Musings

Of First Loves and Impressions

TweetBefore I begin saying anything, I’d like to put a small note. This post is inspired by one written by Noor Patni in the latest xBHP magazine – The Loyalty Test. Let’s start with our spouses. We know they have their imperfections much like any human being. We men are probably more imperfect and God decided to [...]

Coming back

Drifting Apart, Part II

This post is a continuation of the earlier : Drifting apart. But these are comments from two very good bloggers – Punit Dubey who is a biker buddy of mine, and Ashutosh, who I decided to award the All Time Best Commentator award for vinolxi!

Drifting Apart

Am sure all of us at some point came across some people we instantly connected or gelled with over a period of time! Situations arise when you end up talking a lot and even endure certain instances that are etched in your memory forever. It works for me that way, at least. I’m not sure about others, hence I thought I would ask that question to everyone of my readers.

What every man thinks about apart from sex

Inspired by the international best seller: What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex by Professor Sheridan Simove after more than 39 years of painstaking research. For his shocking conclusions, I realised that I had to share his findings. If you want to order the entire report: http://goo.gl/T4qND

Fair, Handsome and Gay

Are we slaves to what society, peers and advertisers expect from us? The way I look at it, the choice is all ours and much to do with just good grooming.

Notes of a Wannabe ‘Professor’

After the conclusion of the social media workshop, I talk about some key learnings and how some experiments succeeded while some didn’t. Like I said in class abuses and brickbats were allowed and encouraged.

The Tipping Points

Why should new years be about resolutions? Let’s just hope for the best this year, shall we?

The Suitcase in the Attic

TweetThe suitcase in the attic My uncle called the other day frantically, to tell me about the suitcase I had forgotten at his place in all the hurry I had left for Hyderabad last year. There are a lot of clothes, one blanket, a muffler and even a camera. For a minute I was more [...]

Clenching the Fists of Dissent

TweetThis post should have come a bit early, with the writer’s block I am going through and the fact that I had still get my thoughts in place to write this one; please do excuse me. I was in Bangalore the previous week for the Social Causes Blogger Meet proposed by Roshni, whose objective was [...]

None? At all?

Tweet I owe this to y’all because of the previous post I wrote on M&B. In my un-ending quest to master the art of writing a romantic story (irony!) and also because my brain was functioning only at that level, I read this book called ‘What I did for Love’ (sounds cheesy, doesn’t it? I [...]

India, Balochistan and beyond

TweetFifteen years down, who will today say that I what I did then was wrong? This nation stands tall, proud, fast-growing. – Manmohan Singh during the debate on the Indo-US nuclear deal. Back in 2004 when BJP lost power and Congress came sweeping the elections, I was too one of the staunch BJP supporters who [...]

Angel on Shopping

Tweet No.. this is not another Confession of a Shopaholic kind of read. To begin with, I do not consider my self a shopaholic. Uhh. Err wait.. Does shopping every weekend make me a shopaholic? .. Sigh!!! Gone are the days when I used to shop every weekend!! Before u think I am a rich [...]

Growing up with Kevin Arnold

Tweet Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have [...]

The next step

Tweet Change is good. But what is important is what brings about the change, and why you want to change. We change for loved ones, or we could change for ourselves. When a company changes its logo, they do it for themselves; when they change the way they offer their services – they do it [...]

Journey so far…

Tweet I couldn’t sleep that night; and was tossing and turning in my bed. I tried keeping two pillows under my head. Nothing seemed to work. I slept finally at around 1AM and woke up at 4. I picked up the book – “weekend getaways from Hyderabad” out of sheer boredom. I hit upon Nagarjuna [...]

A page from the diary of a sales guy

TweetThe picture you see below is the first search result for ‘sales guy’ on google image search. Do try it. Mondays are painful. The weekend tends to get over way too soon and Sunday nights are not relaxed. I start getting depressed about the new week ahead. I woke up today at 845. The alarm [...]

Indian Curry

Tweet While we all see the media hysteria on the racist attacks in Australia, one can’t help but wonder what could have led to this sudden outburst of hate against us. There are over 90000 Indian students in various programmes in Australia. I have quite a few friends there too.  With US and Europe turning [...]

Decide Already

TweetVinni asked me to write for his blog…for those of you that don’t know what kind of writing I do, I mostly write poems and about a few other things that cross my mind. But mostly it’s poems.  The first problem with this assignment was that I don’t write regularly….i.e. sometimes I write a lot [...]

The Story Teller

TweetWe used to go to Villivakkam once in two years. That was grandpa’s home. After retiring from the postal service, he had decided to settle for good on the outskirts of Madras. The house was quaint to say the least. There was a big veranda with Malipu (Jasmine) flowers, a small well behind the house, [...]

Love … for Life

TweetAngel has written a piece like this one after a very long time. This one is a dedication to the fantasy of most of the women (I am not the woman, I am Vinni). To be pampered, loved, surprised and be treated like a princess. The man here has no name and no face. Though [...]
