What is simple logic, Common sense for you and me, What is it to be rational Has been for me a real mystery. When I say I’m right, They say I’m wrong, And when I think I’m wrong, Praise from people comes along. I’ll do what I want, thus be what I can All the world […]

My pursuit of Happiness
The other day (long back actually) I read about this research study being conducted to find an equation for happiness, in like real mathematical terms! I don’t know how far they have got with that…and in the mean time I decided to make one for myself! And this formula I came up with was […]
Since I’ve Been Gone…
I have been going places. I have travelled more miles in the past 15 days than I have in all my life put together. From UP to Mumbai, and then the United States of America via Kuwait and Germany. But the one landing at Washington DC was not enough, I guess, I travelled the next […]

Even Sarcasm Fails At This!
In my very first blog post I had written that my BA exams were hopefully my final encounter with the University of Mumbai…(and I am still continuing with those prayers everyday!) I ventured out again today to the long lost campus of the University ready to beg, borrow or steal what was due to me […]
