I picked up the menu card. The first page said ‘For Gents’. A bit odd, but you never know with these upscale restaurants. “Can I have My Youth Back?” “A bit late for it, sir. We don’t serve it after 5 PM.” “How about My Fair Lady?” “Out of stock, sir. We don’t compromise on […]
So this guy walks into this pub. With swagger and all. Looks around. Three chicks drinking. None good enough for him. Goes straight to the bar. “The usual.” He says checking his watch. It’s 4:58 PM.

Before she died, she had one last look at the sky. She has been sleeping since then, only to keep waking in another dream. Now she found herself on an island with no trees and three crystals. The crystals were the shiniest she had ever seen. “Do you like them?” said a voice which came […]
I did this guest post here at Preeti’s blog last week. And then Atrisa has tagged me with honest scrap here. Thank you Atrisa :P. The post fits in well (since it’s of confessional nature) with the tag. So here goes : All Apologies: 1. Apologies Led Zeppelin, for using one of your songs in […]

Also attending the wedding were Satwik C-207 and Piyush C-208. The day after reception, Piyush, Satwik and I drove to Chilka Lake, about 100 Km from Bhubaneswar. […]

This is not a “proper” post, in a sense that it is being done just for the sake of discipline. Am working on something interesting (hopefully) which is taking time. However, I would hate to break the “at least one post per week” rule. Can’t let the weekend go dry. Be careful what you wish […]
“The Consultant”, read the board. An arrow mark on the board pointed to the first floor. One might mistake it to be an arrogant declaration of unchallenged supremacy.
