Back to the Grind
    I had been clamouring for a break and shouting myself hoarse over this ever since I got into the big bad world of corporate slavery and bid adieu to the serene innocence of college life.Finally I had my wish granted this May  after an inauspicious and unsavoury break up of sorts from my previous employer and it was a forced break from the main ... more...

The Spectre of Green
The spectre of  Greenish tinge on the playing strip has returned to lay India flat on its back and  how... the triple centurion of Chennai , the century maker on the Chennai  featherbed all blown away in the face of determined pace bowling. Some might say..deja-vu 2003-04, when after barely managing a draw in Chennai , the vicious Aussies , looking... more...

RACE : The ensuing of a new age
   The  new age  is  upon us , in more ways than one.An age where the end justifies the means and  bad  guys finish first. They say ..literature and cinema is the mirror image of the society and times ...and if we go by that yardstick,it becomes apparent that "bad" is in  and  the  whole fabric of morality is turned upside down. Earlier, it used to... more...

OFFICE OR CONFINEMENT
Toiling day in and day out in the  claustophobic environment of the  modern office (  which ought to be an euphemism for Jail ) the basic free spirit of the human being , the natural spring in the steps and the effervescence is  squeezed out by various instruments .It is as if we are  entrapped in a desert , looking  for  water ( read survival mech... more...

Non - Conformity & Social Paranoia
 Present  day  society is maligned and riddled with so many afflictions that the relatively   smaller allergies escape our attention span which in itself has been rendered pretty myopic thanks to the advent of new parameters of judging success  and  happiness.Insipid  and insecure in our individual living , we continue to be inexorably drawn toward... more...

Why IPL is not an aberration in India
People   have  gone  into overdrive  when it comes to predicting the after effects of the IPL , the yet unborn baby conceived by BCCI. The reactions  have  been varied based on the loyalty  of the  person involved. While the Indian fellows are busy waxing eloquent about how this is going to revolutionize the lives of thousands of young aspiring cri... more...

Mind is a Place of its Own
To quote  Milton from "Paradise Lost"  , " Mind is a place  of  its  own,  it  can make heaven out of hell  and  hell out of  heaven". How  true, when I juxtapose my life against this  immortal line. I mean, there are  days when I wake up   with absolutely nothing in my mind  but spite, frustration  and disgust for every living soul on this damn ea... more...

Biggest Mistake of My Life
Boy  !!!! Did  I  just come face to face with death ?  These  and many more questions were pounding my mind just after I climbed down from the most dangerous ride in the amusement park. I was left wondering who comes up with such dangerous concepts of twirling and twisting human bodies in such contorting fashion that they feel like drowning, suffoc... more...

Bury the Golden Past
Stop all the hue and cry about our cricket team. The hockey team has once and for all settled all the debates about Cricket Vs. Hockey. Both the sports were invented by British but at least in Cricket we can proudly lay claims to being in the Top 5 everytime, whereas in Hockey these blokes failed to even get to the Olympics......H EHEHEHEHE .....At... more...

Shortest Possible Path
....In life we do not necessarily go by our whims and intuitions because it is deemed to be difficult to chart your own path. Unfortunately the path that seems to be the shortest possible or the least treacherous may not turn out to be that. more...
