It’s been a really really long time I penned something…am actually in the middle of a very exciting role change at my firm…will now don the mantle of a brand manager, for an upcoming real estate website we are close to launching….some very very interesting days ahead!!

Elemental Irony…

Every time it feels like heaven
You’re the reason why I live
Leaving me so breathless so often
You’re the air I need to live
Making me dance in a sudden downpour
You’re the shelter I seek in rain
Igniting a fire somewhere deep within
You’re the one who keeps me unscathed
The earth I put my feet firmly upon
You make me fall for you every time we meet
An enigma I never could understand
You’re the one I totally love…

There was once a crappy movie named english babu desi mem….if i take this kinda comparison forward, and talk about desi babus english mems instead, where the ‘babus’ represent any of the zillions of governmentbodies, and ‘mems’ represent the internet (!), it throws up some interesting websites!

India is a land of infinite possibilities. A land of infinite definitions.
The way I feel about India is perhaps best captured by these images I had taken (first 2 in chawri bazar, new delhi, and the third one in Worli, mumbai)….India is a land grappling with modernization, globalization, development….grappling, because while we’re taking immense pride in the 8% gdp growth numbers, and the offshoring opportunities, besides n number of development indices, we still struggle to come to terms with basic issues….stealing electricity, lawlessness, uninhibited population, traffic congestion in metros, pitiable roads, corruption….i can go on and on….but the winds, they sure are a changing……its refreshing to be in India at this historical crossroad….a country the world is looking up to, for driving the next round of growth. Amen.

My ode to the thousands who perished in the Godhra massacre…

As life trickles along……..

A mirror in sight……

I was wandering around,
While wondering aloud
Or was it the other way round?
I have lost track really
The relations have ceased to exist
Almost like a mind under siege….

Dreaming Aloud…

I once had some dreams
Visions of a life lived well
Far away from all the screams
Lost in myself, so much at peace
A walk in the clouds, hand in hand
Hoping the bliss would never end
