You got to be a show off, and you got to have something to show off. Like for example long, never-ending legs. Or a figure of 32, 28, 32. I am just close…34, 34, 34.
Isn’t that the ‘size’ of every other model that walks the ramp on fashion Television? No, I was not referring …

Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped. - Sam Levenson (1911 - 1980)
My birthday made me wonder….
Giving birth is quite a phenomenon. We men are never told about it, and are left to fend for ourselves. The smart men (and there are very few) find out early about this whole birth thingie…the rest of us…. depend on movies to teach us the nuances of life.
I think I was somewhere between the smart and the not-so-smart …

I think, February 14 should henceforth be declared a National holiday. I found it really difficult to get ready and reach my office in time.
Today, at midnight, my wife woke me up to wish me a happy St. Valentine’s day. A bleary eyed Jammy was pulled into the drawing room where on the dining table was a heart-shaped cake with a single lit candle. We were to blow off the candle and celebrate our first St. Valentine’s Day after marriage.
There have been four firsts so far –
1) Our first St. …

Kissing is fine if it is within the five walls of the house. Yes, ours is a unique house. Once, outside…it is a big mess. Unless of course, you live in the US of A or the fashion capital (or French capital?) Paris.
After the Kareena Kapoor-Shahid Khan kissing episode that hit the headlines of most newspapers, I was left wondering how kissing could become so important in the life of a man (or an woman). So, I tried to do a trace-back…

I am not the selfish type, but there are some things that a man cannot compromise with. His bed, for example.
I have been sleeping in my bed alone for the past 29 years, and all of a sudden a bunch of geriatrics (read elders) arrange (?!) for somebody to sleep with me for the next 40-50 years. At least, I am lucky I have known the person for 4 years now. Think about all those who meet their wives for the first time a few seconds before the knot is …

I was introduced to the internet five years back. I started out with e-mails and slowly graduated to yahoo chat. The net was just right for me. I could lie. I could pretend. I could hide. I could lie again. Given below is the transcript of my attempts to find a friend online…that day five years ago.
Vital Info: My yahoo id is pppumpkincarver
6.30 p.m.
pppumpkincarver: Hi

pppumpkincarver: Guy. Why?
pleazemeetme: F*&^ off you punk.

Yesterday I read review of the Hindi movie Girlfriend. It is about two girls, who like each other and eventually develop sexual attraction towards each other. A prominent word used in the review was `lesbian`.
Being the innocent man, that everybody knows me to be, I went out looking for what the word meant. I asked a lady who was sharing the table with me at a restaurant.
Me: Madam, who is a lesbian?
She: If I like to have sex with a woman, I would be a lesbian.
Me: Wow. Does that mean …

I was new, and was just getting used to the school. Before enrolling me, my father had extolled the merits of the school. Not great in studies he wanted me to excel (aren’t all pops like that?).
I was in grade ten. Her name was Kavita Krishnamurthy. She was my classmate.
On my second day at school, this girl Kavita walks up to me and said, “I have a feeling I love you. Do you love me?”
I did not remember seeing her in the class. I said so. She gave me two …
