Nietzsche said, “Love is more afraid of change than destruction”. The love for a city, a place, a pigeon hole is so terrified of change. And the logistics is only least of the problems. It takes quite some time to fall in love with the place you’ve moved in. And once you are firmly settled [...]

The Plan
Let’s make an agreement, shall we?
A) We’ll get an early start tomorrow morning and try to enjoy each others’ company here in this beautiful place.
B) We’ll stop feeling sorry for ourselves. It’s not very attractive.
C) We’ll make our plans for the future.
Can we agree to that?
Yes we can.
P.S
This is NOT original. I wrote this, first, [...]

The Transition
It’s overwhelming. The fact that you are parting ways with almost everyone that you spent last 18 months with, could put you off track. It is different in the sense that, the people going away are not only the ones you went to college with or went to movies and dinners [...]

Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum….
One of my friends asked this n00b(new admit, this fall in my university) why is he not doing a thesis and has settled for a non-thesis. The guy beats around the bush only to finally admit that it is all because he got into a relationship(after arriving here), has to think about the girl’s family, [...]

Come a Full Circle

The Art of Wear
I love clothes. I give this undue importance for an individual’s dress sense which some may consider to be unnecessary. The idea of being up to date on fashion, wear good clothes and look good all the time didn’t come out of choice but was a habit nurtured and cultivated.
Mom grew up with a lot [...]

Matlabi Duniya!
I love that song from Johnny Gaddar. It goes something like this:
heyy johnny, zindagi juwa hai khel yaar
heyy johnny gaddar, aaj nakad phir kal udhaar
heyy johnny, matlab hi hai asli yaar
There were three instances I came across recently. Two of them being my own experiences and one of them regarding an on going murder case.
Both [...]

A School to Cherish
Sometime during my engineering, I came across this small kid somewhere, who asked me, ” Do you know what PSBBSSS stands for?” And before I could answer, he blurted out, ” Pattani Sundal Bonda Bhajji Suda Suda Sambar.” I was tempted to ask,” Dei, ennake va”? (Look, who you are talking to!)
Though I was only [...]

In honor of Memorial day and all the “hard” work, we’ve been putting in, my workplace let me go at 2.30 today to kick start the long weekend and make it extra long! So we are off to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, for some trekking in the Smoky Mountains, white water rafting and the experience of living [...]
