Everybody has a taste in music. Some like English pop, some are Bollywood fans and some worship everything what Honey Singh and Baadshah serves them. Nothing personal here fellas, but yes, rap sucks. Although I try to keep hearing latest Bollywood songs; I don’t like them much. I am not a music buff as suchContinue reading “Where is My Music?”

I am a 1990s kid. And 1990s was a good time for the adults of my age. We were between 12-15 years of age, in school. The days used to start with getting up early, running to school, homework and cricket in evening and back to bed. Occasional scolding by mothers and regular discipline byContinue reading “Let Us Get Our Act together”

Nothing to do with the post but it is funny.  Around three years ago, I wrote about how proud I was being a sportsperson.

So, I’ll rephrase it. Let us start all over again. *cracked knuckles*Continue reading “An Open Letter to Arnab Goswami”

Ever heard of Hindu Mahasabha before they announced that they are gearing up for couples’ Valentine’s Day celebrations and would get them married forcibly? Probably not. Actually these people are so busy in saving and preserving the Indian tradition that they prefer to keep a low profile. Such low profile that even when brutal gangContinue reading “Society- Why So Serious?”

  My first encounter with Chetan Bhagat’s writings was in mid 2006 when I accidentally found “One Night @ The Call Centre” in one of my friend’s room. At that time, I did not know who Chetan Bhagat was, his illustrative IIT & IIM background and the fact that this was his second book. IContinue reading “Chetan Bhagat- The Rise and The Fall”

India’s population- 125 crores. FIFA World rank- 158 Iceland population- 300,000. FIFA World Rank- 34 Yes, that is the difference between the quality of the game in two countries. Our country does not have 11 players who can compete at World Stage. Iceland (and many other African and Caribbean countries) is a force to reckon with,Continue reading “Come on India–Let’s Football”
