Sanjay Dutt Sentenced to 6 Yrs

I was going to write a few words about the Sanjay Dutt conviction but then I read these three writers and couldn’t agree more with them so I thought I’d link instead. For the record, I agree with the sentencing handed out by Justice Kode and I don’t know what everybody around Sanjay was smoking [...]

To Forgive, But Forget?

I once had a boyfriend who told me all about his secret pain. The entire recitation lasted one whole rainy afternoon and it was very touching. At the end of it, he thanked me for hearing him out and told me he was there for me if ever I wished to tell him my problems.“That’s [...]

Court to Shambo: Ram Nam Satya Hai

There are people who get positively gushy over all critters. I’m not one of them. I’m not actively against them or anything but I don’t feel all squishy inside over just any old animal. Barnyard animals, for instance, generally leave me cold and it’s no use reminding me of Babe coz an animated pig [...]

The Great Youtube Debate

Hey, did you see the big, huge CNN-Youtube Presidential debate for the Democratic candidates? Yeah, me neither.

Sexual Histories & A Tag

Sakshi asks, “Would you date a serial lover?”
You might as well ask, “What do you find attractive in a person?” As the responses on her post indicate, the answer is highly subjective. And God only knows if we’d eventually stick to it.
I could make a laundry list of all the things I want in a [...]

Blogger’s Meet

Sridhar over at Srinix sent me an email about the upcoming blogger’s meet in Bangalore. Meet up at Brewhaha near Jyoti Niwas College on the 21st of July - that’s tomorrow, folks!
As I told Kishore, friend and fellow editor over at Desicritics, I can’t make it and I’m seriously bummed about that. Remember me when [...]

Party People

That Paolo was a pothead I already knew. But the news that Antonio was a cokehead was a nasty surprise. Paolo’s girlfriend told me that Antonio was so desperate for a hit that he couldn’t wait for the powder to travel from his nose to his bloodstream. So he was in the kitchen mixing up [...]
