| Our Prime Minister and his weaknesses, corruption and even rape seemed to have taken a back seat, because Times Of India reported some ghastly murders today. A drug-addict killed his neighbour doubting that he stole his mobile. A husband killed … Continue reading →... |
| ‘You’re not a Mumbaikar. I am.’ said the girl to me, with more than a hint of pride. Since I live in Navi Mumbai and she wasn’t wrong, I agreed with her. Both technically and not, I’m not a Mumbaikar. … Continue reading →... |

| There are some things in our life which are omnipresent. They are forever in our thoughts, even when we don’t know. My blog is one such thing for me. I haven’t written seriously since a long time but there hasn’t … Continue reading →... |
| RIP. The Resurgent Indian Patriots. The new and improved full form of an old acronym immediately caught my fancy and I just had to review this book. I’d heard a lot about the author but sadly never read any of … Continue reading →... |
