Google Kills

Sometimes I wonder if people consulted Google before asking others something IRL, 99% of the conversations won't happen at all.  Thank Heavens for tech-'un'savvy friends! 

And Karma had to be a b*tch

How screwed up the world actually is! If you're nice, people are gonna be a j*rk to you. And when you become a classic case of being a j*rk, they start being nice to you.  No wonder there is no Karma, or if there is, it is a b*tch (Well she has to be one to make guys take her seriously).  Practising my people slaying skills on a sunny Sunday *blows a raspberry*

To the Tailors of Tolerance

Hey my Christmassy Baubles! How are you hanging in there? I hope everybody is excited about the cold - the sunny days, chilly evenings and fast-approaching Christmas - just like me. At least I am head over heels excited about it (watching Xmas DIYs and ordering wintry candles online). But the seasonal fever apart (or not apart maybe), this blog post is about the raging spicy debate of intolerance, that's enough to spice up any smoking pumpkin latte (or espresso for the corpo honchos). The newspapers are full of people returning awards to protest, people protesting against the return of awards, people being intolerant about other people thinking that the nation is becoming more intolerant and dropping being the director of movie festivals and then other people using the act against them to prove their point of intolerance by the intolerant reactions of the person against their expression of intolerance (*slow nodding of head with my half-moon shaped glasses on the tip of my...

Carrying on with Cars!

Hi my friends (The ones from Delhi and owning a Car may take a glass of water before starting reading this one - just a Disclaimer ;-> ) I am sure the illuminati out of you would be following the current news articles blaring out loud regarding the worsening quality of air in Delhi due to pollution. The PM2.5 and PM10 pollution levels are even bypassing the 'severe' mark, and the pollution levels are at 7X of what they were two months ago!! Such extreme levels of pollution is going to inflict irrevocable damage to the lungs of the inhabitants. (But I won't blame Delhiites - I think they really misunderstood the criteria of Delhi competing with Beijing *wink wink*) But the lovely occupants of this resilient city were not moved by such studies and stats. What jolted them out of their sleep today was the announcement by the CM of the state to allow vehicles on roads only on alternate days to curb the pollution. I see all kinds of angry responses and retorts on th...

The Unfair-Fairness Conundrum

Hey my apple-pies If you're in India, I'm sure that at some point of time, you might have felt inundated with numerous ads of fairness creams and facewashes. We keep on harping about the equality and abolition of racism in Indian society, but the hard truth is that we are still obsessed with the white skin. Or that's what I used to think till WhatsApp launched emoticons representing different skin colors in an update, giving an innuendo to its racist inclinations. So we trained all our guns at Whatsapp instead of our Society of hypocrites. But today, first time in my life, I saw two wrongs making a right, when a dusky friend of mine sent me a thumbs-up emoticon on WhatsApp in a darker skin color, being realistic about and proud of what he is, rather than hiding it under skin abrading and cancer causing fairness creams and misleading white skinned smileys. And this trend has been on since the launch of "colored" emoticons of Whatsapp. It's like peopl...

From Pique to Peace

Hey lovely people How are you all doing? Any news? No news? Well that does mean good news, because no news is good news *wink wink* But these days, we have even stopped talking about bad news. Sometimes out of insecurity, other times out of the fear of being laughed at. In my case too, I would hide any bad happening in my life whenever I can, just for the (innocent) pleasure of snatching that victorious smirk, that flutters for a second, on the ill facades of "well wishers" when they get to know about your bad times. Haha! Who needs paying for spiritual motivational classes (synonym - phony religious ashrams) after this. I already let out their trade secret - be the smug jerk, who though may be having a terrible break up or suffering a boring marriage, who might be in debt upto his eyes, or might be flunking all the college subjects, but would still rub the face of the world in dirt by telling them about his contentment and newfound bliss, new diet or regime a...

Too many lives : Revenge Idea # 2

Enigma is running really frustrated these days. And trust me, she is like Chandler Bing - The more frustrated, the funnier she gets. So here I (enough of the 3rd person mania) come with the idea of revanche # 2. Let's be generous this time and shower our attention equally on all our "friends". 1. Go to Google Play Store. 2. Download 'Candy Crush' (I know this game is for ninnies and unemployed and housewives, but just go with it. Trust me I won't let your data bits go waste. Pinky promise) Here comes the fun part. 3. Open the app and log in to your Facebook account. Well if you're lucky enough to be having ignorant mothers or dads who trusted you with your Facebook password, now is the time - login from their account. I'm sure the devil inside you must be grinning with joy now so go ahead with the next step. 4. Play each stage and send invites to all the "friends" out there. Don't leave a soul out. Have a big hear...
