Reading about the latest in the series of bomb blasts and shootings in Bombay makes me sick to the stomach. Will this mindless violence ever end?
May those who lost their lives today rest in peace and those who are injured make a speedy recovery.

All my life I grew up feeling entitled to a whole lot of things like a happy childhood, loving parents, a roof over my head, clothes the way I wanted it. You name it. In the natural progression of things dictated by what my peers did, I felt entitled and more often than not, got […]
As is my customary ritual I emailed my cousin V detailing my weekend jaunts. She replied back in an hour talking about her weekend and finished of her email with news of a family friend’s death. Somehow, reading her email made me feel sad. Real sad.
For the longest time when I lived in CBE, V’s […]
In one of my regular conversations with my friend, we went down a rather thought provoking discussion on how does one discover their calling in life.

As my mom spoke of yet another good friend who lost her mom this past week, I slipped into a melancholic state. The raw feelings of grief that washed over me when I realized my dad’s loss revisited me all over again. No matter our age, it is always hard to deal with the loss […]
Friday night we had a graduation party to attend to. Armed with The Code Book by Simon Singh, we showed up a few minutes into the party. As we sat around in their spacious living room and exchanged pleasantries with the other guests, I noticed that almost all of them who were there had kids. […]
You know you are a generation past when

Testimonials on Orkut make you go “What are they thinking??”
You don’t wonder if you should get your hair “colored”. You think when next to do it.
You realize you have three nieces and a nephew

After almost half a year of sharing most of the inner workings of my mind, today I am at a loss for words. I sit staring blankly at the editor in front of me. It is one of those days when I feel a disquiet rustling inside me. The stirrings of a deep seated craving […]
Down and out is how I feel
When all of future resembles the current day
I can feel sadness welling inside me
Like a wave ready to crash
Yet I blink and carry on
For there is no reason I should be sad
