If I be the electron, will you the hole?
If I be the zero, will you the pole?
Will you be the quiescent point of my life’s operating range?
I could be your asymptote; or would that be strange?


Why tech journalism in India has a lulzy reputation

  • Smart Ass Pseudo Editor: All the news comes first on the Guardian Bit Blog. Everyone takes it from there.
  • Me: What is the "Guardian Bit Blog"?
  • SAPE: The technology blog of the Guardian.
  • Me: ... The technology blog... of The New York Times... is called The NYT Bits Blog. The technology blog of the Guardian is simply the Guardian Tech Blog.
  • SAPE: Oh.

Did your butt auto rest your phone?

Did your butt auto rest your phone?


  • Me: Let's have some chai.
  • SoBo Dude: I don't have chai.
  • Me: Coffee then?
  • SoBo Dude: Coffee makes me puke.
  • Me: Didn't you mention a few days ago that you are lactose intolerant?
  • SoBo Dude (touches his head): I am a very intolerant person.

Rendezvous with SoBo Dude

  • Me: I used to live in Bandra.
  • SoBo Dude: I like Bandra... Not enough to live over there... but I like Bandra.
  • Me: That's a very SoBo thing to say.
  • SoBo Dude: Yes, I have a reputation to keep.

Good Morning, Sunday

Since I started working six days a week, the Sunday morning has become such a delightful phenomenon. The universe seems to bristle with possibilities on Sunday mornings. I could complete reading the 1,729 unread books in my personal library. Or meet the comrades and hatch a plan to save the world. Or start writing an award-winning book. Or sleep a long, beauty sleep.

Compare that with Monday mornings. Oh well, c’est la vie.



It’s only words…


Good Morning!

Sleepily open eyes. Reach for phone. Six new notifications. One is a message from someone very busy, who I really like but seldom speak with. Heart leaps with joy. May every day be like today!


The Mumbai Local Dilemma:

To cuss, or not to cuss, that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The jostles and elbows of outrageous people,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? — To travel, To commute
No more; and by a fracas, to say, we end
The fret, and the thousand natural shocks
That a Mumbaikar is heir to?

If someone close repeatedly makes promises and then disappoints, will you be comfortable to cut them off from your life?

Yes. Once bitten, twice shy.
