It’s Probably For The Best….
Life offers up platitudes GALORE. Some are self-generated and the others are ladled out by well-intentioned albeit unoriginal people. But platitudes, clichés whatever we choose to term them, do serve a purpose. The first time I saw this scene in Victor Victoria, it struck me for a reason I wasn't able to define or even...

Moving On…
I've lived in quite a few places. Changed houses, states, countries and a continent in the process. But the longest I'd lived anywhere till date was the first place Red and I bought after we got married. It wasn't that much of a well-thought out decision. We didn't factor in any green space close by,... Continue Reading →
Realizations: Gym Diaries
For all the smart alecky stuff I've written about my gym experiences, one thing stands out sharply in my mind; people have no business not being healthy!!

Book Review- Fowl Language
This book speaks for itself. It's non-preachy and basically talks about the incomprehensible, inexplicable turns a person's life takes once they become a parent. From juice boxes to joy, partying to poop and basically the utter, utter delight and nerve-wracking situation that is parenthood.
