Calcutta Complaints

Am in Calcutta now, and I am hating it. With clipped wings and a doctor who is suspecting early Cervical cancer or Crohn’s disease, what more could you expect. Hopefully it is neither and I will get to know what it really is only next week. Meanwhile the city is making me insane. The traffic, [...]

Addition to Kalam’s Frisking

If you thought I was being offensive about a “great leader” like APJ when I said he should have never created a fuss, you should go read the latest news reports. Agreed he went through checking without a word, but then he is actually expecting an apology? He is aware of the fact that the [...]

Why Frisking of ex-President APJ at the Airport is OK

Heard how absurd we Indians are? They made an entire airline apologise for frisking an ex-President. I mean, we actually have a law in place that exempts our ex Presidents, PMs and Chief Justice from being frisked at airports? Are they God? Can they not be threatened by a terrorist organization to carry explosives, or [...]

The Truth About Mothers in Law

Was just chatting with an old schoolmate who got married recently and waxed eloquent about her mother in law. Just made me wonder how much of it was made up, and how well she was lying. Because I have seen and heard enough to know that at the end of the day you can’t have [...]

I DON”T Want to Go Home.

Ok, if you are not in the mood for reading rant, go read something else. I am frightfuly snappy right now.
I can’t remember being more pissed about going home than this time. I feel like kicking myself for getting all panicked about a stupid stomach ache. I blew it, called the family, got the air [...]

In Defence of Urbanization

Is it really a bad thing to be pro-Urbanization at the cost of doing away with unused open spaces?
I am thoroughly pro-city and I completely believe that an open field, a hillside, a swampy land can be put to better use rather than just kept waste. Urbanization is such a basic requisite for human progress [...]

My Mapping Has Gone Nuts, Guys !!

Ok, at the cost of suicide, I think there is something wrong with the way my blog is mapping visitors. I have 14000 plus visitors in less than a year, fine, (and that is with a count reset I had stupidly clicked on once) but the mapping system is definitely weird. I mean, why on [...]

The Medical Machinery in Goa

Goa has lived up to its reputation fellas. Viva Goa !!
I can’t remember if I have have told y’all earlier about the brilliant medical system in place here at Goa. So indulge me again.
Right after my wedding, there was a good deal of ahem, activity happening. And on our evenings out drinking in Panjim with [...]

Why I Won’t Have Domino’s Pizza Again

You know you thought that after the whole incident where Domino’s Pizza guys were videotaped putting snot and pubic hair on their customer’s pizza you’d imagine they’d at least make an attempt to clean up their act. But the attitude these guys show in selling their thoroughly insipid pizzas here in Goa would make you [...]

Shocking !!

I couldn’t believe what I was reading when D sent me this link yesterday. Women being forced to go through virginity tests before the wedding at Madhya Pradesh at a mass wedding held under the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s pet scheme aimed to help girls from poor families tie the knot at [...]
