Chaos

‘Something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wings can cause a hurricane halfway around the world.’ – Chaos Theory.
Sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? But what is serves to say is that an action which might be inconsequential if viewed in itself, might be the precursor of much bigger things to come. Isn’t it the [...]

Tears of Shame

It’s more than 2 months now since terror found a new form in India. We were still ignorant of that form in other nations, and we (as always) chose to rest assured that terror will always strike in the  ”conventional” ways of bomb blasts and attacks on Indian Armed Forces in the valley.
So when the terrorists struck, [...]

To Cheer or not to Cheer

So the moral brigade is at it once again. Apparently, the cheerleaders are smudging the rich and sacred culture and the pure minds of innocent people, and it’s upto these saviours to protect the interests of their fellow Homo Sapiens. What frustrates me about this whole issue is the double standards of the agitators. We [...]

Match Fixing

All my friends who are girls ( notice the conscious avoidance of the word “girlfriend” ) are now 24 and above, and that makes them eligible for the ‘M’ event. So whenever we meet, the only topic they all love to discuss amongst themselves is groom hunting.
So what’s this ‘arranged marriage’ process? First [...]

Signs

A lot of Hollywood movies and novels talk about signs from God. You know, a certain event happens, an act or a moment of mysterious origins, and it’s interpreted as a sign that certain things need to be done, or actions need to be taken. I’m baffled. Does God really give us signs? I’m sure [...]

Echoes from the past…

‘to be a better person at what I do…learn a lot from my internship and market myself successfully in final interview…’
We have a community on orkut and there was a thread about new year resolutions for the year 2007. This was my new year resolution. As 2008 is setting in and I [...]

Mavericks…

I wrote earlier about how Bollywood cannot match up to the creativity and freshness of hollywood, try as we may. I am glad I was proved wrong, though I wish I am proved wrong like this more often. I say this because I saw ‘Taare Zammen Par’ yesterday. And I’d be a humanoid if I [...]

You may say that I’m a dreamer…but…

Lectures are always boring for me. I’m not blaming the profs or the course or the subject, but somehow my attention span falls short by just 70 minutes, of the 75 minutes of a lecture. So I let myself wander into distant lands, racing F1 cars, playing soccer championships, hiding in a dense shrubbery and [...]

Of God, e-mails, and destiny…

Got another one of those send-this-to-’n’-people-in-’t’-time-or-else mails and left me wondering for a moment. All the things in life that I couldn’t achieve, all that I’ve lost, all the bad luck that happened to me, was it because I never forwarded a simple email to the required number of people (or even worse, delete it) [...]

Cry me a river…

The Tear
by Lord George Gordon Byron
 
When Friendship or Love
Our sympathies move;
When Truth, in a glance, should appear,
The lips may beguile,
With a dimple or smile,
But the test of affection’s a Tear:
 
Too oft is a smile
But the hypocrite’s wile,
To mask detestation, or fear;
Give me the soft sigh,
Whilst the soultelling eye
Is dimm’d, for a time, with a Tear:
 
Mild [...]
