If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my Blog’s RSS Feed. Or my Comment’s RSS Feed. Your funny bone is definitely as big as your femur!I generally like to travel by second class. To tell you the truth we travel first class only when Rekha is with me. I know, all this while I have maintained that I preferred the lively atmosphere of the 2nd class to the deafening silence in a 1st class compartment of a train. But that’s not true. Rekha doesn’t give me …

In the last few days I have got 591 browsers coming to my blog looking for Mallika Sherawat MMS. Any idea why they came to my Blog?
Perhaps they thought ‘Mallika Sherawat MMS’ meant ‘Mallika Sherawat Manages to Marry Somebody.’ Who is this Mallika, anyways?

I know most of you men out there will agree that girl friends are a little difficult to walk with. I am not referring to their slow gait in tight trousers ..but figuratively. Not many of us actually like to walk on a busy road with a girl friend in tow? But we are forced to do that because of peer pressure. As a 24-year-old gentleman I spoke to last night put it: “Ritesh has one, Prakash has one and even that dud Sunil has one. Won’t I be …

In my 30-year-old stay in India, I have hosted many foreigners. And on all occasions, I have been tempted to tell stories …ones not true but …ones that make interesting listening. Stories like those narrated to the foreigners by the pan-chewing guides at the gates of Taj Mahal. Or closer still…Mahabalipuram.
As with most things spoken about in this Blog…the tourists are also of two types. There are the tourists from US of A and tourists from the other countries. For a not-so-trained eye all would be the same. But for …

Yesterday London won the right to host the 2012 Olympics. It proves the age-old story that David can slay the Goliath anytime. BTW, did you know that David Beckham led the London bid?
You are probably wondering why I speak of the Olympics on a platform where I lay bare the tortures of a wife called Rekha. You are justified.
In a way Marriage is like Olympics. You first invest everything you got in winning the bid, you then prepare for the actual ceremony, and after the ‘Games’ are over you realize …

Yesterday was Rekha’s birthday. Phew! Am glad it is over - was on my toes the whole day.
As part of the winding up process, I was forced to have dinner at the Wang’s Kitchen (in Velachery). Chinese has never been my cup of tea, though I have heard they serve the best tea.
An Indian opened the door for me. He was dark and had a huge mustache. He did not look Chinese to me. Since when did the Chinese start wearing tika on their forehead?
“Rekha, are we at the right …

After reading a report on a five year old Policeman in India, I thought we should write a tribute for the policemen (and policewomen). After all, their’s is an un-paid job. Why else do you think they stand on the road, stopping cars and bikes and collecting chanda.
With the policemen busy collecting chanda, today’s World has very little crime. Perhaps, it is also because all of us know that crime is against the law.
It was …

I know a few of you will be angry with me for being so rude. But having been married, I guess it is time for me to understand that there is no such thing called love between husband and wife.
If somebody told me that Shah Jahan built Taj Mahal for his lover Mumtaz Mahal…I would readily agree. Now that historians say he built it for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, I don’t buy the story.
I have arrived at this after taking into account my own experiences. The last thing I built …
