Buffalo at #PriceRiseRally eats up dice thrown by Shakuni after wrongly hearing “chaar” as “chaara”. Denies its name is Lalu 3. Ms. Roy at #PriceRiseRally scratches private parts vigorously. […]

Spinning Yarns to Make Undies on TV


—–1. The author asserts that all the incidents described in what follows are completely true. There is no question of any incidental resemblance with any person alive, moribund or dead as the author himself had witnessed the events described this Sunday (February 28, 2010) on the eve of Holi (click) after consuming bhang (click), which […]

Time-warped Timeless Bollywood Lines!


I had originally posted the following as a comment elsewhere: —–1. “Yeh duniya, yeh mehfil tere kaam ki nahin” … [dhishkaaon] —–2. “Tere liye bandook nahin, mere haath hi kaafi hain, machhar”! [dhishum] oops… [fataaak] – splattered erstwhile human, but now mosquito blood on the wall. —–3. “Main is baar tumhaare bachche ki maan banane […]

God only knows!


“Everything happens for a reason – we humans cannot know that reason. God operates in mysterious ways, and only God knows the reasons behind all the apparent unfairness in this World.

Also, considering the circumstances, and being a doctor, many […]

Fine balance between lack of creativity and its excess. [Highly allegorical post!!]


I had always felt that our education does not promote original thinking, which is very detrimental to nation’s progress, as without it research can never be carried out! A very simple reason so many students fail exams is because they copy their neighboring candidate’s answers verbatim. If teachers would only teach adequate language skills, then […]

iBubble. The Perfect Sphere. The Perfect Hollow.


Sometimes I understand others in terms of how they are similar to me. Other times I understand them in terms of how they are different from me. There is no other way to understand others. Comparisons are imminent. If I understand myself, still I might not understand someone else correctly, for some contamination of data […]

The Monkey who sold his Fur, and became an entrepreneur <— [rhyme alert]!


I stumbled upon a very detailed transcript of interview of Madhu Koda (click), the just 38 year-old, multi-millionaire entrepreneur, who has added unheard of dimensions to the art of portfolio management.
