Guys and their hair
I love my hair. For the love of God and Satan combined, I do. I don’t care if I don’t wash my face one day but I care deeply if something happens to even one strand on my head. I like them long and strong. Of course it means that I try a lot of oils and shampoos. Sometimes, actually most times, it doesn’t help. But then again often I wonder what would I do with my long hair? As in currently I do have sufficiently long hair but every time I wash them, I don’t have any option but to keep them open or to tie a braid. Those…

Simply curious
I am not promoting or endorsing anything but I use this Wynk app to listen to music. Its got a fairly huge list of songs and I am more or less able to find all songs I want to listen to! It gets a little annoying with respect to the ads – ofcourse I can always pay to get rid of them! Off late they have come up with this ad of theirs which displays when you open the app or while the ad is playing.. and its pretty amusing! Now I am wondering if they already have lakha of people who have upgraded to their premium annual membership –…

I did the unimaginable !!!!!
Life is all about extending your comfort zone.. going out there in the unknown and mastering it. It is very simple to do something you know but it is extremely difficult to make something you don’t know, simple. Well naturally, blogging is something that comes naturally to me. It gives me immense pleasure to pen down (type) my thoughts and let them generate a flow of imagination. Yet, sometimes.. just one of those times.. I like to venture into the unknown and do what I don’t usually do. This time, I did something really unimaginable!! The story begins that due to some really amazing mobile network providers (sarcasm .. since…

Writes of what to write and what not to write
Recently reading a lot of emails (because that is what I do), I realized that there is no correct or incorrect way to perform written communication. If you are a student, all the letters that you have written and the formats that you have learnt, apparently you shall forget them as soon as you start working i.e. be of age of actually writing those letters. Also, there is nothing like US or UK format. There is simply no format. When I spent a couple of minutes browsing through different emails, there was something more that I realized. The closing or every mail changed a lot. It is similar to how…

The precious Elbow
Once or twice now, I have asked people to wear helmets. When they were only travelling the nearby areas, they felt helmet was unnecessary and it is only required when travelling long distances. Further if you insist that helmets should be worn even for the smallest of distances being travelled on road, they would reply that they drive carefully. Well, to all those people and everyone who thinks similarly – 1. Helmets are for the protection of yourself – specifically your skull. The traffic police personnel who fined you for not wearing one or I, who keeps bothering you with such trivial information, have nothing to gain from you wearing…

A wedding to attend
Some twenty years ago I lived in a small town called ‘Mandi’. It is a quiet and lesser knows towns in the picturesque state of Himachal Pradesh. The city is near to the very famous Kullu – Manali stations and IIT has opened in the district. Other than the above two, there is simply nothing out of the ordinary. I was here a great while back. The memories I have of this place are all of daily life – visit to the temple, visit to the market, celebrating festivals in the colony, pretending to be detectives in school, eating, celebrating local festivities, and the other memories that my parents have…

Finding God
No, this is not an article about God. No, this is not a spoof on God. And yes, the title was meant to be read like ‘Finding Nemo’ or ‘Finding Dory’. Recently through a new game that I have adopted, I involved myself into quite a survey on the NH8 highway connecting Delhi and Gurgaon. The game involved finding any reference to Lord Krishna (image or text) during the one hour journey that i took everyday on the same route from my home to office. Well, I started onto this game with just fun and some faith. I only thought that in a country like ours where God is more…

Seat in a Metro : Ladies Special
If you have ever travelled by the Delhi Metro or have a basic idea about it, you would know how the Seats are divided, still let me give a brief intro – basically – The first compartment is reserved for ladies only (except in the violet line – as far as I am aware). Any male passenger is requested not to travel by this. 4 seats per compartment are marked for ladies. 12 seats per compartment (except in the first and the last compartment where only 8 seats) are marked for the old or the physically challenged passengers. Now whenever a new girl enters the metro compartment, she will…

Amarendra Bahubali : The prince raised by a Queen
CAUTION : This contains references to Baahubali : The Beginning and Baahubali : The Conclusion. The post has been written with the thought that the readers are familiar (if not proficient) with the main characters and story line of the movie(s). We all must have come across the famous quotation on facebook – ” A man who treats his girl as a ‘Princess’ is a proof of having brought up by a ‘Queen‘ “. If I were to describe Amarendra Baahubali in one word, he is this man who is being referred to in the quotation. This sentence has been just a beautiful quotation that has set a standard…

The I-Love-You Conundrum
I LOVE YOU! Often considered to be the three most beautiful words to be ever heard, they are actually misunderstood. Simply putting it, loving someone doesnt mean that you get married to the person, have kids and spend rest of your life with them. I love chocolates but all the fore said things are not possible with chocolates. Now, you would argue that a chocolate is not a living entity. So, I love dogs, especially puppies. Who can not love those tiny bundles of soft fur, button eyes gleaming with innocence and cute faces. Again, you can argue that I am a human. So, let us get more specific. I…
