Of Language – I

Contrary to some Indian jingoistic opinions, which are usually a consequence of either the American capitalistic or protectionist policies, my experience of the United States has been a pretty secular and productive one. People are generally in the mood to get things done, rather than yak about inequities (if there are any). Barring a few [...]

Change… really?

Every time I see an Indian security guard, I get this unfortunately vivid recollection of a memory.. one of those I’d rather not remember. And it happens unfailingly every time a movie comes on or I walk past a corporate office.
It happened about 9 years ago. There was a new guard hired in mom’s school.  [...]

Excuse me?!

It takes just 2 days for you to capture one of the MOST WANTED MEN in India? One quick covert operation, no casualties, no fights, no retaliation, nothing!
All I can see is the degree of knowledge you have about these terrorists and their exact locations. All I can make out is the fact that when [...]

I am answerable.

When 9/11 happened, I was still in college. Though I was old enough to understand the gravity of the horrendous act, I was not attached enough to empathize fully with those who had loved and lost. And as the events unfolded and war was declared, I thought it was the only right retaliation that one [...]

Who is answerable?

Been stuck to the Live streaming news channels since 3 days. Tried to shop for people back home, but it was such a manual event. Came back and stuck glued again to the incessant firing and repeated fires in the hotels.
Called up mom 6 times over the 3 days. Called up another and screamed at [...]

F*t!

High frequency words – body fat percentage, low carb, glutes, Nikes, steroids, shin splints, pasta salad.. the list is endless.
Ask me, a hopeless soul trying to stay on a diet. I’m slapped everyday with e-newsletters and tips on how a banana is better than a burger or how to avoid eating highly refined foods. And [...]

Top 5 Don’ts in the US – By Pilon

Now this guy has been here for over two years as an engineer for really big names. He’s seen it all – staying with a Russian female, having his hotel room burnt to ashes, getting squeezed in a car by a truck, and even worrying about insurance when his foot banged against a bannister. Many [...]

And then, about that!

I did not know how to approach this topic, having very less experience with it myself. An unbiased review would have been past the point of attempt, but a classmate of mine has done a wonderful job at it.
It’s not that I don’t understand the need for erotica by some people.. it’s just the amount [...]

I know..

I know, I know.. it’s been late.. but what could I do.. I was clueless about what I wanted to write on!
But for the most part, what I have been doing has been very similarly captured in the video below (please pardon the source mentioned in the video ). Sigh.. the [...]

Classmates

I’ll have another ‘official’ post on classmates soon, but this one guy in my class is worth telling you about. He is from the Dominican Republic, a really sweet chap. He mimics my accent by saying ‘COORRACT’ (correct) and someday, all the girls in our class are really going to thump him, the way he [...]
