The Dog-eat-dog World!

Sandy’s comment (check my previous post’s comment section,) sent me back into the past. I am not putting the details here, as you are any way going to read about them in my autobiography, but I just thought I should tell you about how the simple process of spaying could result in a lot of [...]

Introducing the Matrimonials!

If you haven’t heard of the matrimonials, you probably belong to a culture in which you select your own life-partners. In our culture, the “cultured” (not the petridish-kind-of cultured, but the refined-traditional-kind-of cultured,) don’t marry the one they choose, but the one their parents, relatives, family-priests, family friends, or anyone else chooses for them. Those [...]

World Affairs of the Hellish Kind!

The affairs of this world weigh me down. The Undemocratic democracy in Iran, the tight-rope walk between the aid and the fight with Taliban by Pakistan, the quiet, tight-lipped, and risk-averse President Obama, the Oz-zone depletion of courtesy, and the insistence of Indians to go to that unwelcoming land…these are some of the few issues [...]

A Fini Trip, a Caricature, and a Break

The day before was a Monday. Mondays are fine days. These two stay home for at least half the day, they cook what they call lunch, and sometimes, we all go out on a Fini Trip. Yesterday, all the three happened. What I enjoyed most was the Fini Trip, of course.

Of Underdogs, Empty Dreams, and Value Lost!

A comment from my friend Dewey got me thinking. Why is it that the underdog sells? Why is it that pride in one’s ability, hard work, and honesty don’t make interesting stories today? Stories that sell today are crafted out of pain, luck, thefts, rapes, and murders! I still recall movies from the past that [...]

Dreams, Reality, and Life – A Pigeon’s Autobiography!

The story of the dove that raised her two chicks alone…of the three-legged monkey…of the one-legged pigeon…these stories make me wonder if we should ever allow anything to pull us down!
I didn’t see this one-legged pigeon. I don’t know if I would’ve known the difference. My hindbrain instincts would’ve kicked in and I would’ve given [...]
