It rained.
There are somethings in life that bring out the child in everybody. Those wonderful years when you were young and restless come back to you in bits and pieces. Of course you never remember the event in entirity, only little parts can be remembered. The rain drops hitting the skin feels the same, it was the same ages ago when I was in Chittaranjan. ... more...

A pot full of coins.
There were so many coins lying around that something had to finally give. There were coin's everywhere, in the bathroom, below the mattress, some had found their way below the sink. I dare say some had already found a place in my house owners pocket as well. The coins ruled the roost. The only place they were not to be found was inside my wallet.So... more...

low rise jeans and property valuation
I hate to admit, but it seems that I am slowly but surely turning into a bummer. Now I dont think that there is any such word in the english dictionary, so let me  make things easier for all and sundry. A bummer is a person who loves a derrire any time of the day. Many of you women would classify me along with the normal pervert, a social psycopath... more...

The journey back home
The more I travel the more I get to know myself. If given an opportunity I would readily exchange my unearthly work hours with a life of a nomad.Of course that is not possible, taking into consideration my financial status which is nothing to crow about. Maybe later, when I have some money in the bank I will take a year off and go train spotting. A... more...

To tell you honestly there is no fun in dragging your weary ass day in and day out to the office, I mean whats the fun in being the perfect employee. Of course you would have one unhappy boss at the end of the day, but honestly bosses are human and they understand, most of the times. There are two ways you can get yourself a holiday.

something more about everybody
The best part of working at @#$ is that you get free rides home. After slogging throughout the day, eight hours of gravity defying and soul breaking work the only compensation you get is the ride back home. Ok, I do get the salary and bonuses and stuff but that comes only twelve times in a year. So you can understand that it is too less and too far... more...

Back with a whimper
Its been ages since i wrote anything. I mean my blog must have atrophied, shrivelled into one of those little bits of inconsequential information. So lets put matters right and blow some damned life into the blasted thing. Of course it would be of no consequence as usual. Let men of greater intellect dvelve into serious things in life.

The guy with the air guitar
     'Hey! The hoops look good on you where do you buy them', I couldn’t help asking her. The hoops danced mischievously, brown hoops the size of bangles. She even wore bangles of the same color. She nodded her head and asked,' why do you want to know'. Just asking, maybe I got a girlfriend hidden away somewhere'. She got several hoops. On Mondays ... more...

A night with bacchus
  The four of us took a swig from our respective glasses. The whiskey tasted liked yesterdays fish twice rotten. The chicken was good, made to perfection. There were three kilos of it. There was enough food to feed a battalion. The music blared from the cell phone but nobody was interested in the music. There were more important things to do.As the... more...

Kerala house
Kerala hotel is a little hotel by the road. The road is dusty and broken; it has no pretensions of being a road. Those days are long gone. In its place lie the ruins of a road. The dust twirls and floats in the atmosphere. The vehicles will not let it settle and every time it tries to settle down, a vehicles runs over it scattering it in all direct... more...
