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.

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".

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
