Improve your Vocabulary
Stopping at an unknown word while reading something is common to all of us. Some of us let it go and don't ponder over it. But that's something I couldn't do, and shouldn't even do. Words, after all, are a writer's bread and butter. Hence, my lack of knowledge about quite a few words was getting increasingly frustrating. To overcome this problem, I... more...

Tashan Ve
It was a good thing that Tashan didn’t release in multiplexes. A hell of a lot of money was saved with cinema goers not having to fork out 150 bucks per ticket.Single-screen theatres were expected to do good business thanks to the movie not releasing in multiplexes, but with lacklustre reviews coming in from all corners, no one really went to a sin... more...

Sex v/s Clothes
What would you rather have? Sex? Clothes? Or mobiles? Well, if you are an English lady then you would prefer mobiles. If you are an American babe you would prefer clothes. And if you are an Indian girl, you would prefer sex. These are the findings of a couple of US and England studies and I don’t care if they are true or not, I am just happy that I... more...

Remembering 2006
As one year draws to an end and the next comes upon us, it becomes almost fashionable for any self-acclaiming writer to list down the things she (or he) remembers the past year by.  In similar fashion, here goes my A-Z list… Australia vs. Africa – The date: 12/03/06. The stage: The Wanderers, Johannesburg. A match of a lifetime. South Africa, ridin... more...

Worth of the Written Word
The worth of the written word is in question. Does anyone read anything anymore? No, is what people say.Too busy, too tired, too preoccupied, reading is a waste of time.Is it really? Me thinks not.When people say who cares what’s written, no one ever bothers to read it; it burns me up.Not because I feel unappreciated, but because they are wrong.Wha... more...

A Tribute to Chain E-mails
We keep getting forwards in our e-mail everyday. Some are good, some are bad and some are pathetic. But you can live with them all. But what really spoils a good e-mail and further ruins an already bad one, is the chain effect.  If you don’t forward this…. Blah blah blah… Well, on the same route… If you don’t read my blog, immense bad luck will fal... more...

Ads That Seduced Me!
This July marks the beginning of my 3rd year as a copywriter. A career, which is almost serendipity, began because I wanted to do something ‘cool’. But thankfully, with a lot of hard work and some amount of luck, I have reached a stage that I am really proud of. I now know for a fact that choosing the field of advertising to make a career in was th... more...

Gaga Over Girls
I liked it when I was a kid. Ofcourse, at that time, I wanted to grow up as fast as possible so that I could drive my dad’s car, get a taste of alcohol, smoke a cigarette, think about girls that way, grow a beard to shave off, and in general, do everything that I was supposedly too young to do.  But now that I have grown up, I wish I could be a kid... more...

Eat to Kill
The nation is gripped in the clutches of obesity and I, somehow, seem to be conveniently left out of it. Not that I want to be fat, but not even as thin as I currently am, or rather have been for my entire life. 25 years without being even the slightest bit of a burden on the earth has gotten me thinking – will the time ever come when I will be one... more...
