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 [...]

Riddles

TweetThe 10th board results were to be announced in a few minutes. I knew I had given it a good shot, but I could never be too sure. All through school, I had been a 60% kind of a guy. The website as usual conked, and I was trying for the last 2 hours. It [...]

Catches, Condoms and Commitment

Tweet A for apple… B for ball… C for…cat… also Commitment… Catches… Condoms… So the more I have known the human race, the more these words have intrigued me. I know I have a long way to go… but what the heck! I don’t mind sharing what I have learnt so far.  Catches – [...]

Shivraj's Wardrobe

TweetButtface, my flatmate was in the midst of the shootout in Leopold café. Thankfully, nothing happened to him, he just fled from the place. The attack raises a lot of questions and provides no answers. Shivraj resigned today a few hours back and took moral responsibility for the same. Modi announced a package of 0ne [...]

Beauty and the dork

TweetLet’s be honest. I was not the most sought after guy in school. I was the average guy, with large plastic spectacles, and a hairstyle like the good boys we see in movies. Neatly combed with coconut oil, and dripping wet. For a dork like me, that I landed with the hottest chick in school [...]

Rain and a sweater

TweetThe girl’s hostel was a few miles away from our campus. So whenever we had to meet them, we had to drive all the way there, pick them up and head places. One evening, a plan just happened and I was heading for a dinner date. It was a nice quiet dinner we had over [...]

The Movie

Tweet “Yeah sure, I’ll be there in 15 minutes, just leaving home”, I said as I locked the door. It was sunny Sunday afternoon, and I was looking forward to the movie I was going to see with her. There is a lot of history between us; and not just the memorable kinds. But something [...]

Mad Miranda

Tweet Yes! The name is inspired from ‘The Devil wears Prada’. I don’t think much of the book or the movie, but when I saw Miranda on screen, I thought, “There she is!!!” – ‘She’ runs the firm that I work for; also tries to run my life whenever possible. Everyone will have at least [...]

The other way round

TweetTrust me people, my life is not exciting enough to be posted on a blog and I do not want to list why, how, when etc… Anyhow, there are certain things that add adventure to my routine life. Things, that I have not seen many gals do and “conventionally” are not expected to do. No! [...]

Clicked….

Tweet So me and Softie sat in the balcony of my sea facing house. We met after a long time and had a lot to catch up. I guess that is the most obvious thing women do when they meet . After talking about our tiny tots, the last gift given by our hubbies, how [...]

He loves me, he loves me not..

Tweet29 July 2008. I remember it like it was yesterday. What was that? Oh sorry! Wrong date! I meant 9th May 1996 of course. The first time I saw him. You see, it was only the previous evening that we had picked up the glasses my optometrist had prescribed for me. We were classmates, good [...]

The Way It Is

TweetI am always asked this question. Why do you drink and smoke so much? The fact is, I don’t know. I drink by the gallons to stay totally sober and I smoke more than I can count. It’s not a good thing in life, and I don’t even try to justify it. I don’t even [...]

The Open Door

TweetSometimes I think its pushing things too far. Heard about this thing called the open door? Its one thing I really like here in HP. There are no doors, none except other than the main entrance door where we flash our dog collars. What else do you call them? Life’s an open book here; you [...]

Fish, Chips and Coffee

TweetVanilla and chocolate sauce is the most favorite combination amongst masses. They taste the best when one is frozen and other is hot. They complement each other just right. One is the perfect flavor of simplicity and the other, is devoured, passion, and the perfect sin!! Opposites and ironies are the food for thought. They [...]

Untitled.

Tweet Life plays as a mystery I thought I knew it all The ride was going to be smooth It fooled me again, that’s all Memories of a distant place, Tender love in my heart I dream of tomorrow, But I am scared of another fall Beginning of a new day, Made stronger by the [...]

Life of a Salesman

TweetWhen I say, SALESMAN; what comes to your mind first? These are what you would imagine him as. Right?   A pesky door to door salesman (selling soap?) A smart boy in a tie and suit (again at your door, the Eureka Forbes kinds?) The boys outside banks, trying to sell credit cards Tele marketers (“I [...]

