Every child is special – you couldn’t agree more with it after you watch this Darsheel Safary (Ishan Awasthi in the movie) starrer. Aamir Khan has done it yet again. In an era where super stars shy away from playing second fiddle to other actors, Aamir Khan weaves the story in such a way [...]

Dear momma,
I have lived all these days listening to all my friends’ shrill, piercing cries. Everyday, I wake up thinking it’s going to be me today, but that just doesn’t happen. It is a bittersweet thing – you feel happy that you are alive and sad as you hear your friends, with whom you spend [...]

Ho Ho Ho, it is that time of the year again!!!
The whole day spent swatting flies,
With no regard for time as it dies.

There is nothing much on the idiot box,
Yet no motive for you to grab your socks.
You reminisce, look back, [...]

I kept dreaming about this for weeks. It turned out to be such a nightmare.
No, obviously not for me. For the Dean.
Here are some excerpts from the Lab Viva.

Dean: Do you smoke??
Me: Sir, are you asking this question as the Dean or as a professor of the Department of Ocean Engineering??
