After my previous encounter over negotiating household chores went down the drain, I was thinking of new ways to try and get out of the drudgery. I really really hate cleaning the table after dinner, and I was summoning all my creative forces to help me on this one. After cleaning the dining table...
“You don’t do any work around the house!” the wife said, making no effort to hide her obvious displeasure. A conversation that starts like this is rarely going to end agreeably, and at some level, I already knew that. But my consciousness thought it could squirm out of this one too, just as it...
Although during the last month, I was not writing about my usual misadventures with life, that does not mean that I was not suffering the various tragedies of life that so predictably come by my way. Yes, that means that I watched several movies during this period. One of the movies that I watched...
I am alive. I’ll bet a lot of you folks were getting worried that I had returned to my home planet and left you earthlings alone with the curse of global warming. But I’m not that kind of person, and I’m not going to rest until I solve this Global Warming thing once and...
I get back from work one day and notice that the wife is in a very good mood. She’s singing and all, and generally in a happy mood. This instinctively puts me on the defensive, I smell a trap. But even after some time, when I don’t get assigned to cut tomatoes, I’m begin...

A friend of mine works at this cool company that’s created this new social networking thing. Its called LifeBlob, and a part of it shows what’s called your “Timeline”. Its basically a history of stuff that happened to you it uses that to link up people. Its pretty cool actually, but that’s not the...
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...
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...
