Back when I was in school, maybe 5th standard, the teachers were always trying to “Develop My Personality”. For some reason, they believed that everyone should be an “all-rounder”, and my complete lack of mastery in even one of their standard fields (marks-scoring, drawing and a bunch of other inconsequential fields) must have been...
Q: My room mate is very dirty and lazy. He doesn’t do any work around the place and just contributes to making it dirtier and smellier. He’s so lazy that I don’t know what to do. How do I get him to be a little more clean? - RC A: You have the wrong...
This is part 2 of a series. First part is below Saturday morning is here, and I’ve calmed down dramatically since my mouth accidentally promised to go to the GYM on Saturday morning. I’ve managed to convince my soul, my brain and all my other schizophrenic voices in my head that it isn’t going...
Regular readers will know that I’ve been desperately trying to avoid watching movies. My several previous plans (plan 1, plan 2, plan 3) have not been very successful, and even my writing harsh reviews (Race, Saawariya, Om Shanti Om) have not done anything.

The Universe behaves in very mysterious ways, and Women even more so. There are several things I don’t understand about this world – Theoretical particle physics, Aristotle’s Philosophy and why women buy so many shoes. I’ve researched the problem extensively, and I’ve developed my own explanation to understand the freakiest of all phenomenon –...
I drive through the silent darkness, all alone, If I don’t see you in time, I’ll surely break a bone! God knows what was in the mind of your maker, All hail thee, You are the mighty Speed Breaker! Unmoving on the road, you lay in your slumber, 10-to-1, even the mighty buffaloes you...
I’ve seen a lot of bad movies, and you can all believe me when I say I’m a bad movie expert. And this movie “Race”, is the best of them all. In the worst possible way. Race is not one bad movie. It is many bad movies all rolled into one. This movie has...
You folks will remember that the wife and I were hunting for sofas a while ago and it was a horrendous experience, but we finally managed to agree on one particular sofa, and we bought it. The thing is sitting in our living room now, and the wife is very fond of it, and...
Back in college, I knew this fellow called Dabhishek. What he was doing in an engineering course was beyond me, and in many ways it was beyond him too. He was very absent minded, but equally determined to get through Engineering, even though I suspect he didn’t really care so much about computer science....
