Shaktian Space

Whenever I obtain something to spiel in more than 280 characters, I visit this space. I write about things that don’t matter. I write about things that matter. Either way, you are probably wasting your not-so-precious time here.

Across the boundary

Some friends i met last week,
which happened to be the first time ever!
Though we’ve known each other for a long time.
— more than three years now, actually.
Would have been impossible to interact,
and keep in touch constantly,
recognize each others’ face and voice,
share videos, verses and…

Borderline friendship

If she keeps on burning any longer, she won’t survive. This line often rings in my head whenever i think of Pakistan. Every country deserves better. More so when i come across news headlines with some place in that Allahforsaken country having a blast. Of the horrible sort. When such…

Who moved my squirrel?

Wagah border is a strange place to be on our independence day. And by our, I mean India’s and Pakistan’s. On those particular days — evenings to be precise — a lot of unrestrained jingoism displays itself on either side of the gate that divides us. The whole arena is crowded and full of…

When China dialed 911

Technically, it’s still 9/11 today in New York. And that’s what matters. For the unaffected lot, it could be ‘World Conspiracy Theory Day’– a day that shocked humankind at the very onset of the 21st century. It was also a morning that redefined the word Terrorism and its extramarital…

In defense of Coke Studio@MTV…

At the beginning of this year, I wrote a piece on Coke Studio (CS). Well, as you can guess, not many were aware what CS was all about until lately. But since then, it has infiltrated musical aficionados’ psyche like anything. On a personal level, I don’t even remember when…

After the EPIC match!

Well, we won. In other words, one-sixth of humanity had collective orgasm last night when India defeated Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup semifinal. And with that, our clean record against them remained cleanest. As one can imagine, the euphoria is beyond words and I better not try to…

Before the EPIC match!

If you’re into reading crap, you must have read my piece on how cricket sucks and all. Well, I’m not going to renege on what I said (or at least tried to imply) but then I had no idea India and Pakistan were destined to clash in the Cricket World Cup (CWC) semifinal. My superpowers failed…

Stop playing dice with paradise!

By all accounts, J&K has become a nerve-wrecking problem for all the stakeholders in that region right from the Kashmiris themselves to the mechanical arrangements that involves India and Pakistan in this long and complex arena of conflicts, apathy, pathos and despair…

No more INSANE Sania marriage news!

Today is a historic day. Sania Mirza got married. At last. And by any media calculation, it means the end of circus.

We, hoi polloi, on both side of the border were glued to this drama for over three weeks now and no matter how much we hated the futile news…
