Ok so my router died today. One can survive without food and water nowadays, but without the internet?? You got to be kidding me. And so when a crisis of such magnitude hits, one has to press the panic button. A few frantic calls to Du confirmed my initial suspicions that the router had served …
Qala was a good movie, but only for the performances of the lead pair – Tripti Dimri and Babil Khan. The direction was a bit Sanjay Leela Bhansali type – over indulgent, pretentious and quite laborious. Tripti and Babil however, made the effort worth a watch. I still remember the awkward debuts that star kids …
A lot of people get in touch with me seeking jobs in the UAE. I do try to help whenever I can. But very few people come to me asking how to succeed in the UAE. Not that I am an authority on the subject, but I came here with nothing and I have done …
Tomorrow we enter the long weekend – a weekend of celebration. A celebration of a young, but ambitious nation. One that was built not on abundance of people or resources, but of vision and resolve. One that could have squandered away its newly-found wealth, but instead chose to lay the foundation of sustained prosperity. I …
Tomorrow is the last working day, before a 5-day weekend. And as usual, I am thinking of how to spend my time productively. Holidays are an odd thing – no matter how long they are, they pass before you know it. I did a bit of searching and stumbled upon the post below – that …
Surprise Surprise! The 30*30 finished a day ago, and no one realized it. We just kept posting our scores as usual…It became a habit!

He is nearly two and yet the only comprehensible words that come out of his mouth are Tethe and saaaa. And yes, a hit of the epiglottal “grrrr” as well, serving as a possible prelude to Go (of the ready steady series). Some speak faster, some take their time. I don’t quite concern myself yet, …
I read somewhere that we have the best healthcare accessible to us – best that we as a species have ever had. But we also are the most vulnerable – given the reduced immunity and dependence on the very medicines that have increased our life spans. The rich bio-diversity has also shrunk constantly, to a …
It’s Black Friday. Or Yellow Friday, or White Wednesday, or whatever color is offered in this part of the world by a particular retailer. It’s getting so weird, it’s not even funny anymore. And its in-your-face lies that is peddled in the name of discounts. The prices are shown discounted, but from a price that …
How does 16 become 400? I finally saw Kantara. And loved it. For once, priests are not shown to be vile. For once, traditions are not trampled upon, but celebrated. For once, the heroine doesn’t have to act as arm candy. She looks ordinary and therein lies the charm. For once, stories are woven around …
