Weekend laughs
It suddenly dawned on me today that I have not been doing something that's an intrinsic part of my nature -- share the jokes I know. I just love jokes, and can be counted upon to rattle them off in sleep. So here goes my latest instalment of jokes, unfortunately none that I can lay intellectual ownershp of...*****"Guess what I heard today?" a man s... more...

Sunrise boulevard
 For many years have I witnessed the glorious sight of sunrise in Chennai. Yet, I realised with a start this time, that it has been many years since I kept my date with the rising run. Evenings I invariably made it to the beach when I am in town, but I realised I hadn’t been that regular. Which was a tragedy, since there’s few things as exhilaratin... more...

Love and longing in Chennai
The city of my birth always fills me with a sense of nostalgia, wistfulness, longing. This time, too, was no different. A quick visit of a few days, is not enough to take in all the pleasures and joys of a city that the rest of the country still prefers to underrate, but to me life in the southern sector is a very different kind of life. Chennai is... more...

What’s ‘Indian’ about IIFA!
Oh yes, Star Plus had to yank off SRK’s Paanchvi Paas to run the terribly boring IIFA awards. And like a sucker I had to sit up and watch it. Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh tried to outdo SRK and Saif Ali Khan, and I wished they didn’t. But I must admit their takeoff on Om Can’t be Om, Jab They Left, etc was hilarious. And, since it called itself... more...

The rat race
With today’s SSC results in Maharashtra, all the exam results are in, seems like, and the admission process will now begin in real earnest. I overhear these kids in various places talking about their marks and future, and wonder, why do parents drive them so? Can’t they be allowed to have a normal childhood? Study, by all means study, but don’t rui... more...

PVR scores
I have no hesitation in saying that of the malls I have visited in Mumbai, InOrbit easily scores over the rest. And part of its mystique is owing to the excellent food court, and of course Fame theatres. I have often wondered if anyone can better the combo, though I am told Atria mall in Worli does a neat job of it. But I have not so far been there... more...

Dus ka.. ummmm
OK, sorry folks for the long silence on my part, but I was away in Chennai for some time and just got back in time for the monsoon mania in amchi Mumbai. The weekend I landed was the first since the IPL mania, and it was also the first time that the reigning superstars of Bollywood were going head to head, on TV albeit. Regulars here know I am an S... more...

Never trust a cricketer!
Come all ye fair young maidens and harken unto me,Never trust a cricketer, whoever he may be.Randier than a sailor, who's been six months at sea.Never let a cricketer's hand an inch above your knee.First let's take the Paceman, pure speed from first to last.My darlings do be careful, his balls are hard and fast.Then there's the Medium Pacer, his ba... more...

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...

Memory is often used to recollect bad experiences, feelings rather than using it to recall / remember good expereinces or feelings; In most cases, left to itself, our mind tries to recollect bad experiences/feelings and never, as a rule, recollects experiences that had positive effect on us.
