O Captain! My Captain!

Today is 15th August 2020, a sleepy Saturday morning here in Seattle. Half asleep, I opened Facebook to tap the patriotic fervor of my fellow Facebook friends. Yeah, it’s usual. We all become super patriotic on a couple of days and then move on to desecrate the core values of our constitution for the rest…Read more O Captain! My Captain!

Life of Muhammad

The more I read news about terrorist attacks in different corners of the world, the more I feel how misguided those people are. Trying to underscore the supremacy of one particular religion and killing innocent people in its name – what a shame. I have been reading a bit about Islam lately, its genesis, its…Read more Life of Muhammad

One fine evening

Every gush of this aromatic air feels like countless blessings from the parched lips of sun-scorched mother earth. Oh this fragrance, this pious  amalgamation of dust and thirst-quenching rain drops is filling my head. My entire body is invigorating and oozing a certainly new level cosmic energy. Standing in my balcony, I am watching  the…Read more One fine evening

Welcome to Microsoft !

Wow ! First two months at Microsoft just passed in the blink of an eye. I must say, so far it has been a mixed experience. Initial few days were quite tough. Right from getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people to completely different environment; things were complicated. I was really not…Read more Welcome to Microsoft !

The Last Date

It was a normal evening. Tangerine dusk was losing its sheen to ascending moon coming tiptoed with refulgent darkness. We had just returned from LC but our arguments on illogical topics wouldn't dare to come to a full stop. I escaped the discussion to change my dress and get some fresh air. While I was…Read more The Last Date

Mughal-e-Azam

College ends, vacation starts. A day before yesterday, I completed Californication and Da Vinci’s Demons and was in no mood for any other serial. So, I thought about my “must-watch-movies-before-I-die” list. Mughal-e-Azam was put on front burner after I had watched “Pyaasa” and “Sahib, Biwi aur Ghulam” a month ago and was mesmerized by their…Read more Mughal-e-Azam

‘Change’ always comes bearing gifts

When life starts to seem insipid and lacking fun, it’s best to try out some changes. It can be a very small one, seemingly nugatory; but the important thing is that this small change may open a window to rather newer predilections in your life. I was feeling likewise since the last two days. Everything…Read more ‘Change’ always comes bearing gifts

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

  F.R.I.E.N.D.S A few minutes ago, I watched the last episode of 10th season of Friends. An era has come to an end. I truly believe that whenever these seven alphabets will be written in caps with a period separating them, it will boil down to this single magnum opus. I can still feel my…Read more F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Casablanca

    Yesterday I watched Casablanca. Only two words are sufficient to epitomize this movie - ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!! Initially I was a bit hesitant to watch this black & white movie made some ages ago in 1942, but trust me, the attempt paid off. Today I watched it third time and can still repeat some…Read more Casablanca

…but Sachinism will stay !!!

Just now that appalling news punctured my ear drum. I was torn to the core. The “Clark Kent” of cricket has hung his boots. That little man with super human capabilities won’t be donning the blue jersey any further.   It was way back in 1998 when I heard his name being spoken at every…Read more …but Sachinism will stay !!!
