| 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...

| 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...

| 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...

| 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’...

| 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...

That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand...
