I went to the dentist. For perhaps the third time in my life. This time, the problem is bad, he said. Cavities.Now, I have heard a lot about people who are shit scared of the dentist. Heck, Nat Geo even had a film on them. Prefer death to dentist, they said. Quite silly, I thought. But then, there are people who are scared of sparrows. All kinds.After my previous visit, which was largely

Here are some snaps I clicked on my way to Pune. It was raining in the hills and the sun came out just in time to make some nice photographs. Do consider that my humble phone-cam is fairly low-res. None of these pics have been air-brushed.(Click to enlarge. Trust me, it's worth the effort)

As the train pulled out of Mahim station on a crowded Friday evening, a dark, lanky bloke jumped into the First Class compartment. His last-minute entry wasn’t welcomed by the already-harried sardines. A gentleman, who had wiggled out of a foul-mouthed altercation a minute back, blocked the young man’s access. As yet another argument erupted, someone who didn’t appreciate the young man’s

I so liked the previous post, I thought I should follow it up with an update.This is what it looked like at 10:00 am on Monday, Aug 7 '06. You might wanna compare the two... the situation isn't too optimistic for those who are fed-up of the rain.(click to enlarge)

Maybe it's got something to do with me being a male. Men are usually not blessed with the instinct to ward off stalkers. Women, we can safely assume, are pre-programmed to deal with the nagging, persistent variety.This handicap was almost exploited by this girl called Simran (sounds filmy, but heck... that's her name). When she called the first time, I didn't think it would be too much trouble. I

For a few reasons, which I'd rather not reveal, I'm reviving this blog.Let me try and define the nature of this blog (by quoting Jerry Maguire) "...I believe I have something to say. Or rather, I have something to say that I believe in." So here goes...When you're studying in a professional institute, you will be at all times, coached into acting professionally.

I produce yet another excerpt from Jerry Maguire's Mission Statement. "...That happens when we don't listen to the loud sound of the quiet voice inside. Life, I believe, is not a country club where we forget the difficulties and anxieties. Life is the duty of confronting all of that within ourselves. I am the most successful male in my family, but I am hardly the happiest. My brother works for

( As always, Click 2 Enlarge )Now I have a problem with that chart. If I go by it, me as a Gemini would never have a "very erotic" relationship like a Taurean can. Or for that matter, I would never have a "Wonderfully Romantic" relationship like an Arian chap.

Trying to get rid of your girl ? Here are some tips.....1. If u happen to meet her after 2 or 3 months, throw your hands in the air and shout "Heey, you don't look as fat as you did earlier. "2. Just as you break the kiss, rush to the loo and throw up.3. Ask her if her sis is as hot as her.4. Ask her if she plans to wax sometime in the future5. Pick your nose...6. Offer to pick her nose7.

I remember a report carried by Star News a few months back. They had sent a team across the cow-belt, asking the MPs and the MLAs to sing the national anthem for the camera.Initial amusment quickly turned into embarassment as one after the other, our "leaders" screwed the anthem. Most jumbled the lines, many others gave up the effort half way through, citing amnesia. One "leader" repeatedly

The (w)hole city is up in arms against the BMC over the state of the roads. But pot-holes are a source of great adventure, as I just experienced. The tension that builds up as u pray that your rickshaw doesn’t topple over, is incomparable. I can bet my life that even an army of finely trained workers cannot dig such fine trenches all over the city in such record time. As I marvel at the sight of

I wonder how it is, being a celebrity. If you keep the glamorous aside, it could be quite annoying. Especially in a country like India, where we treat our celebrities like Gods. Privacy is the first casualty of fame. Movie outings are carefully planned; not by you but by your security team. A stroll on the beach is out of question, unless we are talking of your very own, private beach at Alibaug

Competition does funny things. In case of news channels, it is making them look funny.For news channels, the key consideration isn't just eyeballs ( the number of ppl who tune in ) or 'sticky eyeballs' ( the number of ppl who tune in AGAIN, the repeating viewers ). The new mantra seems to be 'popping eyeballs' - the number of viewers you can grab by way of 'shocking news'. It's a different story

