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!

Train to Benaras and my Kershaw Blur knife!


Alternate title:- हरी-भरी ग़लतफ़हमियों के उज्जाड़ जंगल में जीने का अपना ही मज़ा है! On a most heartily extended invitation by Shri Amulya Ji, I decided to visit him in Varanasi, pretty impulsively. The Vande Bharat train is excellent except of the shitty toilets that #UsIndians specialize in making out of the most well kept […]

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 […]

Perpetual “miserability”!


Is being generally miserable and perpetually offended a prerequisite of being a “””strong and independent””” woman of “””this type”””? This is the world we are going to die in! Where #InventedOutrage is a valid way of life and is celebrated! Trying to figure out why the lady from Mythbusters is so annoyed about a guy […]

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 […]

Warmer after a snowfall!

Encounter at 3 AM.


A mongoose killed our 50 chickens and we cleaned them all to distribute to willing villagers.Hurt my heart to skin the Desi murgi with all that delicious fat but time was short. Tired, we discarded all the wings and feathers and all the shit-filled throat-sacs in a pit near our kitchen, 20 metres from my […]

गुड़िया की फ्रोक!


I was quite indigent for quite some time. So was, in a manner of speaking, he. He got a windfall of about 20,000 Rupees. After paying off his local debts, including 800 to the chaiwala, he was left with 1200. He went and paid the entire amount against my phone bill. I complained that the bill […]

A woman’s age!


Morning visitor. HathniKund rest house. He asked your age. I was having my mattar mushroom fried. You told him. He commented. “मैडम, आपके बदन को देख कर तो नहीं लगता कि आप की age इतनी है!” I choked!!! We laughed. He left.

बसस्टॉप पर जादू वाली चाय मिलती है!


बसस्टॉप पर जादू वाली चाय मिलती है! इन्तज़ार करते रहो एक घंटा, बस नहीं आएगी। कप में चाय डलते ही, बस! तीसरी बार आज हुआ। चतुराई दिखाते हुए, आते ही चाय बोल दी। कप के हाथ मे आते ही बस भी आ गई! आज सोचा, चाय फैकूंगा नहीं। चाय समेत चढ़ने की जद्दोजहद में, लैपटॉप […]

Ashar and I!


It was love at first sight! I met him in 1979 and we became best of friends. In 1981, he changed the school and I raised my tantrums to be shifted. I was, as usual! 1982 end, I was admitted in The Daly College, whined about the hostel life and returned to Delhi in 1984. […]

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 […]

Puff the Magic Dragon


Puff the Magic Dragon This song *NEVER* fails to bring that odd-childish tear in my tired old eyes. So much so, I refrain from listening to this song in public! Now the question that bothers me for QUITE a few years (Since Denali Training.), off and on, is:  who am I?

High Time?


Yesterday I went to the marriage and later reception of Jaideep, son of Gursharan Uncle. I met many of my Father’s old friends and was especially impressed by the unforgettable social skills of Raman Saluja and his devoted wife. Had two large ones of Smirnoff Vanilla on both occasions. Came home and slept. Now come […]

Another Sleepless Night.


Yet another sleepless night. It is 6 AM now. Unless I knock myself out, sleep does not endorse/embrace me in my present condition! And knocking myself out is something I am trying OH so hardly hard, not to do. For how long? I would really love to know. For how long?


Happiness… … …is being with YOU… …

Still Blank…


There is quite a lot that has happened over these few months and might even be written over here and shared. Especially about my coming to Aapdo Aamdabad (Our Ahmedabad) and the various experiences. However, whenever I sit with this page in front of me, I get BLANK. Today, again the same happened. For how long, […]

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.

My Latest Original Theory.No Questions shall be entertained!


In order to get chickens you have to HATCH the eggs and not break them. However, to make an OMLETTE, you need to break the eggs … Also, Eggs once Broken and Words once squeaken cannot be done anything about. So now …

Last night reminded me of the night when I heard the news about Mr. Rajiv Gandhi! The feeling was just-so the same! The anger, the helplessness and the futility of it all… I *do* mind this scheme of things. Ra.

Envy, Jealousy & Love :: Marriage, Not Natural, Invented Institution


This is something that I have to post here… So very INTERESTING…  And today is Friday the Thirteenth… What is jealousy? Jealousy is one of the most prevalent areas of psychological ignorance about yourself, about others and more particularly, about relationship. People think they know what love is — they do not know. And their […]

Choosy Beggar…


She was dressed in inexpensive *designer-types* salwaar-kameez with a jhola to boot! Looked like one of those social-cause waali Feminist AuntyJi. We were in our car at AIIMS crossing. That was the time when there was a Red-Light there. (I wonder why we do not call it Green-Light???) “Hi Guys! How are doing today? Now, […]
