Oxymoronic, but true!

I’m sure you all can associate with this following piece of literature! The recent enlightenment I came across when I was having a really bad week some time back. As usual I had bitten off more than I could chew and that led me into a bit of a very crisis filled week. I had […]

Anything in the name of style?

Ok…so the weather updates of the last few weeks have been really bad. The heat in Delhi and all of India is soaring and it’s almost becoming intolerable to step out during the day. But still shying away from the sun doesn’t help anyone’s cause because we’re all dependent on the outside world and have […]

These are a few of my favorite things

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things”
I had almost forgotten how much I used to love this song as a kid until recently when I actually visited the city of its creation- Salzburg. […]

Women take three times more time than men in a public bathroom??

Ok, so I had gone out drinking with a few friends some time back and I was on the verge of a bursting bladder when I rushed to the loo only to find that there was a waiting line. Now waiting would not have been such a big deal had I 1) not been dying […]

Growing Old

As self-explanatory as the title is, the rest that is follow is going to be my rant about “growing old”! For the record I’m not that old, but I do feel that I am aging by the day (which is a reality but I feel I need to focus it some more!).
Anyway, it all started […]

Howzatt at The Galaxy Hotel

So, here I come with another restaurant review. Sorry, I need to make a correction. It is not a restaurant but a microbrewery. Hotel Galaxy is located behind 32nd milestone in the suburbs. I have been to Galaxy earlier when I went to The Monk, which in my books, is just above average, but there […]

Masjid Wali Gali

Every city has its secrets. I mean places that exist but you have never been there, and you have not visited them because they are not on the usual routes or have malls or markets to attract you. I have always been attracted to such places because of their unusual ambience and they reflect the […]

Creative or Alienated?

All of a sudden a thought has struck my mind. I was reading Sandipan Deb’s article in the Indian Express, and he had remarkably stated that once when attending a workshop, he was asked to pen down his own obituary. Being a creative writer that he is, he wrote a poetic one with very high […]

A String of Sexapades….And Lingering Loneliness

When I was studying and pursuing my Masters degree in the UK, I met a girl who was a British citizen by birth and Muslim by religion and about 10 years older than me. She was a classmate of mine and in spite of our age difference we hit it off pretty well and would […]

Corbett Calling

Corbett can be one of the most exciting weekend getaways for you if you are a Delhiite. With woods around you, chilly breeze, sprawling forests, luxury resorts, and vacation-like atmosphere, Corbett qualifies to be a perfect haven for travelers and non-travelers alike. I made my first trip to Corbett last weekend, after being sick and […]
