  • Where is My Music?

    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 such… Continue reading

  • Let Us Get Our Act together

    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 by… Continue reading

  • The Subtle and Cruel Reminders

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

  • Fight Club- An All Time Classic

          I first watched Fight Club in 2011 on a train journey from Ajmer to New Delhi. After the journey, I was having severe headache- part from the hospitality of Indian Railways and part from the movie. What the hell did I just see? The way it started and the point where it… Continue reading

  • Society- Why So Serious?

    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 gang… Continue reading

  • Come on India–Let’s Football

    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

    Have you ever heard of a game called “Football Manager”? No? No problem, read on. It is a football management simulation game where you, as a player, take over the reign of a football club (virtually any club in the world football, thanks to their huge database and intensive research), build your own team and… Continue reading

  • Glenn Maxwell and India- It Is Awesome

    One has to say, Kings XI Punjab has been a true revelation in this year’s IPL. Even with the well planned team that they bought in the auction in Feb 2014, very few expected them to dominate the points table. And now, when we are at the business end of the 7 th IPL season,… Continue reading
