From Air India 183 (30th May) to AI 1183 (31st May): A Fly on the Wall Account of 30 Hours of Chaos

Never in my 25 years of flying have I seen such mayhem. Will it fly, will it not? Now it’s boarding, now it’s not. There was shouting, screaming, panicky outbursts, troubling arguments between passengers and crew, almost physical punches being thrown (thank God it didn’t come to that). Exactly 17 years since my first trip […]

Life, Death, and the Gray Areas: My Unconventional Stance on Suicide

Suicide is a complex topic, often painted in broad strokes. Yet, I find myself seeing it in shades of gray rather than black and white. Let’s unpack this.

Rahul Gandhi: The Unintentional Comedian of Indian Politics

Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party’s golden boy and self-proclaimed messiah of the people, has yet again graced us with his profound wisdom. In his latest address, Gandhi spoke about ‘Shakti’ in Hinduism. The devout Shiv bhakt probably didn’t know that Shakti in Hinduism is Nari and the power of women. While his intentions may have […]

A Satirical Glance into Political Investment

Ah, the grand spectacle of elections. A time-honored tradition where democracy dances with capitalism in a waltz of vested interests and ulterior motives.

The Fallacy of India Alliance: A Crumbling Antimodi Coalition

In the chaotic dance of Indian politics, alliances form and dissolve with alarming frequency, leaving voters bewildered and leaders scrambling for relevance. The latest casualty in this political theatre is the India alliance, a ragtag assembly of opposition parties united by little more than their shared disdain for one man: Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Let’s […]

Farmers’ March: Rights and Roads Collide

Once again, the nation finds itself at a crossroads as farmers take to the streets in protest, their demands echoing through the corridors of power. It’s hard not to wonder if this sudden surge in protest is more about a political agenda than genuine grievances, especially with national elections looming large on the horizon. However, […]

Focus on the blur: Where cricket and TV shows meet!

For a very long time, I have believed IPL to be the best scripted reality show. In fact, the most socialist scheme ever, where the rich invests money and poor gets entertainment. Be it Bollywood movies, TV shows, reality shows or cricket, nowadays it is becoming difficult to differentiate between all of them. Cricket has […]

The Iconic Blue Bird Has Gone ft. Elon Musk

The blue bird of Twitter–an iconic symbol of the platform for over a decade has gone, but let’s be real; who needs tradition and history when you can have a goofy-looking dog that’s been plastered all over the internet for a few years? There is a famous saying, “Every dog has a day,” and the […]

China and Dubai: Two sides of the same coin?

In my travels, what I have noticed is that every country or city that I visit has its own flavor, its own vibe that fills me with an acute understanding of the place. And even if it is obvious it has to be mentioned that every single one of those places always differ from the […]
