The girl in blue


Random

As she plays with her hair Sitting on an airport chair I see her right there, talking on phone The girl in blue   Her spectacles strike me She wears matching denims Sits like a lady with straight back And talks like a child with happiness   I wish I could talk to her Be […]

Sab fase hain kahin na kahin, sabko aage badna hai Thodi dhakka mukki toh hogi hi, sabke jane ka rasta nahi   Kahan jaa rahe hain shayad kisi ko nahi pata Pata karne me lagta hai samay, joh kisi pe hai nahi Peeche nahi choot sakte, jab sab jaa rahe hain toh sahi hi hoga […]

Running your own race


Essays

The other day I got a call from a friend. He was concerned about the package and promotion his peers got. He got a decent hike as well. But that didn’t make him as happy. How Rancho topped the class was a bigger concern for Farhan and Raju rather than them getting passed. Happens with […]

Breaking the closet


Essays

How we feel agitated when someone breaks the line and gets ahead of us. We’ve all seen how people have benefited by engaging in corruption-coercion and benefited. Not necessarily though. What […]

The Hero Fallacy


Essays

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a hero. Not the one in Cinema. But a real life hero. Whom everyone loves. Who, as shown in movies, fights for good. Saves the world. Who is talented and often without flaws.  When I started working, I worked like a hero. Someone who […]

Doing things that matter


Essays

As I begin writing this essay I am scared that I shouldn’t focus on how readers should perceive it, rather I should focus on what I originally intend to say. Creating perception is precisely why we do a lot of the things. If you were given an option of not doing anything at the office […]
