Atomic Rooster

She hated travelling.

“Why am I not one with the machine?”

Leap of Faith

This was it. The final train ride back home.

I studied in Delhi and my parents lived in Mumbai. Every year of college I would travel in the Rajdhani Express at least 6 times. It left from Hazrat Nizamuddin station at 5.30 in the evening and reached Mumbai Central at 8 in the morning- a nice, comfortable, (almost) overnight train journey.

How I Crushed 2015

Hey kids, I’m back. 2015 was a very eventful year for me (if you’re a statistics guy and want to quantitatively measure exactly how eventful it was, don’t worry bruh, I got you covered).

2015 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,000 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 17 trips to carry that many people.

Just Another Stranger

Look around, look around, I’m just another stranger. I don’t mean to intrude.

#No

That’s it guys. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me really, REALLY mad. And you know what I do when I’m mad- I rant. I rant long and I rant hard. So here it goes.

New Management

Jesus hated having Sunday brunches with his dad. Who invites their son for a brunch on a Sunday? He didn’t want to sound sexist here, but isn’t that what married women going through a midlife crisis did? But what could he do, he couldn’t defy God after all. Actually he could, but then he’d have to spend the rest of his life in eternal damnation and that was such a drag. And after all, he could suffer though 1 hour with his dad if it meant God left him alone for the rest of the week.

True Detective Season 2: The Good, The Bad and The (Mostly) Ugly

 

I was SUPER pumped up for True Detective Season 2. Season 1 was some of the best TV I had seen in a long time since The Wire. And I know that’s a very lofty comparison but some of the lines that Rusty says were deep yet pretty epic in a non pretentious way (cue “Time is like a  . . .”). So Season 2 had a lot to live up too. And I was afraid too. Maybe not afraid but I definitely had some trepidation about it. So much of what was right about Season 1 was gone by Season 2- Cary Joji Fukunaga, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson (and Alexandra D’addario).

Ennui

“We’ll never know what this is, till we take a look inside,

I’m sure we’ll find, what came before it dies.”

He remembered only figments. Hints of a previous life he must have had. That was the only plausible explanation.