Angel Strikes Back!

TweetThis might seem an act of revenge coming from a 23 year old that has some authority on this subject matter and hence I will go ahead with it. These are personal observations along with some universal facts. Please do not think I am feminist, I am just trying to kick a&* of an MCP! [...]

The Kid in Us

TweetI haven’t shaved for a month now and have a thick beard. It’s not the sexiest of sights; I don’t want to shave it either. It keeps reminding me of what I have grown up into. Notice the choice of words. I was browsing through some of the old family snaps, and I can’t believe, [...]

Into the Wild

Tweet Some movies change you. Into the Wild, is one of them. It’s not yet changed me, but it’s got me thinking a lot. The movie is about Chris McCandless who grew up in Annandale, Virginia, and died at age 24 in a wilderness area of the state of Alaska. After graduating in 1990 from [...]

Courage Under Fire

TweetBefore I begin writing anything, I would like to put a small disclaimer here. Please don’t expect a direction, a moral, a conclusion or a happy ending in this article. I wrote many paragraphs individually and put them together under one heading – something that just sounded cool and with nothing more to it. I [...]

The Dead Ones’ Perspective

TweetThere are so many things we watch, do and talk about every day. Be it shopping, eating, driving or just lying down. We feel free and are well equipped to put a point across. But have we ever thought of the objects we use or see everyday? I mean I am sure if they could [...]

Growing up and moving on

Tweet The college days have been good, and not matter what we thought while we were at it, they were the simplest days of our lives. No really. When I think about the assignments we got, the tests we wrote, all of it – very simple. Don’t know why we cribbed so much about them. [...]

Featured: The Rice Bowl

Tweet   I was astonished to see how she scrapped the last few morsels of rice from the bowl. I wondered why she was so particular about cleaning the bowl in that way. I looked down at the heap of rice that had been scrapped from different bowls in the same manner. Some of us [...]

The Other Side

TweetWe have been called a lot of names of late. There is an old school of thought we are so full off; the other person is always WRONG! Its hard at times to even see from the other perspective. Shit happens at times but one has to really look into what could have been the [...]

First Salary Wishlist

TweetNo, Its not come as yet. But there are a few things i am already planning on spending my first salary. Well, I am not earning that much, but whats the harm in dreaming about it? Lazy Boy   I found out the price as well. Its 28,000 in India. I learn they also have [...]

A few roses…with love

Tweet When was it ever mentioned that Valentine’s Day leads to immorality? Why are the fanatics so hell bent on destroying on the one day that means no harm, but actually spreads some love around? I have over the years read news reports on how; couples were besmeared with cow dung, beaten up and in [...]

Tiger, tiger, Burning Bright…

Tweet I’ll always remember reading books of jungle lore by Kenneth Anderson as a kid. The vivid portrayals of the jungles of south India were a treat to read. While most of this stories and musings were about hunting tigers (mostly man eaters), there were many that dealt with panthers, rogue elephants and even bears. [...]

One is not enough: Counter View

Tweet  Vivek, a kannadiga by heart and on of my best pals. We’ve been hostel mates for four years and at the end of the term was voted Ms. Universe for his contribution to ‘womankind’. A sweet guy, with views of his own and powerful ones at that. This kiddo packs a punch! This is [...]

Funny Love

Tweet Say Hello to ‘Lovestruck’! One of my best pals and someone whom I have known for the past 8 years. Yes, we lost touch for some 5 years in between. And we have had our rough times, but more memorable times. A wonderful friend and beautiful woman, she is someone I would really cherish [...]

Unethical business (non)sense!

TweetDr. Amit Kumar/Dr. Horror. The name runs a chill down your spine. I recently saw the movie Turistas and how a doctor not only dissected the body alive but took all body parts that could be of any use including the skin for transplants. Gross, you will say. But we can’t discount the fact that [...]
