Just back from the evening show of Wake Up Sid – nice movie, simple theme, with nice songs and decent acting by most of the actors. Probably Karan Johar had enough of wooing the NRI segment, so now he’s targeting the youngistan crowd, bachelors living it out in metros working for IT and various other [...]

The Real India
In the past few months I have been living in 4 different cities – Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, and now Mumbai. In every city, there hasn’t been a single day I haven’t cribbed about the woes of living in that particular city. I have always found faults with each and every one of them. In Kolkata, [...]

Mumbai Chronicles – 1
The other day I was travelling from Fort to Chembur through the harbour route on my bike when I saw a line of bullock carts pulling tankers of petrol (500 litres). In a age when we are moving to dedicated frieght railway lines and cargo flyers, it was quite amusing to see this mode of [...]

Of IIMs & Premium Bschools

I’ll break free

The lone road ahead
Yesterday I was at an Irani cafe, Kooler’s, Matunga. This joint is frequented by the local college junta who almost spend the entire day sitting out here doing nothing. Yesterday was no different with a bunch of kids sitting outside on the steps of the shop happily chatting and giggling away lost in their own [...]

Have you travelled more than my bike?
My goal in life is to travel around the world. But before that I still have to visit so many places in my country itself. People say I have travelled a lot within India, but on a percentage basis, I believe I have been to less than 10% of the places to be seen in [...]

A short trip
And that’s how I consider my trip from Chennai to Bangalore. Seriously, my blax trips in XL have been longer. 7 hours straight. The only perceptible difference I could make that my glorious bums had crashed out, they were dead. So many people advised me to make a trip to the temple before the trip. [...]
