Vicky Kapoor to his father, ‘Agar aulad akalmand hai to uske liye daulat ikattha karne ki kya jaroorat hai? Aur agar aulad nalayak hai to uske liye daulat ikattha karne ka kya faayda? (If progeny is intelligent, then what’s the need for amassing wealth for it? And if progeny is good for nothing then what’s [...]

A thing to moan about
People moan when they are hurt. They do so again when they are ecstatic. Imagine a love making scene with Mozart playing in the background. The scene progresses to murder on the bed with Mozart still playing in the background. Stabs abound, flesh blurs, blood gushes, lust overpowers, moans reach a crescendo. Looking at the [...]

Trafficking woes
If you’ve ever been to the city of Hyderabad, the first thing that you’ll probably notice, of course if you are not much interested in pot bellied bearded guys who should instead be having massive mid life crises posing on the mural-like posters, is the crazy traffic. India in general and big cities in particular [...]

Heartlessness
It’s always difficult to return to an empty house. It’s more difficult to acknowledge an empty heart. And over time, one finds it difficult to conclude which, house or heart, is emptier. One continues referring to one’s residence as house rather than home and since they say ‘heart is where home is’, one becomes painfully [...]

When I’d lodged a complaint against the Secunderabad division postal authorities, little had I expected to be responded to by mail. A registered post that too.

In the movie The Great Debaters, there’s a scene in which the characters of Forest Whitaker and Denzel Washington while sipping wine, debate on the political views of God. One of them opines that Jesus was a communist. He vindicates his observation by ‘Well, you see, he certainly was no capitalist.’
Now, if Jesus was a [...]

The Lovesongs
What is it about love songs anyway,
getting written by the dozen, all hours of the day,
late in the night and during those hours too,
when men like me might find it conducive for an easy unplanned gibbernaut.
And being bombarded by the mushy lines,

An innocent Dr. Mathur, played by the righteous Parikshit Sahni, being heckled by a tyrannical Thakraal sa’ab, played by the unparalleled Amrish Puri, in Meri Jung, shouts in despair, ‘What nonsense is this?’
The seasoned black gown Thakraal says with an evil grin, ‘This is that…’ and after a dramatic pause continues ‘… and that is [...]
