So…

So... The past two weeks have proven to be something of a throwback to my school days. It says something about the experience because I Hate, yes, the caps are intentional, using the word "throwback"; just like I hate using words like "scrumptious" or hearing words like "the-script-demanded-it". Anyway, I spent the week before last …

The Bald and the Smile

I live in another part of the city now. The age between 3 and 19 was spent at an apartment in the northern part of the city. Relatively speaking, of course, because although I’m more south to that place, I’m still just at a 20-minute walk from it. It wasn’t much of a “moving places” …

Unaware

Once upon a time, there was a relatively short, relatively fat and bespectacled boy of 17 whose definition of a good day was when a girl looked at him. But, unlike every (mostly) 17-year-old boy fresh out of school looking forward to the relative freedom of college life, he was paranoid of not being accepted. …

The Bucket List

I have a feeling, a wanting and a strong desire, fueled by 1 litre of Real Orange juice, to write about this. So I will. This is, partly, a musing of Morgan Freeman’s character in the movie The Bucket List. A dying guy who wants to drive a Shelby as one of his dying wishes …

Crony Capitalism and the freedom from society

I came across an old editorial from The Free Press Journal a few days back while I was rummaging in my box o’ vague things. It was a cut out of an article by Dr. Bharat Jhunjhunwala telling us how Crony Capitalism was an impediment for our economy. Dr. Jhunjhunwala’s captain obvious contention was based …

A Fellow Blogger

This post is by no means exhaustive. There are too many writers about whom I can write because they all fit snugly in the context that I am going to write about, but this particular writer is fresh in my mind currently. Also, mostly the writers I COULD write about would be these famous award …

Loving Men – Three

This is the last part of the series. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't really know. I know this series has lost its steam. For one thing, I wasn't seeing the last part seriously; at least some of my friends say so. I mean the entire brouhaha (in my head) about Alfred-Wayne now smacks of father-son …

Loving Men – Two

For anyone who is a regular they would know about this series. For the new comers (I sure hope there are some) this is where you'll find the Prologue and Part One of this series. ... ... ... Well, I'll assume that y'all read the previous ones while I dilly dallied with those ellipses there. *smirks* Ok. That'll …

Loving Men – One

There was a big deal of small talk over Loving Men where I spoke about three blog posts to showcase the beauty of friendship among men. My friends went into a wholly detailed analysis and came up with all 3. So there goes my "surprise" aspect. Either I'm just bad, or they're simply brilliant. Well, …

Loving Men – Prologue

Ever wanted a Man Friday? Someone you could depend upon in the most dire of situations. Someone who you would be sure of having your back at all times? I think we all want a friend, a partner, a buddy, a second, whatever name you call him by, and we want him by our side. …