These are good times for Sports Journalists... this is their chance to make a name... one big scoop, one big byte, one big quote and they can get their share of the limelight. And to think, it doesnt seem to be tht difficult, getting a quote. Coz almost anyone who has had anythng to do with Indian cricket is putting his worthy words in.Not that i have a problem with that. If anything, i am happy

Sourav Ganguly is no stranger to controversy. And to be fair to the media-mandarins, he has deserved every bit of it ; be it his lack of form over the past years or his lack of gut before the Nagpur tie against the Aussies.And now the Dada of Indian Cricket is at it again. This time, he has not only put his foot in the mouth, but actually shoved it half-way down the throat. As just another fan of

Herez a list of some painfully common English language blunders most of us make.1. Anyone v/s any one.'Anyone' means 'any person'... 'any one' when used, refers to any ONE person.e.g. Anyone can enter the room. Any one person can enter the room at a time.2. Broke v/s BrokenWhen you break something, it’s broken, not “broke,” though a person or organization which has run out of money can be

I don't particularly enjoy shopping trips - u kno the "jeans n tees" kinda shopping. I like my purchases planned in advance so i don't spend a lifetime in the store.

She has a healthy bunch of frenz who manage to keep the mood up. Then there is the steady stream of visitors, many of who are seeing her for the first time. She is polite and cordial as she receives the gifts and good wishes offered by her well-meaning

Usha.... read both ur comments.... our friend is in good hands and recovering. I don't think she needs blood, but a few prayers wud do ... : )I will keep u guys updated on the scene. She seems to be recovering, that's all i can say at the moment. I am a bit reluctant to comment on her condition or state of mind coz i am no doc, and its better we leave it them.Again, a detailed update will follow

It's been a while ( 4 days, to be precise) since i last blogged in.Have been a trifle busy with a bit of running around. I will write in about the unfortunate incident soon enuff....Meanwhile, in case you wanted to know, our friend in the hospital is doing much better. Looks like she'll be there for the next few days. Her condition is stable ( i feel like punching those newsprint-idiots who sed

Last post for the nite, or the first post of the day - whichever way you look at it.Just a thot - Way back in the 60s and 70s, people smoked to 'stand out'... Today, these kids smoke just to 'fit in'.How times change.

Seems like our house is a hotspot for pests these days. First it was the ants, now it's a cute mouse.One of 'em bit Father on the finger one nite...Mother had enuff ; employed Mortein-the rat killer. "Kills (rats) in One Feed", promised the pack. Funny-smelling slices of the rat-poison were placed at strategic locations. Dead meat. I thot.Next morning, i wake up hoping to smell a dead rat. None

Joke of the Day :Our favourtie muse, Shree Laloo Prasad Yadav dies.... and quite predictably, goes to hell.Once there, Laloo expresses his desire to call home, in Bihar.Yamraj generously lends his phone.A long conversation later, Laloo hangs up and asks him how much should he pay."Nothing" replies the God of Death. "Hell to Hell is free."

Animals never cease to fascinate me. And this time it is the humble Ant.Since the past few weeks, my house is reeling under an invasion from these red creatures. They are everywhere. They even started feasting on fresh chappatis stored carefully in the plastic (?) casserole.Mom had enuff of it. She mounted the casserole carefully above three other vessels. This apparatus was placd in a wide dish

Vivek was telling me about stuff on our school's egroup. ( i refuse to join tht egroup ) Neway, he was a trifle annoyed with a particular batch-mate who insists on informing the group about his daily activites... So our batchmate informs the grp that he is planning to leave for a particular place. Then he msgs to say that will be leaving soon and then a msg to say that he has reached.... "Like

I have been itching to share this.....George W. Bush, has been using God indiscriminately in his justifications for the war against Iraq and Afghanistan. In his State of the Union address in July 2003 remarked... "With the might of God on our side we will triumph over Iraq. God will watch over our troops and grant us a victory over the threat of Saddam's army. God will bless us and keep us safe

Ok. So Mahesh Bhatt & Co. are going to sue the Govt. of Maharashtra for their inaction during the monsoon crisis. Interesting.That's the Spirit of Mumbai. Disaster, Tragedy, Whatever.. Just make the best out of it. Try and leverage that to get your pound of flesh, your share of newsprint, your share of airtime.Hmm... so what exactly is wrong with a bunch of "civic-minded" citizens doing "their
