I’ve never been a fan of giving people the middle finger while driving. It’s such a cliché. In today’s world, do people even care about a random person in a random car flipping them the bird? Does it even register? It seems to me too easy to ignore. Crap drivers are probably expecting the fingerContinue reading “What to do in case of a vehicular near-accident”

California
Fifteen days ago, I had never been west of Austin, Texas. Still, I had my preconceived notions of this California. Doesn’t everyone? It’s impossible to listen to music or watch movies/TV without forming some sort of impression. I think the music is what really does it. People are less trusting of the film business butContinue reading “California”
Dear K
Dear Korea, I miss Cass. I miss Hite, I even miss O.B. I never thought I would, but I do. I hated O.B but damnit, I miss it now. I guess that’s a “don’t know what you got till it’s gone” situation. I miss walking everywhere and getting stared at. You really made me feel likeContinue reading “Dear K”

All Growns Up.
Without any humour or irony , I say to myself quite often “When I grow up, I’m going to ________”. I said it when I met a gentleman on a plane and I wished one day I could be like him, the kind of man who can take over a ten hour flight and makeContinue reading “All Growns Up.”
I like it dirty.

I am constantly winding up with my Louisville Slugger… 5 weeks ago, I went to Japan- Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. Japan was easily the most Japanese placeContinue reading “I like it dirty.”
X & Y
I majored in English in college because I love words. In terms of a job, I always wanted to be a writer or a copywriter in advertising. As college came to a close, I went to advertising fairs and agencies and I met the people in the industry. I changed my mind. Almost everyone IContinue reading “X & Y”
Inside of Me
The past few days, I have been thinking of what the near future holds for me. I have to decide whether to keep teaching, whether to stay in Korea and if I leave, where do I go? The answers aren’t obvious to me although I suppose they appear so to others. Unlike most people, IContinue reading “Inside of Me”

It’s Friday night and the feeling’s right. You hit the local cinema. You have a decision to make and it’s a big one. Which movie do you see ? This could effect the rest of your life. It might be something you always remember, it could be something you hope to forget by Monday. YouContinue reading “Watching Too Many Movies”

In summer of this year, I was in New Jersey and I arrived at work on a morning like any other to find out that my hometown of Bangalore (India) had been targeted in a series of attacks across town using homemade grenades. It tore me up. I was born in Bangalore and grew upContinue reading “Salaam Bombay”
