Mr. Big – To Be With You 4K Video


25 years ago, this was MY song-to-go! Played on guitar by Dr. Navven Kotwal amd keyboards by me. Now, at 47, this sounds the MOST PATHETIC song, E.V.E.R.! How times and people change! #UsSelfishBeings!

2 AM!


“In Chinese medicine, 2am is the most active time in the body for your liver. Its job is to process any toxins within the body and to make new cells.If you are waking at 2am, spiritually this could mean that you are not letting yourself process things that no longer serve you, like anxiety or […]

First ever attempt at shallow-frying of such a thingy! Let’s see! https://therecipecritic.com/chicken-patties/ Anuj Kushwaha made this, surreptitiously and blocked all my plans to fry!

Melatonin and my dream.


The grandchildren were my great buddies and we played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout on 6 HUGE PCs. The son, “H” called me “Rahul BhaiyaJee” and I was a great counselor to his sibling, “A”, as well. I physically beat up their father due to his very sick and bad behaviour towards others on 3 separate occasions […]

Late. Mr. Ata-ul Ghaffar!


An अंकिलजी since 1979; an inspiration since 1991; CLL fighter since 1996 a friend since 2001. Mr. Ataul Ghaffar is being sorely missed! Everyday! Every moment reminds of his overwhelming presence with his attention to AND persistent follow-up of the minutest detail! Bhopal is my The-Mandatory-Stop when crossing equator of India. Sometimes, due to exigencies […]

Words make the world go ROUND!


Words from Soumya . “Honest is the first word that comes to my mind when I think of Rahul. It was a true pleasure training him because of his keen interest in the training. It didn’t seem like he was sitting there because he was paid to do so. He actually wanted to learn. That […]

My pathetic response to a common email.


My Dearest Ajay. Here is a small ABSOLUTELY TRUE INCIDENT for you and all others like you who must have received a lot of BlackBerries (I LOVE Strawberries) and Windows Tablets (I only need Prozac and Viagra) and the $ 490,088,069 that I left with my Nigerian extra-virgin 19 year old wife before getting killed […]

To My Friends…


This one goes to my most dear best-est friends who, presently, are going out of their way to placate and appease me, on these very frustrating and saddening days.

R&R Love ???


  “””In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love, you want the other person….Margaret Anderson.””” I read this prettily-bloddy crappy quote in last Sunday’s Times of India. HOWEVER, IT HAD THIS STRANGE EFFECT ON ME!I AM Shouting… It changed me overnight… The Daroo helped, I admit, to think clearly deeper. The […]

How I Spent My Sunday….


Technically and CommonSensically (Also Egomaniacally), I consider only 4 matches. My Father (Glori ), My God Father, Umesh (My Old Cook) and Tanveer. Tanveer was checking out my Pistol and then commented on the “hardness” of the Trigger. I told him that this was the factory default and “I have to live with it”… Not […]
