Growing Out Of Love

Growing Out Of Love

  Do not judge me for my repetitive rhymes; For I have suffered enough judgements in  recent times. When the result of expectations is a marred reality; Even the best of bards lose their clarity. Growing out of love  is a phrase overrated; For the action is glorified and the emotion understated. The emotion you […]

In Custody: Stylishly

In Custody: Stylishly

And so we decided to spend the weekend trekking. “You guys are so planned and organized. It is so boring! Why can’t you be spontaneous?” my daughter had cribbed.

Firing A Blank

Editor’s note: Proceed with caution..spoilers ahead! I had the good fortune of investing three hours of my hitherto worthless life in edifying myself when friends propelled me to a show of Gunday. I learnt that the Indian Police is so diabolically clever that they can lay an intricately plotted conspiracy to rival the best of Ludlums and John […]

Switzerland!

Tulfes is the most beautiful village I have ever seen. There are flowers everywhere, fat cats clean their whiskers on wood benches; apricot trees (yes trees) clamber up house walls; goats graze in fenced enclosures, horses neigh under trees, a beautiful church with paintings on stone walls stands sleepily at the corner and there is […]

Drive To Axalp

Drive To Axalp

We hire a nine seater from Hertz at the airport the next day for the staggering figure of Rs 90,000 a week. It was much cheaper when we had checked from India but we didn’t book then and now it’s too late for regrets. The guys flash their newly acquired International driving licenses (Rs 500 […]
