Talking of City Profiles…
The title refers to buddy’s beautiful prose on city profiles. A city as lovable as Bombay.
This is not a city that I’ve loved right from the word go. It’s not the city I grew up in. The more appropriate statement would be that the city grew upon me. Like buddy articulates, the je ne sais [...]

Shifting the Stick
They just zoom past you on all fours. As in, from all the four sides. The green scooter guy dares to butt in just in front of your side mirror. He has three people squatting tight behind him. An elderly woman holding a kid and a five year old sandwiched in between. You just apply [...]

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!)

Over reactive Computer Engineering students:
Girl: Heyyy, what are YOU doing in EB (Engineering Building)?

– Port City Java, EB II, Centennial Campus.

Flashback to a few Januarys!
If you ask any college student in Madras what is synonymous with fun during the dying days of January, you’ll get only one answer. Quite undoubtedly, Saarang, the annual cultural fest of IIT- Madras.
Vice wrote about it. Gapp wrote about it. Some of my friends were talking about the pro-shows this year. All these reminded [...]

Chennai 03:11 PM
An unexpected mail from Suraksha, apologizing for spamming my account, informed me of this upcoming event. Some nice people in Chennai have decided to coordinate a mass photography event to capture one second of life in the city. A sort of a time capsule, in Suraksha’s own words.
So this November the 3rd at exactly [...]

Aazadi.Dil Ki.
No. This is not about that old Pepsi ad featuring Azharuddin and SRK.
This is my version of what Abhi Gopal recently posted.I thought it was nice.
Who wouldn’t like to….
…get drenched in the first showers of monsoon without a single thing to worry about in the world
…have Vada Pav near Bhavans or Pav Bhaji with extra [...]
