I can’t recall exactly when I developed my extrovert features. As a child, I was shy and kept mostly to my own means. Ours was a small apartment in Nashik with a massive living room. When guests would arrive I would usually be called out of my bedroom to come say hello. I would obediently[…]
I have called it poetic before. But ironic is more like it. India’s Independence Day is also the day I started on an independent journey eleven years ago. India went through a freedom struggle of significant proportions where countless died and the country itself tore apart along the lines of religion. I achieved mine with[…]
Before the origin Why are we here? I have asked myself several times and for several years and my answers have varied between complicated and easy. But almost of all them were just fancier ways of saying ‘for nothing in particular’ I have been a pseudo thinker since my early days. I remember clearly how[…]
I am generally considered arrogant; that I often have difficulties walking the line between confidence and arrogance. Those who know me well pass it off as dry humor at times and usually correctly adopt ridicule as a countermeasure. Those who don’t know me well assume the worst and walk away. It has made me wonder[…]
In a race of my own, for scraps and for everything. Motorsport and I share a complicated relationship status. For starters, I love it far too much. Having studied vehicle dynamics, I understand a large portion of what is required for one to be fast around the race track. When I couple that confidence with[…]
When lack of clarity is not necessarily bad I had in my younger adolescent years come up with a very neat way of differentiating between a crush, an infatuation and all out love. Sadly I can no longer remember that definition in detail. It had to do with how I had a crush on my[…]
On to the third… You are the second one that I am entering the third year with. And while that says a lot about you, it does highlight my new found affinity for things that aren’t flimsy. It doesn’t stop me from lusting after other eight cylinder variants but your four cylinders with a turbo[…]
Circulating overflow David’s waiting game had its consequences. Largely, they were damaging. This profound thought did not dawn upon him as he climbed peaks in South America or when he floated in the Bavarian seas. It wasn’t even the fact that he was actively counting years and checking off his birthday, year after year. Rather,[…]
Terrifying categorization Ironically, the more differences I observe in cultures and races, the more I am beginning to think they are all alike. There are certainly stereotypes that hold true but all of them are so superficial that they cannot dictate intellect, maturity or ability in any which way. In that respect, we really are[…]
Directing Bollywood The clinical execution of vanity can invoke either a repulsive reaction or unabashed enchantment. I fell undoubtedly in the latter category as I couldn’t bring myself to look away. I have been exceptionally lucky to have very close friends that have a myriad of interests other than mine. One of them recently turned[…]
