A small town with a population of 1104 people, Baudette (Minnesota), continued my lineage with small towns. Born in the wonderfully gifted city of Nashik, India, I made my way through cities like Ann Arbor and Erie, both of which are not large by any means. Yes, Pune was a slight exception not because it’s[…]
I saw this on Late Night TV and could not stop laughing. Things like these make countless hours of useless TV broadcasting (and viewing) worth it! Q: “How many surrealist’s does it take to screw in a light bulb?”A: “A Fish” Indeed, Surreal but true!
The wise have always believed that all love fades. Over time and some over distance…While that holds for most cases, my love for her has not ceased or diminished.A much belated birthday gift from a close friend of mine who shares the same sickness had me giggling away on Saturday afternoon as I opened the[…]
Starry eyed and on a total high, I spent almost an entire day at the Detroit Motor show amongst spectacular four wheel wonders. Moving from manufacturer to manufacturer, I sustained orgasmic feelings throughout. When I finally stepped out of the COBO convention hall on to the cold black streets of Detroit, I blew the city[…]
It’s a wonderful day, here in Erie. Mid January, but the sun is shining. The temperature is in the mid fifties. Everything seems alive, as if it were summer.

Things were different earlier. My mom would shudder at every message Windows would spit out when she switched on the computer and tried to access the net. As we are all aware of Window’s brilliance at throwing out pointless messages, it is an easy assumption that my mom gave up her attempts to catch up[…]
And so its here, the New Year! I wish you all a wonderful 2006. The New Year marks the beginning of my journey on uncharted–but–always dreamed of waters. Excited, apprehensive and unsure, I have now reset my life, hopefully for a well-booted future! I also turned much older this year. Suddenly the twenties are beginning[…]
I had always wanted to do this. Get my kicks on the Route 66. Route 66 was an U.S highway initiated in 1923 and ran from Chicago to Los Angeles. Before President Eisenhower introduced the glorious interstates, the route 66 was monumental for the westward expansion of the United States. Now, it is just a[…]
“And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty. And it stayed its hand from killing. And from that day, it was as one dead” The movie is superb. Peter Jackson, through his fantastic cinematic capabilities has managed to stun me again. I was amazed by how he brought the trilogy of Lord of[…]
I imagine my mother a little pensive. Her son, the younger one cannot make it home this year. For the New Year’s and for his birthday and for her… She will wonder why she agreed to let me go two years ago. She will think all the food she had to cook if her son[…]
