Right after people get their first jobs and start making money, they go through this phase I call the “Batman Phase”. Basically, people start to think they are playboy millionaires, and start to wonder what they can do with all this extra cash that they have lying around. How people spend that cash is...
I have a friend who recently got engaged. I did send him my deepest condolences, but he would have none of it, because he was delusional with happiness. This delusion can often be very dangerous. I tried to warn him, but it turns out that I was too late, as he had made an...
I don’t understand the way Maths is taught in schools. My teachers always tried to teach maths like it is some dry alien subject. Here’s a typical question from a Maths text book: If Rahul has 20 mangoes and then he eats 10 of them and borrows 4 more and eats them too, then...
Back when I was a kid, I used to love to play cricket. It was awesome fun, but the cricket ground was too far, so we used to play in the street. Our street was a small one, with houses on either side. This meant that most of the playing area was in front...
One of my many hobbies is to invent new conspiracy theories, and I’ve got a great one for you today.

Getting married is a wonderful and beautiful thing etc… etc…, but the actual process of getting married is quite stressful. I’m talking about all the pre-wedding shopping, the 3-days of rituals, stresses and fake smiles. Shaking hands with hundreds of people, each of whom squeeze the wedding ring into your fingers causing them to...
As is evident to anyone who’s read this blog, I’m risking my life writing about all the things that I do. I mean, Chitradeep Chetty, Drinivas, The Wife and lots of characters in this blog (who may or may not bear resemblance to real people) have a grunge to settle against me. Further complicating...
