Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
To each it’s the food of the soil
Yet it’s all a clever political foil
Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
They beef up their security
While our lives are full of anxiety
Oh my [...]

It’s finally over.
Nearly 60 hours of an ordeal that will go down in the history of our country as one of the most trying. A monument left in shambles, more than 160 casualties, close to 400 injured, souls scarred.
As I watched the last encounter taking place glued to my television mixed emotions prevailed, happiness that [...]

While our state politicians were busy fighting over pohe and pav, vociferously defending the terror attacks in Malegaon and blaming the ATS (Anti Terrorist Squad) as partisan, they gave a red carpet welcome to approx. 26 militants to hold the financial capital to ransom. And this time it was not some coward militants who planted [...]

Dear Honorable Mr. AR
I’m so stressed the minute I leave the comforts of my home these days. I’m sure I’ll have a nervous breakdown soon as I find people staring at me as though I’m some alien or criminal that people have been wanting to nail down. I don’t know what’s the cash award on [...]

I just finished the 10000th post – well nearly. I do know though that I have missed a few zeroes after that but then it’s fine to be modest sometimes.
Actually It’s all in the mind you know. Fine, there were more or less around that many ideas for a post - but they never reached [...]

Was in three of my favourite cities lately – Philadelphia, Boston, and New York (In no particular order of preference just sequence of stay) all by myself. One of those rare occassions when I had no colleagues or friends and more importantly loved ones for company. Sometimes being a social animal takes a different meaning [...]

10 years from now apparently most of the posh localities like Worli, Juhu, Colaba etc are going to be under water. Well maybe not completely but yes maybe you could get to you building gate in a boat. The paranoia of Global Warming is getting to everyone these days. I remember 15 years back I [...]

Dearest Dad and Mom,
How are you? I hope you are doing fine. I am fine but very disappointed today. I know I have not been known to complain but I will today – wholeheartedly.
Why did you not allow me to break more bulbs and window panes when I was younger? Why did you scold [...]

For anyone in business someone who doesn’t network it spells the death knell for the business. However, this is not about business. This is about networking – more so social networking…and no I’m not talking about them dating sites (I’m way past that age and time). I’m talking about this phenomenon that is catching up, [...]

How does one react when someone pronounces your name wrong? I remember someone in school once told me it’s a proper noun doesn’t matter. Huh? Save me the screw up of my name honey.
Though I’ve had the good fortune of having a unique name, thanks to my Dad’s creativity, it has come with its set [...]
