No one killed Surpanakha !!!
To all the activists – I am not talking about exploiting any human, female or any other species living or dead on the planet. The subject is more or an exclamation! I have watched Ramayana quite a few times recently – yes I accept that I am quite obsessed with it at the moment. I am really enjoying the portrayal that was filmed by Sagar films in 1980s. For some reason, Ramayan is able to stir quite a few emotions in me that I had not previously known. I learn to be subtle and sober. I learn to calm myself even in the adverse of situations. I learn to take…

Why diets are totally unsuccessful in Delhi
Let me begin by not offending anyone – Delhi is definitely filled with dieticians and other nutritionists who would definitely be lovely and effective. I am just here to tell you my story – how I lead a very average (and dull) life and yet the biggest challenge of my life is following my diet. Let me start with my day – I wake up every morning at 6:00am (unfortunately). I stay lazily in bed for five-seven minutes and once I have sufficient conscience, I go to freshen up. By around 6:50am, I am all fresh and ready. At that moment, my mother would bring me breakfast. This would normally…

Gol gappe for men
Gone are the days when someone (some male) can surely say that women love Gol Gappas. Well ofcourse we do!! But eventually men have also discovered the flavour and goodness. To give a little background – gol gappas are quite popular dish in India. They are found in all states, Union Terretories and Islands (atleast on all I have been to) of India. They are called by a variety of names – Pani Puri, Gol Gappe, Pani ke Batashe, Gup Chup, Puchka, amongst the popular few – depending on the geographical location. The preparation varies slightly as well depending on the preferred taste of the region. Basically, you need to…

I don’t understand abuses
I totally agree that abusing someone gives so much satisfaction. Even better when I am a girl – who is supposed to not even know such words. Don’t judge me if I abuse – this is required to interact with people who understand only that language. You see – communication is two way. However I seriously discourage abusing otherwise. That is the worst you can do. Coming onto the topic – I really don’t understand abuses. What is the matter with fucking? Just take a relative, add fucking and voila – you get an abuse. People grow up!! Take a personal tip from me – don’t use these words. Explain…

Python and the Boa Constrictor
I had a real weird day at work yesterday. I am stuck doing this piece of code that simply refuses to get into my head. I also have this deadline before which I need to complete the code and deliver since I will be on vacation next week. To add to all this, there are other things in Python that I want to try out and simply not getting sufficient time to do so. This time crunch has been running for over a week now. Sorry – I am not complaining.. this is something I can manage. What I cant is – while I am busy with my Muggle things,…

A little drama is required
Being an Indian, I can totally bet that you can just never get enough of drama. You may hate it yet you can’t escape it. I think that we are wired in a way that from time to time, we do need to refill our drama quotient. Of course it takes different amount of time for different persons for the drama quotient to get empty. Someone’s drama quotient may last for one month while someone else’s may last just a week. Don’t get me wrong here. I am not saying that Indians do not appreciate good cinema. On the contrary, drama is probably the least appreciated genre of cinematic content…

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…
