Not so long ago, one had to book a telephone connection and wait [by the window, biscuit dipped in tea] for months before a lineman appeared for the installation. On the day, one would organize a party serving only cheap liquor and show-off the magical device. But, no one you knew had a phone so…

After reading Blink I began to connect the dots. Ten minutes later I was proud of a giraffe. [Advertising & Jobs] I had been sitting at my corner desk, brandished with a self-imposed designation OCD (Oddly Creative Director) on the pin-up board, surfing in a paradoxical wave of ideas. *Or daydreaming porn in other words.…

Ever heard people rant about how they loved their school days, and if they’d get a chance to go back in time, they’d do it in a blink of an eye. Well, that is certainly not my case. I dreaded school, the very thought of school, even now, makes my stomach hurl – sickening, really.…

A while back, I had prepared a list of females that men should avoid at all costs. This time around, and due to popular demand, I’ve compiled the antidote. The list of men you’ll read about have either been acquaintances or been known in some way or other. The point is that the list matters,…

Recently, on my way to Delhi, at the railway station, I picked up a book: Why Men Lie and Women Cry. I figured the journey was going to be a long one, and my buddies were not exactly up in any mood for conversation. Note: Me and Anish – the guy who thinks he’s intellectually…

Why the iPhone? Why not Blackberry? Don’t worry, I’ll get to that too, a bit later, though. But first, I have a confession. I think I’ve got the iPhone flu. All I can think of is the iPhone. Be it during work, those odd – chicken and duck – meetings, even when I’m ogling away…

After much reluctance and anticipation I’ve finally switched over to WordPress from Blogger. Yes, there were those times when anxiety levels went through the roof – attempts to make sense of hosting servers, DNS, mySQL and other similar nerdy quacks became quite an orgy in themselves. I even ended up deleting a few things that…
