My brother gifted me this lovely little keepsake from one of his vacations. This is the last known manual tram in city of San Fransisco. But that is not the reason I chose to click this beauty. A few days ago, I started to read my first ever Agatha Christie book (gasp! I know!). For…

Justice Takes A Break
Do you remember the opening scene of the movie Watchmen? I am a huge fan of the movie, possibly the best superhero flick in its genre. But I digress. When I heard the Bob Dylan song, I’d wonder, time is the only thing that visibly changes, what is the big deal with that? But the…
No Man In The Mirror
One of Micheal Jackson’s finest ballads, Man in the Mirror tells us to look around and reflect. The song explores our identity and relationship with the civil society at large. It reminds us, especially in such toxic times that we need to become better version of ourselves, and practice the lost art of empathy, without…

Strike and Pocket
Carrom is a very popular indoor game in my part of the world. After dad’s demise, the rest of us would bond over the game. Mom would always say how dad was a champion player and won many accolades at his workplace. With time, my brother and I became quite good at it, but it’s…
Rewind. Pause. Learn. Repeat
I usually prefer my own company for meals; I know I am the only one who cannot bail of out a plan. I trust my presence more than anybody else in the world, so when plans cancel they don’t bother me too much. For me, the most interesting thing to do in a restaurant, when…
Transmogrify. Transform. Morph. Change
This isn’t really a morphed or changed picture. This is just a new perspective to an oft visited tourist spot. While many of us never think about death or plan for it, its always the royal that fuss over respect of their mortal remains. This pictures are from a mosque that oversees the Qutb Shahi…
