(We interrupt our regular programming to bring you something that MUST go out of my head before I spontaneously combust.) Not only is Bruno Mars ruining every woman’s concept of a macho man, of a metrosexual man, of a normal man, he is also responsible for bringing ideas into girls’ heads that have no semblance … Continue reading »

This video made smile, spoke to me in ways I had forgotten songs ever did. Here’s to you, Husband. You’ve made me believe. When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to reassemble it And my momma swore … Continue reading »
Hit me.
Back when House was still riveting (now they’re just stretching it on – and the only reason why hardcore fans like me still watch it is because of Hugh Laurie’s huge blue eyes), the soundtrack not only related to House but to also a lot of other things going on in your life. The last … Continue reading »

“All the best stories are but one story in reality – the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.” – A. C. Benson My mom is a romantic. She believes in things I gave up on when I turned twelve. She believes karma … Continue reading »
Part 2: Music.
Part 2 of this. When Khuda Ke Liye was released, a lot of drawing rooms and classrooms sprung into the ‘music is halaal or haraam?’ debate. Lot of people had a lot of opinions, as always, but the greatest words of wisdom came from my then-19-year-old brother, Ali. “There are a lot of things forbidden in … Continue reading »
Of TV and other devils.
As I write this I twist and turn on my chair in what can only be a boogie step to the music of Ali Azmat’s “Dil Ne Dil Se Kaha”. Social Circus was a great album and I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. True rock, in Pakistan, died after Junoon. Now all we’ve got … Continue reading »

So while I was doing ‘fruitography‘ (I’m insane, B knows that, and after at least fifty ‘click click’ noises, he turned around … Continue reading »
What a woman wants.
Freud asked, “What do women want?” Clearly he hadn’t heard explored the subcontinent. Women in the Asian subcontinent know exactly what they want. Marriage, kids, two cars in the porch and a husband who says exactly what he’s supposed to. Like in the matters of, “Honey, do I look fat to you?” “No, sweetie, you’d … Continue reading »
Day 13.
You’re never safe from being surprised until you’re dead, said Mrs. Rachel Lynde. That’s one of those life-statements you wish you’d made before the other person. So I continue to be shocked every time I check my blog stats. Referrals, more like. This time it’s: hari mirch pictures slumdog millionaire song with gunshots (sherlock, this … Continue reading »
