No bread? Some cake then...

Recession has wrought some interesting changes. For one, the cautious Indian spender is making a slow comeback.
March 7, 2009

Three cheers for desi porn!

From masturbation to orgasm, from morning ablutions to sexism, everything politically incorrect was gloriously centrestage.

The Husband Syndrome

Living in a concrete urban jungle like Bombay, it’s usually difficult to sight or appreciate the wonders of natural wildlife.
February 1, 2009

The biography of the shaadi staple

All protests are brushed aside; after all it’s the role of the bride’s single friends to create raucous ruckus at weddings and keep the banter and bawdy jokes flowing.

Arrivederci 2008!

I usually hate goodbyes. I am the quintessential pack rat so to speak, reluctant to let go of people, possessions or memories. But 2008 is different.

The heart is on hiatus

My writing usually focuses on the vagaries of the human heart and the machinations of love. But my poor heart has taken a hard rap in the last 10 days.

I just read a rather harsh critique of Booker winner White Tiger.
October 25, 2008

Since we’re at it...

I am certain that even if I throw all my Gauloises in the Arabian Sea, those big shiny vehicles spewing black smoke right in my face will erode my lungs pretty soon!

Guess who’s subprime now?

Perhaps it’s in utter bad taste to laugh at the misfortune of others, but while you count the zeros in the proposed 700-billion dollar bailout of Wall Street, please allow me to laugh my ass off.

To do or not to do

I think God must be a man. A man intent on making me eat humble pie. (I fervently hope it’s low-fat at the very least!)
September 14, 2008

Gameboy oh boy!

I’ve been notoriously poor at any sport all my life thanks to my typical geeky Bengali upbringing. And never have I ever regretted this lacuna in my life as right now.
