The birth of the Girth
  It’s the most obnoxious part of the human body, since it reveals it’s ugly head in the forties (the new 30’s!! ), a time when most of us live in defiance of our age, ***ual prowess and a balding head, in that order!.

After having heard rave reviews of  “Shootout at Lokhandwala”, I finally managed to watch the movie yesterday. Apart from ,superb performances by Vivek, Shabbir, Tushar and others , it was the character of Maya Dolas that impressed me more.  Did Maya become a gangster by choice, or was it that one murder of his own father that lead him to that; was... more...

Mayajaal –The Beginning of an End?
Mayawati wins in UP and so have the people of the state!

Paradox of Life and Death- A learning
I had never seen and learnt from life, as much as I experienced over last weekend. My wife had a miscarriage and had to be admitted in the hospital for an operation. All through the operation I felt low, very low; it was her first pregnancy and she had to lose the child in the first attempt itself. We had pasted small kid posters in our bedroom, an... more...
