It's been one year today since a dream, a journey began. Over the years I have come to realise that luck, fate, chance, uncertainty play a huge role in how life unfolds and shapes up. Last one year was a practical lesson of that realisation. On 30th August 2024, I realised few things for 30th... Continue Reading →
RK @ 100
Today is 100th birth anniversary of the amazing 'Showman of Indian Cinema', Raj Kapoor. I am now in my mid 40's. The stars I grew up with are Khans and Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Govinda, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff etc. My father grew up in Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan era (late 60's, early 70's)....

Nostalgia, Motivation and My Sketch
Today I found a treasure trove! I found my notebooks from Standard 11th, 12th and a couple of years of Engineering, few files from Engineering submissions, and my Answer papers from standard 9 and 10! Also found a couple of text books from standard 3rd (!) and standard 7th! Those things, for me, are less... Continue Reading →
15 Years of Lehman Brothers’ Collapse: A Personal Account
I feel that no single date/day or a person or a thought changes one's life forever. Or those would be very very few.

But I really liked the female lead Maite Perroni and hence when the Season 2 came up recently, I decided to watch. I just finished watching the Season 2 and... Continue Reading →
How I Spent Year 2020…
It's end of the year 2020...finally. Most people will celebrate not because the new year is starting, but mainly because the horrendous year 2020 is ending. It seemed like an eternal year. There was nothing memorable about 2020...for most of the people excluding me (or people like me). It doesn't mean that it was a... Continue Reading →
25 Years of DDLJ and Rangeela
Yesterday was 25th anniversary of the iconic Hindi film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ) which released on 20th October 1995. The movie was hugely popular, probably one of the top 3 most popular movies in Indian cinema and it swept away all popular awards that year. And that's why I actually don't like DDLJ so...
