One hour it took us in full,
To reach the temple of the Big Bull;

We entered the Garuda Mall!
Day 2:

Hard this semester’s going to be,
I will be squeezed for time if I know me;
GRE, CAT, Placements and more,
I must definitely go to Bang-a-lore!
Day -18:
If you read that as Day 18, you are as wrong as the next person who reads it as Day 18. It’s minus 18 and if you are wondering why, [...]

50 is a celebrated number, a number that is hyped beyond all glory and a number that serves as an excuse to show your joy and celebrate. My 50th post must mean a big deal to me. In fact, it doesn’t. It is just another number, as good and bad as 49. It is [...]

It was a sultry day in Chennai, and I was drenched with sweat as I sat alongside my mother and my little baby sister on a bus that seemed to be on an eternal journey to nowhere. The usual hustle and bustle was very much there, with people from different walks of society converging upon [...]

Ben, the snowman, was excited. It was that time of the year again. In a few minutes, he will be meeting his close friend, Ken, another snowman, after a long time, a year precisely.

I often wonder how an actor accepts a role for a movie. The first and the obvious thing would be the script. Different actors look for different things in a script, but how is it possible that there are so many bad movies made? Is it the director’s fault? Sadly, we can’t point out one [...]

How many of us can relate to the classic melody by Mohd. Rafi, Mere Mehboob Tujhe, from the movie Mere Mehboob? You must be wondering what I am talking about. How about, the one and only, “greatest” of all music composers, Himesh Reshammiya’s Tanhaiya or Jhalak Dikhlaja?? Ah, I see your face glow. But, is [...]

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.
Tons and tons of food lying around,
A cargo load which will run a ship aground.
