Why Hamari Adhuri Kahani is not for everyone…

For those who know me, I do not do film reviews, I believe that everyone has their own opinion. I dragged my parents to watch this movie with me, partly because I wanted to spend time with them but also because I was afraid that we were getting a…

Why Shah Rukh Khan?

For all those who know me, know that I am absolutely in love with Shah Rukh Khan(SRK). Undeterred and unabashedly, I am in love with him. There have been a gazillion times when friends have tried to argue with me about him, how he is ‘gay’ or that he is effeminate and other such things. How he…

Feminism — Back Then

I have been very firm about a few things, stuff like how I am not a feminist and how I do not get the male bashing feminist culture that is taking over the world today. It seems like being a feminist comes with a side of man-hating and I truly do not partake in any of that.

Why I switched from ‘I am important too’ to ‘I am important.’

Okay, before I begin this is not going to be a self-righteous ‘oh my life has turned on its head because of this one decision’, type of a post. This is another musing which can be blamed on the rains.

Jack of all, Master of none.

Since the beginning of time, since I can remember, life has always been about the race — either with others, with yourself, with your past, with your heritage, with your family — it is all about the race. It is all about moving ahead, leaving something behind; what is that…

Why I am not looking for Marital Bliss?

It is an existential crisis. It is troubling. Unnerving even.

With Facebook turning into marriage book, all of us not getting married or not even in a relationship feel like something is odd. Now, before I start, God bless the lovely…

An ode to the Friend Zone

Now for the people who have their grammar compass en pointe will understand what I am trying to say. For those who are having a bit of a problem, I will be talking about the friend zone, not the people in the friend zone but the actual concept.

Baarish Playlist 2.0

Everytime I watch Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani I always find myself relating to Naina, and it is always for this very dialogue. When Bunny and her, they have this conversation, or rather a repartee about what is awesome about travelling and being in one place. She says everything that I love…
