It’s a year unlike any in the past. The normal rules don’t apply anymore. While usual life has resumed in many parts of the world, it’s still not the normal life that we are used to for years together. While the future looks hopeful in terms of evading the virus, the recent past has worked wonders on our human mind states! When life came to a sudden halt in 2020, we got unexpectedly large amounts of time to think about stuff we never thought about. Be it lifestyle changes, health improvements, awareness about mental health, technological disruptions, innovative business ideas, breakthroughs i ..read more

You guys! What’s the one thing that connects us all? Social media? Cliché Fake love for fitness? Oops no, I hurt a few clearly! Love for fitness? Nopee! Love for being ourselves? Ah, an absolute no! Having an opinion about everything? Maybe! But what’s the beast of all? If you ask me, it has to be our undying love for Awkwardness. Isn’t it very ironic that the very set of people who call themselves the millennials, the alpha of any pack, the uber cool and ultra confident clan, are also the most awkward people to have around?! So there are a few typical traits which all of us possess; I mean ..read more

Sunday morning – Wake up, make a steaming cup of chai, head to the living room, unbundle the newspaper set, grab a copy of HT Brunch*, swipe through the pages hurriedly and land on the last page (Personal Agenda Section) – that is where the interviews of famous/not so famous celebrities used to be printed, scour through the interview to find the last question on the page – “The last line of your autobiography would read…?” (*For those who don’t know what HT Brunch is, it’s a lifestyle magazine by Indian newspaper Hindustan Times, released every Sunday!) 10 years – on loop – I have read almost ..read more

We are in the middle of a historic event. It’s overwhelming. VERY. Whatever is happening around has NEVER-FREAKING-EVER happened before. And if you are an aged-reader, you might say, “We have seen curfews and blackouts during wars; this ain’t new”. Well yes, but the fact remains that such events happen in an individual’s life only countable number of times – numbers starting from ZERO, one, two and maximum THREE. And the beauty is that this fact remains true for any person, anywhere on earth! I had written this first paragraph way back when the lockdown was first announced. But surprisingly ..read more

How much can we control? How much do we really control? How much do we really need to control? Me: It feels that we are in charge and we are the directors of our lives. But the next instant, we call our lives sinusoids – the ups and downs determine our mood. We feel we are achievers of our highs and receivers of the lows, conveniently switching roles between captors and captives.  Jim: It’s so human to feel that. Me: But why do we really get lost in the maze of our life?  Jim: That’s because there are so many caps that we don on our head – director, actor, runner, escaper, hero, s ..read more

**Before you read, let me break a fun fact to you: 21st of April, every year, is celebrated as “World Creativity & Innovation Day”.** Creativity : the ability to create; the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness It is & always has been a buzz word. All of us have been gifted with the same galaxy of neutrons, interconnected with each other, forming one of the most complex structures man has ever seen – thebrain. Then, why is it that only a few people are called “creative” ? Even though we have the same anatomy, our behaviour – logical as well as latera ..read more

If you have visited this website, you could possibly not have missed seeing him.  Who ‘him’? This gentleman in blazer. Agreed, he’s over-dressed but that’s just out of sheer excitement and enthusiasm as he was informed about his official introduction to the world. I would do the same, so no complaints! His grit and integrity must really be appreciated though. The selection process was definitely not easy. After a number of auditions, acting takes, expressions checks, dress rehearsals and on-screen tests, he finally bagged the role! It indeed was a tough 2-month period for him, but as ..read more

P.S. Smoking is injurious to health. After a hiatus, we are back. We were in the “wont-move-until-ass-is-on-fire” world. But nevertheless, let’s get started. (Wondering what “wont-move-until-ass-is-on-fire” world is, here’s the link to understand the world of us, procrastinators –  Won’t move until ass is on fire.) Well, it’s that time of the year again. Everyone, everywhere is being bombarded with videos of best 2018 memories, positive messages, motivational speeches, resolutions & such inspirations, etc. And all we are doing is: Go to our gallery, ‘Select All’ —> Delete (maybe no ..read more

26.11.2008 Etched on my heart, for all the wrong reasons. I still remember that gruesome night. I was a kid, 15-year old, with an elementary understanding of the surroundings and the world. Never in my life before, had I seen or heard of such a horrendous incident. For me, the world was a rosy place, with robbery being the most atrocious crime. The city was a playground, with at the most “no-chocolate-from-a-stranger” rule attached to it. I had heard of terrorism, but what it actually meant I didn’t know, until the night of 26th of November, 2008. Blood splatter at the heart of Mumbai – Ch ..read more
