Living in India as one reads the news every day invariably, one gets exposed to the sexual violence epidemic. I have stopped subscribing to newspapers for this very reason. I don’t watch news channels except for specially curated programs. But since my work is on social media, I do get exposed to so much news about…
All of us in this world like to enjoy. We also strive hard to achieve the bare necessities as it is a necessary and essential condition to live. We also work to get a comfortable and socio-luxurious life. But how do we achieve a society where this is possible. How difficult and complex is it? …
My office laptop showed me only about 324 unread mails that I needed to read and work upon. Three hundred and twenty-four freaking unread mails! Unlike in my Gmail, these were not promotion mails that I could just sweep to archive. This usually happened on days when I had back to back calls and meetings…
My relationship with God is gloriously fluid and unstructured. To me, God is sometimes a woman, sometimes a man, many times it’s just light or water or trees – you name it. Lately, I’ve felt God in my new washing machine. Sometimes I’m scared of Her, sometimes She’s my best friend – most times though,…
Once, someone had told me, “You look so much like your grandmother.” I didn’t pay heed because I was used to hearing that all the time. It was like how everyone would look at Harry Potter and sigh, wistfully, “Oh, you have your mother’s eyes!” Be it my eyes or my cheekbones or the shape…
I was 17 when I started living alone. I was in Bangalore for the last three years, and now, I am in Chennai. And I am a self-declared pro at finding and living in real estate.

Very serious thoughts about human nature and diversity emerged in my mind after the recent protests by the JNU students. The subsequent – and completely unrelated – questions raised by the news media on the significance and utility of the education being imparted at JNU was intriguing. I wondered what it was that made a…
Look at my pictures, meet me, and if I say I have a disability, you wouldn’t believe me. Sometimes I won’t reciprocate to your smile with a smile, and you might be quick to label me as snooty without knowing that I can’t often smile because I have myofascial pain. Some days my brain fog…
If you were the kid, who wore their elder brother’s/sister’s clothes when he/she outgrew them, and the legacy continued for generations until they reduced to the size of a hanky, give me an ‘M’! If you were that poor little kid whose mother pushed you into that public bus’ seat until your ribs came out…
This very morning I heard a feeble voice inside whispering, “And miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep..” Yes, the guess was right. Those lines are from the very famous American poet, Robert Lee Frost’s most celebrated poem – Stopping by woods on a snowy evening. Robert Frost was born on…
A government veterinary doctor was brutally murdered on the outskirts of Shamshabad, near Hyderabad, who went missing on the night of Wednesday, 27th Nov 2019. The voice call is available here on popular media. The victim, Disha, made a call to her sister explaining her situation moments before she was trapped by four lorry drivers/cleaners,…
We all have some aspirations in our life, we all dream of something we want to achieve in our life, we all want to be successful, some of us even want to become great and be remembered in history. But what stops most of us in realizing our goals, why only a few people achieve…
