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, [...]

I like People Watching…

Yeah, I really do.
Why is it that when you spot desi log in a huge gathering in this country, with most dressed traditionally(especially, the women!), they look all the more beautiful? Is it because it is your first such event in almost a year? Is it because the event was high profile? Is it because [...]

Galeej Boys and the Art of Getting High

Champagne Supernova by Oasis goes:

Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a canon ball,
Where were you while we were getting high?

Or the more appropriate Tubthumping goes:

He drinks a whisky drink, he drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink, He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times,
He sings [...]

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 [...]

B-E-A-utiful

Ana Ivanovic

She is lovely, isn’t she? She is just totally amazing. She plays too well, and she looks so hot. Actually, she is not hot. She is beautiful. There is this thin line in between, you see. She has that, what you call in Tamil, “lakshanam” or whatever. If you tell a Tam Brahm who [...]

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 [...]

Indians Still Inhabit the Mountains

Well, yes. The long weekend turned out to be memorable. The second road trip in America, not a very long drive like the previous one, more people, well organized and that translated to some nice time.

The highlight was white water rafting. Some real good fun it was.

I never knew Gatlinburg was a prominent destination. The [...]

Grr_Max

This is it. I’ve confirmed it a million times now. One of the most annoying things in day to day life is, when you are with two other persons and they keep talking in a language common only to them, while you are standing right there wondering if you are wearing an invisibility cloak of [...]

Escape to Poonamalee

‘So what do we do?’, asked V. It was around 1 pm in the afternoon and the heat had become unbearable. No one remained in college except for the four of us. At least no one in sight.
‘Let’s try the main gate, once again, shall we?’, I proposed. G shrugged, but A and V already [...]
