How to screw up Goa – step by step.

Posted on 18 March 2008

It seems the Scarlett Keeling rape and murder is finally having an impact on Goa. Goans, cops, politicians and even the tourists and learning some lessons for sure. Unfortunately, most of those lessons are wrong.
I am going to start this at the beginning – so if you are impatient, or possess a high IQ which [...]

Driving in Delhi – a month of living on the edge

Posted on 17 March 2008

So I have had my Honda Civic for a month and a half now. In Delhi.
Surviving? Yes.
Driving in Delhi makes you want to blog. For those of you who have the writer’s block, go ahead and drive in Delhi. There is no way you can resist the temptation to blog if you do.
What most of [...]

Important question: Are there more idiots in Delhi than other cities?

Posted on 13 November 2007

Come on, how can anyone say that!
That’s what you want to tell me. I know. But what if it really is the truth?
I find myself considering this possibility every time I read about the everyday crimes in Delhi. Today morning, the same news story was splashed across every paper – brother and sister beaten up [...]

Eat, drink and be merry, says Rahul Gandhi to congressmen

Posted on 12 November 2007

And I agree with him for once.
The great young hope of Congress has been pretty unremarkable so far. General Secretary, and before that the face of Congress in UP, nothing much worked in any substantial way.

Wish I could do something like this on Indian streets! Though we do not have anything as well-known as a Darth Vader, I think…

Do we lose in cricket because we don’t have the stamina?

Posted on 21 October 2007

Possible?
I don’t know yaar, but maybe that is the case. Perhaps we Indians do not have it in our physical makeup to play a 50-overs match.
After all, we have been hearing about the Indian team’s fitness levels for a very long time, and especially about the seniors’.
I remember one story from John Wright’s book Indian [...]

Lakshmi chachi’s underwear ad!

Posted on 20 October 2007

Please not to mistake, dear. Not Lakshmi chachi’s underwear – its an ad featuring Reema Lagoo, in the avatar of Lakshmi chachi, promoting a brand of panties with superstrong elastic! Yes! Never buy panties from the streets! A lesson for everyone here.

Smart young software guy drives along a road in Noida. Attempts to pass a Scorpio. The Scorpio blocks his way. Four guys step out, smiling. They have to tell something to the software guy. Before he can say “Wha..?!” he is thrashed black and blue.

Baal baal bach gaye!

Posted on 01 October 2007

What else is there to say! I am talking about the India-Australia ODI in Bangalore which was washed out. Call it a washout, miracle, luck – Dhoni is really one lucky captain.
Poor Ponting. He was  remarkably pissed after Australia lost to India in the T20 semi-finals. I am sure the rest of the Aussies wanted [...]

Panty Conjunctivitis in Mumbai, Notorious B.R.A in Delhi

Posted on 24 September 2007

Go to any mall. Ogle as you always do. Malls not only offer a wide range of shopping and feeding experiences, but also ogle experiences. The oglers and oglees are critical contributors to the malls’ business model.
So while you are peacefully going about your natural business or ogling, you notice you are surrounded by enemy [...]
