It's been 2 days since the news of Sushant Singh Rajput ending his own life shook all of us to the core. Most of us didn't know him in person, he might not even have been our favourite actor. And yet, almost everyone I speak to, is distressed and devastated by the news. As much … Continue reading It is a Big Deal !
Scape-Goat-ism
For a year now, I have been a part of the corporate world. It was a world I was scared of, from the outside. And not a lot has changed yet. One of the things that I have learnt though, is a strange pattern of human behaviour, which I call 'Scape-Goat-ism' ............................... Corporate is like … Continue reading Scape-Goat-ism
If Only, Papa was a Soldier
I lost my father about a year and a half ago. He was an extraordinary man who lived an ordinary life. I know, every son feels the same about his father.

The Classical Conditioning of Notions
About an year ago, while I was traveling in the Delhi Metro, I witnessed a unique episode. Inside the coach, these sign boards appears over every corner seat When I boarded, there was already an old aged Sikh couple sitting in the opposite row.

Because Hatred is easy to spread !
For a couple of years, my blog has remained rather inactive. And there's a reason to it. I'm decent with social networking and sorts.

Being Classy !
"I don't like talking to him" she said. "That's perfectly ok" was my reply "but for what reason". She continued "Well, he is just not our class.... you know.....hanging around with him won't be of any good" It was a setback for me.

Because we generalize too soon….
While I was in New Delhi recently, I had an interaction with a Canadian lady who had just landed in India. After about an hour of light hearted conversation, she said "You Indians are really cheerful". To which, I politely replied "You still can't say that lady, you have only met one Indian in me.... there … Continue reading Because we generalize too soon….
Be sporting
For the past few days, I have been playing soccer regularly. I realized that it doesn't matter what your age is, you simply enjoy when you start playing a sport. There is something about sports that keeps us in high spirit. Nothing eradicates disparity as quickly as sport. It is just pure fun, regardless of … Continue reading Be sporting
