Being at the center stage matters. It matters to most people, if not all. Everyone loves to be the center of attention, all eyes glued, flashlights, single-handed performance and all. I was like that. And for a major part of me, I am still like that. Yet there’s a less vociferous side of me that…

Decisions, decisions
I have had a hypothesis for quite sometime now. And I feel it’s time I can confidently share it with the rest of the world. Disclaimers first! I don’t claim that I am the only person, who has had this hypothesis or theory, on this planet. It’s possible that others had similar hypotheses/theories and I…
So DID it bite?
Unlike last time, I have a big smile on my face as I write this. My last article was more for waking some of my readers up to hard core reality. I may have sounded very mean. I also may have easily hurt quite a few of you. But then reality should bite, afterall! (If…
Reality MUST bite!
Viciously honest. Sincerely veracious. And a bit acidic that may hurt your skin. Ready for the merciless avatar of Just Blogging guys? If not, don’t waste your time, as I always warn you in such cases. Go ahead, read something else to feel better. Last week I ran into an unending argument with my uncle…

Happy Birthday JB!
Just like that, one fine August day, I wanted to share some thoughts. Just out of the blue I decided to pen down those thoughts. Just by impulse, I sent the pen-downs to CPJ. Just sitting at his desk, he read it in one go. Just from nowhere, I visualized running a column in Enrich….
Some music to your ears
Since time was running out and I had to hand in the article for this month to our content manager, I actually considered handing her a line. Not that my hands were tied but I just couldn’t get myself to finish it hand over fist. I keep boasting of my hands-on experience in writing but…
A thousand splendid smiles!
For some reason best known to themselves, most fiction writers philosophize about happiness in one or the other way. Scarlett O Hara, the protagonist in ‘Gone with the wind’ says: Tomorrow is another day or Arundhati Roy names her first ever novel ‘The God of Small Things’ outlining the significance of small joys in life….
