Responsibility

Should Sanjay be pardoned?

I never keep my promises, at least on this blog. I started writing a series on Sambhaavnaa and left it after one post. This has become a habit. I had decided that I would write a post today, but then I thought there was a more important issue to be discussed. This issue must have [...]

Mela (Fair): Stories from Sambhaavnaa-1

Mela (Fair): Stories from Sambhaavnaa-1

देखिये हम ज्यादा इकोनॉमिक्स नहीं समझते। बस इतना जानते हैं कि अगर घर में एक बच्चा भूखा होगा, एक की स्कूल की फीस भरनी होगी और एक को मेला देखना होगा, तो हम पहले क्या करेंगे। [Translation: Look, I do not understand a lot of economics. But I know, if I had three children, one [...]

The Change Lies Within!!

A few weeks ago I read Hardik Joshi’s (my school friend) status. A conductor said to a guy “Change cannot always be given to you. Sometimes you need to bring change.” What a wonderful statement. On this line lies my article about the recent Delhi case. In my opinion, all the rage caused by this [...]

Objectivity

Objectivity

I am hungry, I am tired. And this should be an excuse for my mind to take over me, while I struggle with myself to work. I don’t know much how these four months passed by, but I got to know myself a lot more. It is not pure respect, I hated myself too. But nevertheless, these were four months following which I would like to pat myself, take three days off, sleep, read Jeffrey Archer, or maybe Paulo Coelho (any suggestions?), and come back to work again.

Toronto Diaries #2

I never complete these posts in one go. Perhaps, I should start writing the dates for different parts So, ignore the tense here, as “today” might have been three weeks earlier. We logically had fourth iteration of Zumbl today. For the background, I didn’t sleep yesterday so I was really tired today. As a result, [...]

Why no Kolaveri Di? – Remembering a man who moved a mountain – alone.

Why no Kolaveri Di? – Remembering a man who moved a mountain – alone.

Wikipedia is all set to be shut down in response to “Stop Online Piracy Act”. I did my part of research in the afternoon trying to grasp about the law, how it would affect US, and more importantly (atleast, I presume so) it would affect us, in India. And I came across this title of [...]

Reasons to believe

New Year is fast approaching. While watching TV, I happened to see an advertisement by Coco Cola and I must say an awesome advertisement. The advertisement offers people with an alternate view of the optimism, much like fairy tales. (Very comparison with the fairy tale boasts about the pessimism which is there in our minds [...]

King will be right back :)

I just want to share an answer on one of the forums (quora) that happened to clutter my mailbox. The question that was asked was, If there is no God or gods, then what is there? Life. The moment. Love and loved ones. Accomplishment. Friendship and friends. The fascinating journey from birth to death. Self-confidence. [...]

You will have stories to tell

Prescript: I wrote this post about a month and half back, and it had been in my drafts as I thought it was incomplete. But somehow, I feel that it could not have gone further. A post from me is long overdue. But these days, my attention span has gone down. I do not focus [...]

Time for a corruption free India?

Anna Hazare is set to take up his struggle against corruption this Tuesday. This is a historic moment for all of us. We have a chance to be a part of a change, a change that we all have dreamt of. But we all have apprehensions. A few people raise voices against the approach that [...]

Distant Memories

Distant Memories

When we were kids, we could laugh without reason and not look stupid because of it. Life used to be so much easier. Happiness, so easy to find.  Yet times change, things change and people around you change. Relationships get complicated, aims get diversified, opinions get divided, paths get forked. There were times when winning [...]

Today is a special day

Today is the third Sunday of June, and it is Father’s Day. I wouldn’t have remembered but yesterday while I was tuned into the radio while travelling, the RJ reminded me that I should “pakka-pakka” spend the day with my family and make it special for them. But I am sad, I couldn’t be here [...]
