Euro 2008
The Dutch have looked the best outfit so far, on target to replicate their feat 20 years ago. Marco Van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard were part of that winning team which provided entertainment throughout the tourney. Spain too will be through to the quarters if they win today. For Italy and France it would be a repeat of the World Cup fin... more...

Comic Cops
The Aarushi murder is horrendous. Even after 2 weeks the Police have been unable to track down the killer. The case has gone to the CBI and this too has not made much of a difference. It seems to be a trial and error scenario which puts the law enforcers in very poor light. ( The news channels are having non stop fun for sure) The Rohtak rape and s... more...

When every Rupee counts...
Have you ever been left with a few Rupees in your pocket just enough to get back home by the cheapest mode of transport? I went through this horror not too long back. I went to the bank to collect my pass book and had only a hundred bucks with me. On my way back, I topped up my phone by about half of that and walked to the nearest HSBC ATM to draw ... more...

Bird Flu
The epidemic by this name spread like wild fire in West Bengal a few months ago resulting in the culling of hundreds of thousands of the feathered creatures. In a way, I feel really sorry for them as they are bread for the purpose of feeding humans and their life span doesn’t exceed a month and a half. Sadly, no vaccine has been invented to eradica... more...

Chennai, then and now
This is not some comparison about the present and the colonial times, but it is more about the cosmopolitan city I traversed in the ‘90s and the one I’m encountering at present. It’s an amazing coincidence that my professional sojourn had to start at Grill-X for which I had to board 29C at Sterling to alight at Music Academy and precisely doing the... more...

Game Set and match
I was working in Ghana and happened to come for a vacation in Feb '97. My mother was worried (my cousins had been telling her) I'll bring back a Black beauty and she had hastily arranged for a bride (to be) from a relative's family. This girl too had studied in India like me, but we never got to meet each other. My father picked me up at 5am from t... more...

Twenty 20
After a high of over 3 months the Indian teams moral came crashing down at Motera in Ahmedabad yesterday. True Sachin, the master was missing and his presence would have made a lot of difference. But, what about the the other seasoned men who looked like a pack of nervous school boys to be shot out for a paltry 76. Only Irfan Pathan showed any sign... more...

SMS Girls
Took the electricians to Ramu sir's place yesterday. His younger daughter Nandu was there. But, she spoke to me as if I was a first timer to their house hold. I had to remind her I had visited their home and had had breakfast with her dad,Sathya and Pugal. She kept insisting it must have been her older sibling,who I'm afraid I hadn't met until late... more...

A brief time as a Coquette
Nothing new to pen so dredging up an old one for ya’ll from my teendom. How I almost became a coquette and got sucked into the lives of BB and her hubby.. My mom’s pal BB (BIG take your pick for the second B) had a problem she has a hubby who loves her deeply. But BB just tolerated him. His show of love irritated her no end- but luckily for her he ...  more...

The main power supply of our office had some problem that day and somehow huge flames of fire started coming out...  more...

And I Keep on Waiting......
Its 8:15 a.m. and I stand here in the bus stop waiting for the officebus to arrive. I stand here in the same manner as I did a few yearsback waiting for my college bus. Little did I know then that thingswould change so much in 2 years; the sky under which I am standing seems to be looking at me and smiling .. It is perhaps the only thingthat has ac...  more...

So what next?
When I think of a new relationship, I feel stumped. What is it that people look for in their partner? What is it that I should be looking for? And what is it that my partner would look for..in me? After this one experience, I can no longer kid myself into believing in divine plans of love and 'someone somewhere is made for me' kind of stuff. Coz I ...  more...
