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. Things were getting desperate for me when it seemed inevitable that...
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....
Something very interesting happened to me today. I got up at 5:15 AM in the morning! I know what you’re thinking! You’re thinking – “Hey Aditya, What are you doing up at midnight?“.

Her theory is that watching movies together helps us “connect and rejuvenate” our relationship, but the only thing I’m connecting with while...
We spent that day very gloomy, with the prospect of a confrontation with the Principal looming large on our heads because we had lesser than the required 75% attendance in one subject. An encounter with the principal was not going to be a...
Chitradeep seemed rather tensed as he walked into class that day. He is usually a very cheerful person, to the point of being annoyingly cheerful, so if he was feeling down, it usually meant something was wrong. He came down and sat next to me. It was still the first class of the morning,...
This is part 2 of a series. Part 1 is here. I’m sitting in a fancy restaurant with some exotic italian dish in front of me. Not only does this “exotic italian dish” look like a bar of RIN soap, but it also smells like one. The problem, as always, is my big mouth....
