Restarting the blog

Eight months have passed since I have written anything. These have been the most busy, wonderful, horrible, excruciatingly painful, stunningly glamorous… (I could go on and on)
A lot has happened. Yours truly almost didn’t get accepted in any  university and almost died of heartbreak (It was like getting rejected from IIT six times). At that [...]

Star’s End

Its been ages now, and unlike DK I tend to be both irregular and prosiac…
Anyway, I’ve finally finished Agatha Christie. 70 novels are no mean feat and in the end even sordid murders had started to feel wearisome. I got tired of Poirot’s vanity and yet he is likeable. Miss Marple on the other hand [...]

And Then There Were None

For Agatha Christie  fans,  the play, presented as a novel, is one of the most excellent crime thrillers I’ve read recently. And it is not a detective ‘whodunit’. Its a bit gruesome but you’ll enjoy it all the same. A deep analysis of human psyche is done which of course is AC’s strong point. Unfortunately [...]

I’m Bach..

Well, my apologies for not posting in ages.
I can’t make excuses, to put it simply I’ve been through a lot of personal hell, all thanks to the amazing capability of sheer irrationality in some and malice in others. It was one of the few times punishment was being dished out to me for no fault [...]

Guha Ha Ha

For the uninitiated (and Mr. Batra) I’m not hysterical. This is merely something the fertile mind of one ingenuous and ingenious dynamic duo of brothers invented, and was made a war chant of in the GTBIT fest by Harish Algappa and company.
Yes, these guys were actually sloganeering ‘Guha ha ha’ on the winning of the [...]

Epiphany

Greetings!! Long time no post I guess..
My last two weeks were super duper excellent. Experience, instinct and sheer despondency were proven wrong as I’ve had some experience of pure perfection. Stuff is happening which can be only described as heavenly manna dropping all over the place. The term minors were insignificant irritants compared to the [...]

Of Fools…

Its early morning and Fool’s day is already having an effect.
I decided last night to stop being Mr. Rectitude and to seriously consider becoming a slimeball. And having regrets and thoughts of guilt within 8 hours, without having ‘done’ anything yet. I’ve understood something in the last few hours. Some of us are just not [...]

The Nature of Despair

dil jalata hai to jalane de
aansu na baha fariyaad na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de
tu parada nasheen ka aashiq hai
yoon naam-e-vafa barabaad na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de
maasoom najar ke teer chala
bismil ko bismil aur bana
ab sharm-o-haya ke parade mein
yoon chhup chhup ke bedaad na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de
ham aas lagaaye [...]

A Thousand Wishes And Sighs

Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ki har khwahish pe dum nikle bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle
Mirza Galib
The year is about to end leaving behind unfulfilled promises and a rather uncomfortable amount of regrets. They say that time is a leveller and doesn’t really care who cries in its wake. Benazir is dead, they [...]

An Interesting Life

May you have an interesting life–Chinese Curse
First of all an apology to a certain divebomber, I’ve dropped the idea of a blog contrasting the principles of the two greatest space operas ever simply because no one else will understand the joke.. And I don’t feel like joking..
Wishes have a bad habit of coming true. Never [...]
