mumbai

I forgot my keys.
Out of desperation, I bought an economics magazine worth 200 rupees.
I met a boy who lives in a building named Pink Apartment.
I helped a grown man select a suit.
I ate a chocolate flavoured sweet dish that reminded me of the 90's. 

I saw the place where coins are minted.
I saw rats on the railway tracks. 

I cooked eggs with capsicum. And added garam masala to it.
This doesn't have the punchline you were looking for.

sense and sensibility

Google AdSense rejected my application. Twice. Reason: 
"Unacceptable site content - Your website must contain substantial, original content."


So confusing this brave new world of internet freedom is.

Salman Rushdie at the Jaipur Lit Fest

Fans and Avid Readers!!!!!!

No, this post is NOT about Salman Rushdie and his presence or lack thereof at the Jaipur Lit Fest. If you came here hoping to read my esteemed views on this subject based on the informative title of my post then all I can say to you is  - Don't believe everything you read on the internet. 

Now I am going to tell you the reason why I cannot bear to attend the Jaipur Lit Fest.

It will be too crowded with people both you and I may know. Too many common friends at a celebrity event = too much fake air kissing = noise pollution.

That's it.

responsibility

1. A person you love dies
2. A person you love goes into coma
3. You don't have the time to recover because you realise that if anything else happens right now to anyone else you love, you just don't have the money to save their lives
4. So you just put on your best plastic face and air kiss the world

Oprah in India

One of the first sights she chose to see was Baby B. See? So much culture, heritage, etc etc this country has to offer.
