I Discussed the Pros and Cons of Dying With a Friend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not talking about dying literally. Like marr jana / mitt jana / aapka khud ka dehaant ho jana. Or like watching a Rohit Shetty flick on the big screen and wanting to end it all because the sweet escape of death would be better than enduring another second of the kind of shit films he makes.<div class=
Why I Hate Delhi Speakeasies More Than the Ghazipur Landfill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dekho. Dilli ki jitni buraayi karo, kam hai. Dilli ke log. Dilli ke launde. Dilli ki garmi. For some people, even dilli ki sardi. I mean, I get it. Pollution so bad that it actually kills you? The one good thing Delhi had – its sardi – is now dying one cough at a time.Or take the Dhaula Kuan / Kalindi Kunj / ITO / Mathura Road / any arterial road traffic.

I’ve been a non-believer for as long as I can remember. Yeah, non-believer is the most appropriate term here. I’ve thought of myself as an atheist in the past. Right now, I’m more of an agnostic. But in general, life mein, I’m quite the non-believer.Not like I don’t believe in anything. Matlab pyaar, ishq, mohabbat and all are obviously there. Maybe there’s some baseline belief that things will eventually work out. Or believing in certain people. It’s not like I’m
Please Help Me Get Bored Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s plenty of stuff that I miss from the 90s. Like the fucked-up sensibilities of Bollywood which warped our ideas of love, life, and beyond. Or how we romanticised maa ke haath ka khana, not realising they were probably being forced to spend their entire lives in the kitchen. Or idolising your school seniors and neighbourhood bhaiyyas, only to find them becoming the vilest sanghis by 2014.Yeah, the 90s were a lot of fun.But you know what the one thing is that I miss the most from that bygon
