“You are Marathi?”. Yessir, mee aahe marathi manoos.
I could sell ice to an eskimo, but may find it tough when it comes to convincing people that I am a marathi manoos. I get passed off as a relocated keralaite, a gaothan catholic, or a nice telugu. Or sometimes as an alien.
Reason 1 – My diction. [...]

Some pictures mean more than they say! These are random shots that I have collected from various places. Am not a photographer – but am sure you can see the depth in these pictures!!!
A New Beginning – This was taken one fine morning at the Food Mall on the Mumbai Pune Expressway at 6 am. [...]

With the redevelopment of older buildings in my neighbourhood is gathering speed and with lesser people now populating the area, I am noticing a new development also happening. In a space starved Mumbai, couples find all sorts of places to koo-chickoo!!! One such place happens to be a corner of my building, which after nightfall [...]

I want to concede that my life is dominated by women. There is not a single decision I make that does not take the aid of a woman. It doesn’t make a pretty picture, but I have come to terms with this. Now, before you think that I am a metrosexual, let me correct you. [...]

Anyone who drives a car in Mumbai needs to know the pecking order on the roads. As I moved up the vehicle ranks, I realised that I have fallen lower in the traffic food chain. There were times when I was the King, oh how I have fallen!!!

When we went to Goa last January for our annual vacation, we decided that this time it would be serious beach bumming. The program was simple. Eat, swim, drink, swim, drink, well I guess you pretty well get the picture!

Monica Bedi will be making a grand entry into the Bigg Boss house today. Am happy, since I thought that she was one of the non fussy, non cribby inmates. Though the man Rahul Mahajan just doesnt allow her any space. Hopefully our Bedi girl should now have wisened up and should be able to [...]
