I still remember that ordinary Sunday morning sometime in mid-July when I woke up with thoughts about how to fill my day with something productive for the kids and at the same time entertaining for me too.   Little did I know that by afternoon my Whatsapp would be flooded with every group forwarding videos and pictures of this Black Range Rover whose driver would be faced by an implausible intervention a.k.a his wife literally showing up in front of his car and accusing him of some very dubious deeds. A serious conflict ensued between the two which quickly led to the wife dragging the husband into another car and driving off leaving the passers-by and even the traffic policemen wide-eyed and gaping at the drama that had just unfolded in front of their eyes in broad daylight.   Of course, one of the by standers managed to quickly whisk out his mobile device and capture the palpable spectacle playing out right in front of his eyes which led to the video going viral on every soci...

So, this is a question that I’ve asked myself innumerable times since the beginning of this pandemic and the thereafter lockdown. I have even attempted to question a few of my friends and always got evasive and very contrasting answers. So, I decided to do what I do best nowadays and put pen to paper and dwell deeper ...    It’s a half serious question but serious food for thought.

I could definitely add some wicked sense of humour to the otherwise grim situation but I don’t know how much that would be needed in these times of practicalities.    But what else could I offer? What useful skills do I possess? I consider myself to be quite the multi tasker, ju...

To My Beloved,   I want to start off by telling you that I really enjoyed my last few months with you.  Honestly, I didn’t realize we would be spending this much time together when this pandemic started.  Before all this struck us, it used to be only those occasional Sundays. But now date night seems like I’m going down the Black Hole and seems to stretch longer than the mozzarella cheese of that New York pizza you ate in that tiny restaurant in Nolita just off Soho in Lower Manhattan last summer. And why you may ask do I still remember that particular time? It’s because I yet get a whiff of the vodka sauce of the pizza and it leaves me all nostalgic as I think about the first time you laid your eyes on me. Right after lunch you popped into the Lulu Lemon store next door and tried me on and lo and behold ... we were the perfect fit!  It's like we were meant to be!It was love at first sight!Sigh!!! I’ll never forget the first night we spent together! You decided to sn...
