Out
Flee-ed home for grad. Independent living.
Late nights. Parties. No-no guests.
Paying the bills. Fixing food.
Making room-mate rules.
Working. Projects and deadlines.
Looking for those with whom
Greatness is achieved, money is minted.
Working out a personal plan that cannot die.
Changing homes. But never going back home.
Tasted freedom. The thrill of it.
No turning back.
Happy independence day
Just did a logo & poster. Run cycle Run
If you are in Delhi, see you at the duathlon.

Girl talk
She: My cycle went.
Me: Where? Where? Did you park it properly!
She: err..menstrual cycle..
Firmly planted
Dhruv said, there oughta be tables at a pub, with deep beer mug stains on them, stains of the history of all who sat, talked, revelled.
A secret lying out there in the open
I tend to cycle by in a trance, Happy and sailing. Only when AJ shows me the photos later do I see stars fading in the dawn sky, lush greenery with dabs of bougainvillea pink. And now looks like I missed a giant hole in the scheme of things that Rajesh Kalra’s keen journo sense identified.
Chicks dig my ride
Watch this.
What dyu think?
I think….
Anyway I have a problem with 'chicks'. When he cycles by wearing this, it is like he is only talking to the guys and women who read this are supposed to realise they aren’t being spoken to at all. I know I am taking this more seriously than it is meant but 3 cheers for the middle-aged guy!
He rightly says 'talk to me, why are you shouting?” though the pushing and man-handling is sad. There I must defend freedom of expression, even if it is shit expression.
Actually, everyone is shouting. And old man isn't listening much. But the cyclist isn't making a strong case at all.
And why should that cop intervene? He doesn’t have to be a spokesperson for the public all the time. Things need to be quite screwed for him to step in. Why should he have to step in and assume an authoritative role in this?
And all this mission biz - I WILL convert people to cycling is fanatic. If the cyclist really means to convert this middle-aged man and others in the crowd to cycling, isn't it amazingly obvious he is not speaking his target audience's language with 'chicks dig my ride'? It is interesting that in these times when expression is so easy and one can just splash a message publicly through the internet, that this cyclist should have an on-ground experience in expression and its impact/consequences. But all said and done, I do feel a little sorry for this cyclist.
Anything. Matlab kuch bhi..
I wish I was a bat
Screeching in caves
Doing MiG style air rotations
Scratching my nine inch nails on rocks
And slumping to earth in Bwood heroine anguish
And eating my mice with a fork and knife
And flying past silly humans
With snarling high pitch granite e-e-e-e-a-a-as
And beady eyes
Alert, sparkling and blind
And hanging upside down
With no idea that the universe is expanding
Not wondering what the right side up is
And living for eternity in my head
Not knowing when I was born
And not knowing when I am caught
My membranous wings and tiny clenched fists
Poking out from between the canines of an orange fox
That ventured into the cave
And didn’t want to pounce on hairy rats that day.
Announce. Confess. Promise.
I wish facebook (on the wall page) had a small column on the side where one could update progress in one's mini-goal daily; like training for an expedition or a diet or CAT prep or trying to be a nicer person. With ppl's comments invited of course.
And the column could finish with a performance-graph giving reasons for low show (festival gormandising) or good show (terrific weather). I could see how many excuses and how many valid reasons.
What goal would you like an open update column for?
