May Friendship never die

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:28:00 GMT

Today is Samvatsari, last day of the eight day festival of Jains. As I complete my fasting and reflect back, I really feel sorry for the strained relationship I developed with one of my friend. I'm not here to confess or delve into how it happened or whose mistake was it. It is just that it reminds me of the first poem I read which inspired me to hold a pen and start writing.

The drifter inside

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:44:00 GMT

This is the story of a software engineer who once decided to take the path of a drifter where he could romanticize with virtually anything thrown at him. A fictional story inspired by real life events. CAUTION: It's written in an eccentric state of mind so read it at your own risk.

Craving for fascinating movies

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:06:00 GMT

I just finished watching "Gulaal" and was absolutely blown away by the fantastic performance exhibited by a great ensemble cast. As a matter of fact, it's a pity that this movie was stuck for 6 years since there was nobody ready to finance it. There are so many similar good low budget movies that have a story to tell with very fine actors but unfortunately very few get endorsed. So who is to blame for this total apathy towards good cinema?

How patriotic are we Indians?

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:05:00 GMT

What really defines patriotism? Before I could even make my humble attempt to try and define it, I see so many things around me that masquerade themselves as purported symbols of patriotism.
Shouting slogans on streets, Slumdog bashing, ushering Team India (Yeah, there is only 1 sport and 1 team in India. You could say "It's not cricket" but it is Cricket indeed), donating to charity organizations with the only purpose of getting tax benefits. Believe it or not, most of us live in this strange kind of fallacy where we get a false sense of patriotic pride virtually out of nothing or rather very trivial and petty things.

Corporate Culture

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:13:00 GMT

Hide your insecurities, bitch at each other's back, wag your tail at every tantrum thrown at you by your boss, make noise to get recognized. Do anything and everything to reach the position where you think people will call you successful. Welcome to this chaotic world. Some call it as "Corporate Culture"

What if...A Short Story

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 06:41:00 GMT

All characters in this story are purely fictional and any resemblance with living, dead or someone stuck in between is purely coincidental. I've just put across few frivolous thoughts and tried to form a short slice of life story.

Story of Stuff

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:30:00 GMT

Real cool video which forces us to think where are we heading towards with so much of consumerism in today's materialistic world. Some of you may find this funny, exaggerated, educational or enlightening but nevertheless it's a definite food for thought and worth a watch.
