My first memory of any kind of neighbor was Adrian Aunty. A large Anglo-Indian woman, who’s constantly puckered lips either had a cigarette in them, or were looking forward to their next one. Every evening, she was either at the window with a glass of port wine or tucked away in her air-conditioned bedroom playing […]
I’ve been meaning to say this for a long time, so here goes. I love Priyanka Chopra. Sure she won the Ms. World title after a wrong answer in her question-answer round. She was asked by Jerry Springer, American T.V show host, who she thought was the most successful woman living and she answered Mother […]
Michael Buble is unnecessarily cute and talented. To protest this, I have had “Just Haven’t Met You Yet” by him on loop for the past few weeks. Promise you kid, to give so much more than I get I just haven’t met you yet Ashley, my college roommate, introduced me to Michael Buble (pron:Boob-lay, I […]
Tiger Tiger. burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye. Could frame thy fearful symmetry? William Blake’s rich imagery and sheer awe for his subject left a serious impression on me when I first read the poem as a 12-year-old. The image of a tiger at the edge of a […]
As is with most other bandwagons, I’m about 2 years late in jumping on the Brand My Day meme. I first found it on JaneSample’s blog (that is now unfortunately inactive) but I always nurtured the dream to be able to post one of these on my blog. It’s very enlightening, suddenly opening your eyes […]
EDIT: Back to having problems with linking stuff in my posts. I’ve listed all links at then end of the post. The Maharashtra (the state in which Mumbai is located) court recently announced that from now on, they would only hand out taxi permits to people who could speak, read and write Marathi fluently. I’m […]
In the wake of one of the worst natural disasters in history Pat Robertson, televangalist, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, 1988 US Presidential hopeful, host of the 700 Club (we even have ourselves an Indian version of the show ‘Ek Nayi Zindagi’ (a new life) on Star Plus), and sociopath dropped the following pearls […]
So this gem is making the rounds on facebook now. “We are playing a game… silly, but fun! Write the colour of your bra as your status, just the colour, nothing else!! Copy this and pass it on to all girls/females … NO MEN!! This will be fun to see how it spreads, and we […]
It’s a scientifically established fact that T.V is awesome. But to be very honest, except for the spate of reality shows that I only watch because metaphorical train wrecks are more watchable than actual train wrecks (A not-so-subtle nod to you Ms. Sawant!) there’s nothing that can keep me watching T.V for more than a […]
It’s appalling how violent we as a society have become. In the US, Cops are tasering, (I will NOT say TAZING. It’s not even a word. Come to think of it, neither is tasering. Nice to know that even though my vocabulary is going down the drain at least it’s going the urban dictionary way) […]
