I watched ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ a few days ago, first day, last show, ahem! For emotional idiots like myself, Arijit Singh’s intensity, Pritam’s composition and lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya for the title track, it was more than enough to sway us to the theatres. Add the much hyped Anti-National hullabaloo to the mix and […]
To be or not to be – either ways it is!
There’s a reason we call it Life Cycle or a Vicious Cirlce or that it came full circle. And, I would prefer to call it a circle, it refers to Life. Life is indeed a circle because it’s all connected the present to the past and the past to the future and all the other […]

Pandora, thou art cruel to Poor Benjamin!
My world is my own to comprehend. I may let you in, most reluctantly; however, it wouldn’t make sense to you. You wouldn’t be able to comprehend things by the rules you and yours have made and the way you see the world. My world is inside me. It would be difficult for you to […]

Secondary Citizen: The Art Of Being A Runner Up On Your Own Turf
What’s been happening lately? Nothing personally, but quite a lot everywhere else. The sum total of my experiences at this point of time is zero; however, when you add what’s been happening around the world and how we relate to it, it’s a relatively staggering higher percentage. Nearly 12.7 percent of the total world’s population […]
Why you can’t feel like a raped woman India?
Many blog posts begin with this statement – it’s been long since I posted something on this blog. It is a justification, more so an apology to oneself and perhaps to whatever the few readers humble, forsaken and forgotten blogs like mine have. It was an accident that I stumbled across this blog today when […]
The Choices I Made Tomorrow
Choice – a simple word with such far fetching implications that an entire subject has been dedicated to it. Life is a complex web of several choices, many a times the same choice leading to different destinations and often different ones leading to different goals. Economics studies human behaviour and the problem of choices. It […]
Insomnia
It’s quiet, It’s late, it’s night; Not a soul, none in sight! Up and awake, Retrieving lost hopes tonight; Hoping to gather fresh Insight! Ridiculous, ain’t I? Adding life to the dead; Going where no one dares Tread! Still walk, I stumble, I fall; I open my arms, embrace it all! The Spirit, In Veins, […]
‘Chi’ ‘mera’ Obscura – Mera Kya Jaata Hai?
Life, as we experience it, is a series of thoughts manifested in reality or left alone in imagination. Either ways they are memories of what could be or of what couldn’t be. The current trending item in life’s aisle is “Darkness,” which is why words such as ‘Black Friday’, ‘War,’ ‘Death Metal,’ ‘Execution,’ ‘Super Power’ […]
The Mirror and I
Felt rather lonely as I lay in bed and listened to a playlist that consisted of nearly 250 songs, most of which I had never bothered to hear. The blue light from the headset kept flickering in the darkness. The alternation between the flickering blue lights and my eye lids fell in perfect harmony like […]
The SWOT Kid
Life is a dynamic process. It keeps on changing whether you realize or not. Currently, my post graduate program requires that i undertake a research study. I am clear on the subject I would like to undertake my study on; however, there are plenty around me who don’t and who tend to approach me for […]
