A Virtuo-Real Love Story
She could not quite wipe out the smile on her face. ‘Happy in my heart, Dil Dance Maare Re’, this silly song from the equally silly film Tashan kept playing over & over again in her head. He had said that he loved her, not the exact phrase, nor a romantic dialogue delivery more of an angry declaration. Yes! It sounded sweet indeed! Years of insecur... more...

Bumbling Boss-Part II
HH gradually started settling down. He insisted that we communicate with him via gtalk even if we were all just a few feet away. Keeping himself enclosed within his cool comfortable cabin, he painstakingly typed out instructions to all of us, lesser individuals. Soon, the office had people on tenterhooks as the junior techies were advised to distri... more...

Bumbling Boss-part I
You will soon be getting a new Boss, boomed my Big Boss, over the phone, all the way from the US of A.  But, I began in earnest, determined to be the argumentative Indian, when BB hung up on me. Grrr, I growled to myself as I rapidly spread the news around. Soon, the office hummed as its inmates tried to conjure up new ways of sucking up to the new... more...

Vanishing Act
Friends, Rediffans & Ilanders, I’m back. I had been away for a long time from this blogger’s  paradise and a few of my rediffmates had very kindly enquired about my whereabouts. This post is to reassure them that I am still alive and kicking. In the existing state of affairs it’s more of the latter than the former. After all I am a kind old soul an... more...

A walk in the Rain
Monsoons have arrived in Kerala, I informed my Mom. Time to get our monsoon gear ready. Oh it will take at least 3 days to reach us, my mother assured me, firmly convinced that the monsoon will be boarding the Howrah-Trivandrum Express. Thus assuaged, I went off to sleep with no rainy thoughts clouding my brain.   I lay, slumbering peacefully, lull... more...

Baggy Woes
The rise in petrol prices proved disastrous for the nation as the political parties went into an overdrive with protests, rallies, bandhs, hartals and what not. I looked happy as I bid a respectful adieu to my boss on Wednesday only to be warned that we have to keep the office fires burning on Saturday. My mood crashed with a thud as I yanked my ba... more...

Cup that Cheers
‘Drinking Coffee bad for health’, my eyes took in this informative bit of news as I sipped on my daily dose of caffeine. I turned over to other more interesting & happening news while my heart sang a defiant ‘kuch toh log kahenge, logo ka kaam hai kehna’. Come what may, I can never think of deserting my favourite beverage, not even in my wildest dr... more...

The Love Note
I counted the money I had in my purse and was astounded to find a lone Rs 10 peeping out shyly from its interiors. Oops! No cash handy, have to rush to my Lord Kubera, the lifesaving ATM.  I hop with impatience as I join the long queue in front of it.  Ah! Finally I’m there; I hurriedly withdraw the money and head home.  Safely home, cappuccino in ... more...

Of Birds & Bees
I returned home from office only to find my neighbor waiting impatiently for me. “Will you please help me?” she pleaded, almost in tears. I was visibly moved. Being the good neighbor, that I was, I generously agreed to do everything to help her. I regretted my decision instantly as I learnt that she wanted me to explain all about the birds & the be... more...

Food for Thought
‘Inflation stands at 7.5%’ screamed the headlines and the TV channels promptly went overboard displaying the pundits of economics shaking their heads and clucking their tongues, falling over themselves in trying to educate us, the common masses about the effects of inflation. Bah! I tell myself, who wants to listen to old men and their dreary tales... more...

40 WAYS MEN FAIL IN BED
1) NOT KISSING FIRST. Avoiding her lips and diving straight for the erogenous zones makes her feel like you're paying by the hour and trying to get your money's worth by cutting out nonessentials. A properly passionate kiss is the ultimate form of foreplay.2) BLOWING TOO HARD IN HER EAR. Admit it, some kid at school told you girls love this. Well, ...  more...
