten in the sun. But now there wont be any sunlight in this room. Because there is no one to draw the blinds.
The drums are there. Standing in his ’safe corner’ as he liked to call it. More
A house for Mr. Biswas is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read thousands of books. AHFMB follows the life of Mr. Biswas from the moment he was born to the time when he dies. His life is very ordinary. Mr Biswas is an ambitionless man who just goes through his life trying to find some pleasure in small things. More
Indian cricket, these days, is in a bit of hole. First, there was the much awaited showdown between Jagmohan Dalmiya and Sharad Pawar, but sadly, it didn’t live upto its build up. The second spat involving the captain and the coach, though, gave enough fodder to the news-makers. Sourav Ganguly was called all the names that were there, and many more. It seemed that everyone had an opinion on the matter.

The kind of theories and prejudices people have formulated towards the Business Process Outsourcing, or more commonly known as BPO, sector needs a paradigm shift. The industry as a whole has been adjudged with the phrasal adjectives like ‘a loser’s job’, ’short-term solution’, ‘way to fast-buck’, and many more; but any industry which offers good money, a different kind of social and moral outlook, a whole new lifestyle and is rumoured to be the next-big-thing always has its share of detractors yet everyone given an opportunity would like to travel the same highway to success.
