Why women marry
It’s always a wonder to me as to why women marry. Don’t get me wrong, but mostly I find that women marry the wrong sort of guy for the right reasons (eg, Karisma Kapoor), or marry the right sort of guy for all the wrong reasons (eg, Karisma Kapoor again). The more beautiful/successful they are, the more vulnerable they seem to be on this front. It’... more...

Pressing issues
Life, one realizes, is all about the little creature comforts. Everyone’s life is full of them, but I reckon there’s always room for adding some more. So these last few days have been busy organizing some of them. Precisely, managed to get a reflexologist to come by once a week for some orgasmic foot massage. Now I know that the feet are extra-sens... more...

Slurp!
OK, so it feels good to be back in one’s own environs, especially loo. Whatever you say about the Land of the Free, you will always remain a brown skin there. I rather be top dog in my land than anything else anywhere else, what say? But let’s leave such heavy stuff for the commentators and get down to what comes naturally to one. Which is to be fl... more...

New York, New York
So people, I am outta here for some weeks, going from shivering in Mumbai to shivering big time in the Big Apple. It should be quite fun, what with the Super Tuesdays happening next week and the country slowly getting into the throes of presidential elections. Not that I know much about it, nor am I going to be involved in the process in any way, b... more...

Wednesday is Novena time
For the locals it means traffic jams and congested sidewalks, but the faithful don’t get deterred by anything as they wend their way to the Mahim church.

The power of K
Among the things I did this weekend was to catch up on Jab We Met, a film that I had missed seeing since I am neither a Shahid Kapur nor Kareena Kapoor (not certainly!) fan. But since everyone I know seems to say good things about the movie, and since the songs were burning up the FM airwaves morning and evening, and also since I got the DVD free, ... more...

Some funnies to keep the smiles on
A three-year-old boy was examining his pee pee while taking a   bath. "Mama," he asked, "are these my brains?"   Mama smiled and answered, "Not yet."  *****A woman confided to her girlfriend, "My ex-husband wants to   marry me again."   The friend said, "How flattering."   The woman replied, "Not really.

10 rules for life
A group email was going around on 50 facts of life or somesuch, and with each recipient adding his/her own, by the time it came to me I realised that one, I had to add my own rules to it and two, all the previous recipients had more or less covered all the bases. That meant I had to do some hard thinking on beliefs I hold true.  So here they are, 1... more...

A storm called Vikram
I am such a late entrant to watching Tamil films it is not funny. And here I am, less than a year later, swearing by them, rating them streets ahead of Mumbai’s Hindi film industry. So when I read ignorant reporters refer to Bollywood as representative of Indian films, I feel motivated to call them and give them a piece of my mind. Sure, once in a ... more...

Excerpt from 'The Notebook'
The reason it hurts so much to seperate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand...  more...
