My cell phone which has a highly responsive capacitative touch screen has caused me a lot of grief. I always end up accidentally accepting requests which I had no intention of accepting and liking stuff which I had no intention of liking!

It’s raining rishtas. I’m feeling confused. Love marriages are so simple. You love someone, you marry that person. Arranged marriages are cold and calculated. There is no love.

I usually fall asleep tinkering with my cell (usually aimlessly surfing the Web) and I would rather do something useful. Besides I really feel like reciting the Quran in the night but I’m too tired to get up!

It had stopped in the middle of the tracks and had not moved for almost 40 minutes. Also,I was cursing myself for taking the train instead of a taxi as someone had informed (misinformed) me that the trains...

I went through hell this morning. There was chaos at the railway station because of a fire. Almost 3 million commuters using the central line in Mumbai were affected. The local trains were very late and very, very crowded. I am not kidding when I say that I thought I would fall off the train and die. Infact,a man did have an accident on the tracks today and he lost his leg! I really don’t...
