This one is a filthy one. Or rather about one. One would think that BMC would maintain the premises surrounding their waste management office, and make it an example. But no Sir, they don’t believe in setting examples. Just check out the photos. These either surround this office or are about 100 metres from it. [...]

Aman Ki Asha – WTF?
Posted: January 4, 2010 in UncategorizedTags: Ajmal Kasab, Aman ki Asha, india, Karachi, Lead India, mumbai, page 3, Pakistan, Teach India, Times of India
What does the Times of India really want to achieve through the “Aman ki Asha” initiative? Beats me. It is rather silly that the newspaper which claims to be India’s best and biggest, does not understand that getting a bunch of artists, cricketers and page 3 people will not solve any issue. Yes, we want [...]
Awards!

I love awards. Totally, and absolutely. I would be lying if I say that awards don’t mean a thing to me. I love to stand there on stage, taking my little token /trophy /certificate anything that pats me on the back and can then adorn my shelf! I love the recognition that come with it, [...]
Childhood

Why is that when we are children and in school, we want to grow up in a hurry? And why is it that once we grow up, we want to be children again? Got this fantastic poem as a forward (it’s in marathi, but the true essence is only felt in one’s mother tongue, and [...]
Mumbai Terror Attack

Today was another one of those that brought the Mumbai to a standstill. The city was under attack by some terrorists and the citizens in shock, anger, disgust, fear, tears, and a whole variety of inexplicable emotions. It’s again that a handful of armed militants have held people’s lives and their security at ransom. Confusion [...]

KRK – Kamal Rashid Khan is here with a mission. His acting launch pad Deshdrohi is hitting screens on November 14 competing with Dostana. The publicity for Deshdrohi is no less than it was for Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, which was a launch pad Aamir Khan. In fact, Himesh Reshammiya can take a tip or [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]
Traffic ecosystem in Mumbai

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!!! To quote a famous Amitabh Bachchan dialogue [...]
