  • I Once Named A Cyclone & Felt Acutely Bad About It

    It is November 2013. The name was Rena. And it caused more than a thousand casualties. Although it was a dream which I now wish should never come true, I glanced at the headlines of TOI and instead of inducing jubilance, it worked against the purpose.

  • I Once Asked A Girl Out To A Temple Who Was…

  • Independence Day Is A Day Off!

    Today I bid goodbye to my friends and joked about how I was gonna change my Facebook profile picture on account of India’s 66th Independence Day. I would Google the tricolor and upload it. It’s a shame, and even I am totally into it, that we consider completing our pending jobs on this day or…
