Mid-day Interrogation: I have nothing to exclaim!

What do you do when you see an empty can on the street? Do you kick it? Do you try to kick it somewhere precisely? Do you feel happy when it hits that specific area? Do you feel happy when you finish your work on time? When was the last time you brushed for more than 5 minutes? Are you irritated with a friend's habit but can't tell him or her? Do you think the piano is a more soothing instrument than an acoustic guitar? Are you happy with your life? Have you ever tried getting out of office the moment you get in? Do you prefer tea or coffee?


Do you consider coffee to be bad for your health? Do you need a cigarette after lunch? When did you last see a six-year old boy? Do you remember hitting some person when you were a little kid? Can you touch your feet with your hand while standing? Do you like your job? Do you exercise regularly? Is your wallet made of leather? Do you think you should complete your work everyday? Would you get angry if someone throws coffee on your face? Would you really get angry enough to hit him or her?


Do you remember the first word you ever uttered? Can you draw with your feet? Do you like a desktop computer or a laptop? Are you in love? Is chocolate the sweetest thing you've ever eaten? Do you like writing with pencils? Do you prefer food in paper plates or porcelain plates? What was your first assignment in your current office? Do you like wooden chairs? Is your hair tidy at this very instance? Are you scared of fire-crackers?


Can you tell where you'll be in the evening? Can you have a whole cake by yourself? Can you see where I'm going? Did you get irritated while reading this? Did you smile even once while answering to any one of the questions above? Did you even answer any one question? Are you wondering why I'm asking so many questions? Did you notice that the above give three paragraphs had three questions related to life decisions? Can you find them? Will you answer them if you find them? Do you want me to point out those questions to you? Do you really need my help? Do you really need help? Who invented the question mark? Why are you reading further? I've made my point.

The Chronicles of Genius Rabbit: Psychopath gone sober

“Whose balls do I have to break to get some cabbage around here?” Genius Rabbit wasn’t this perturbed usually but his mind was kind of fucked greatly because of the current case he was handling. It was something he had not dealt with since the time Book Worm had lost his memory after the 9/11 attacks. It took him almost an hour to treat him. To make him remind of the many tigers he had killed in his lost state. This case was different although. Not because the victim and the culprit were the same but because the victim and the culprit were avid television watchers. A person so addicted to the world of television is not fooled by the whims and fancies of the real world. The victim and the culprit was Psychopath George. In an attempt to take revenge from his long-time rival Happy Fred, Psychopath George had accidently fallen prey to his kindness. Why was this bad? This was bad because Happy Fred was one of the top criminals of Mount Paramount Pictures. “Here you are, sir.” The giraffe wh...

WHAMBAY! 2: Lost in transition

‘Na jee paaoge, na jaa paaoge…’ Another year in Mumbai. And boy, has it been another ride. I really did not expect it to be, considering the challenges and experiences I shared in the first blog. But here I am. Writing again. And solely because I want you guys to appreciate the lives of the people from here, people living here, people wanting to live here. What’s the big deal? Why another post? This isn’t anything like a Sacred Games or a Gully Boy, glorifying and fantasising life in Mumbai. This is just more of the same. Hard facts, engagements in real life. And I guess some of you would be interested in it. I got comments and suggestions from people like me, who moved in, about how true I was about whatever I was saying. I had people from here tell me, how they had forgotten about these little things in their process of growing. I had people, who wanted to come here, get freaked about the ways of living and surviving in this city. So, let me go further into narration and tel...

'Choose your elf' by Any Man

Look… If you had… One short… One really puny… To bring everything you ever wanted… In one moment. Would you choose it? Or just get a grip? Yo… His palms are small, knee-high, his arms are steady There's service in this weather already, tom’s machete He's frivolous, but like a surfer he looks calm and ready To drop you home, but he keeps on forgettin' What he brought down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his bag, but the gifts won't come out He's jokin', how, everybody's freakin' now The clocks run out, times up, over, ciao! Snap back to reality, oh there goes clarity, oh, there goes habit, you know, you’re so bad, but you won't, give up that easy, no, you won't have it, you knows the whole city's lost hope, it don't matter, you’re broke, he knows that, but he's forced, he's so scared that he knows, when he goes back to north pole, that's when its back to the dad again, yo, this whole custody. Yo...
