An Ode to Humsafar.

(We interrupt regular programming – actually, this IS the regular programming. I’ve been interrupting THAT for my fictional tales that seem to have taken over this poor blog.) While there have been absolutely brilliant blogs (read some of them here, here and here) and terribly true parodies (I’m sure you are all familiar with the … Continue reading »

Bruno Sahab. Ye kia baat hui?

(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 »

Yeah. I’m politically incorrect.

Apparently it’s deeply important for everyone to be a bleeding heart liberal to be famous nowadays. Not that I blame them. When you watch shows that star witty people like Jon Stewart against demonizing crazy people like Wolf Blitzer and you’ve got genuine looking people protesting on Wall Street against ‘greed’ whereas swagger-filled scumbag billionaires … Continue reading »

Day 13. This isn’t getting better.

The Uncle, sweet and considerate, gave me an hour long lecture … with a preface on Beheshti Zevar and it started at 8.39 pm and ended at 9.24 and by 9.26, when our building arrived and I opened … Continue reading »

And you know how before you ever had one kid, you thought about having at least four. And then you had that one … 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 »

The Sex Dilemma.

Albert Ellis claimed that people are essentially hedonistic. We want pleasure, we try to avoid trying to make life difficult for ourselves. So he came up with the theory of irrational beliefs in which he stated that when we are troubled by our own thoughts, when we are in pits of depression or become phobic … Continue reading »

Day 20.

Let’s talk about love. Baby.  Or so said the song. In fact. Let’s NOT talk about love. Let’s talk about Valentiners. Z and her hubby F came over and we all went out for dinner. We scourged the windows and Z insisted she wanted to buy me something. When we settled down to eat at … Continue reading »
