We live in a very confusing world and an even more perplexing county. India for all its diversity and unity shall forever (or at least for the foreseeable future) be divided in a manner that even the masters of "Divide & Rule" the Britishers hadn't foreseen. While attending college in Gujarat, I met a lot of people during my orientation and afterwards. Now, at a PG level, and that too in a fairly reputed institute, you would expect people to have a basic idea of their own country's geography. Alas! I was sadly mistaken. As is the case when you are meeting a lot of new people for the first time, we usually enquire their names and where they are from among other things. The minute anyone, me included, named a place from the south, we were classified as Madrasis. I was, to say the least, pretty surprised and earnestly tried to clarify that I wasn't from Madras or Chennai or even the same state. As one friend told me then, everything south of the Vindhyas is South ...

There are some people who will feel happy to put me in cage and hang me over pacific ocean. I have ended some ‘relations’ I know it’s cruel , callous and insensitive in a way , but I need to end what’s not working out , atleast for me. I know I am being bad by cutting off from it . Makes me a not-so-nice guy .I think romantic love is an illusion created by exaggerated hormone play which serves the movie industry and misleads the impressionable youth . All I can say is Amen, Brother :)

** Recently, as I was on my Retail Yatra as part of my curriculum at MICA, we visited the Hidesign facility in Pondicherry. And as we were speaking to Mr.Kapoor, the CEO, who, while displaying all the leather accessories showed us some distinctly feminine looking handbag like accessories and told us, that they, were in fact for men. Thus was born the idea for this entry. Also having been around enough women/friends of the female variety/girl friends and having been put in this altogether very wierd situation, here comes forth some wisdom that I now offer to you, free. “Handbags are for poofters and girls.” ~ Oscar Wilde on not being flamingly homosexual “It's a man-purse!” ~ Your friend on why his girlfriend left him “It's not a purse, it's European!” ~ Jerry Seinfeld on his purse ...

Pillow fighting Pillow fighting is the deplorable act of two or more pillows attacking each other in an often violent fashion. These acts can range in intensity from minor bar fights to full scale turf wars, and are heavily frowned upon by the world community as a whole. For many, the realization that pillows — often depicted as soft, cuddly, and even submissive to the human head — have such violent tendencies can shatter their entire world perspective. If one cannot trust his own pillow, who can one trust? History Most experts agree: Pillow fighting has been around since the dawn of pillows, or at least the early morning. Though artworks since the dawn of civilization hint of pillow fights, no one can pin down the exact moment altercations have begun. "Brawling with each other seems to be built into the genetic code of these pillows," says scientist Harvey Von Braun, "Using goose feather dating, we can pinpoint a ...

Volcanoes are large bulges in the earth's crust where the very ground itself opens in a melodramatic burst of annoying lava and ash. In other words, they are like mountains, but scientists like to talk about them. This is because the volcanoes are annoying little attention whores. Although most people try to simply ignore them, their frequent eruptions make this very difficult. As they spew forth their fiery magma, they claim it is a "cry for attention." In actuality, some volcanoes really do just want to be loved. Most, however, are only following an annoying trend laid down by their forefathers, the mighty attention-whoring volcanoes of old. Formation Volcanoes are often formed where two plates of crust decide that they don't love each other anymore, and move apart. They can also be formed when the two plates get into a fight , and charge at each other with blind ferocity, often as quickly as two inches-per-year. If the new bulge of ground that they form is ...
