Fairy tales are misleading

Ok, so we’ve all read all the classic fairy tales such as Cinderella, Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty etc. what I am about to do will piss a lot of you off, but today I’m morbid and there is only a gathering of dark clouds above my head with not even a speck […]

Things I should have learnt earlier in my life.

There’s a famous(?) book titled All I Really Needed To Know, I Learnt In Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum. While the book is a compilation of very short and simple (but effective) essays on how to deal with the different situations and how to find the lighter note in every situation, it DOES NOT equip you […]

Things I should have learnt earlier (PART II)

We learn all sorts of things when we’re growing up, how to play fair, how to be patient, how to listen, how to ask for something and not snatch it…but after introspection and encountering traumatic failure, I’ve learnt the following and I feel that it is my moral obligation to enlighten you all as well…

Air France and Discrimination against Indian Passengers

Nowadays, the staff of Air France has been news over discrimination of passengers on the basis of race. Over 50 Indian passengers, who were left stranded on the Paris airport due to a technical snag which took over 28 hours to fix, have alleged racism and complained that they did not receive food or water […]

Common lines people say after getting drunk!

Initially it was sent to me a forwarded joke, but over the last few months, maybe, weeks, I’ve found out that these lines are actually true! I can’t give you the real live examples that I witnessed, for fear of being permanently ostracized and probably beaten up! But it’s my duty to bring the truth […]

Buy a Shopping Bag for USD 2700!

There is a fashion magazine called Harper’s BAZAAR. Needless to say it’s a fashion magazine because for some inexplicable reason a lot of my reading these days is of fashion magazines, I just can’t find a fast-paced book that will hold my attention for a substantial period of time for me to sit through it […]

The Evergreen Meri sari uski sari se safaed kaise? Syndrome!

When living in Delhi there are a few things one must take for granted, one, there is very little time and we’re trying our best to run the world in whatever time we can salvage! Two, the traffic is awful at almost any given time of the day though in perspective it isn’t as bad […]

3 Cheers!

I hail from a very unorthodox family, that is if I make a comparison with my friends families. Let me clarify what I mean by unorthodox. We are a family where all four of us (mother, father, sister and I) can openly discuss about any topic under the sun and laugh over it. I can […]

Everything Branded

Shopping for labels, shopping for love
Manolo and Louis is all I’m thinking of…

I’m sure if I wrote the entire lyrics, you would get the song I’m quoting, but anyway, this is a song by Fergie called “Labels or Love” or something like that! and it’s the song that has been playing on repeat mode in […]

Billu – The Barber without a Title

I was quite amazed to read that SRK had to remove the word “Barber” from his originally titled film “Billu Barber”. Reason? Because the so-called community of barbers termed it as derogatory. SRK understandably obliged to the demands of the barbers across the country because he did want to lose money by delaying the much-hyped […]
