One day, I aspire to be as cool as the guy who runs Irish Castle Café in this cramped space in GK-2. The man shows up to work once a week, at around 1:34 pm and sits with his feet crossed, on the table facing the customers. He stays for about 3 hours or so, until he gets bored and runs out of...

I don't fucking understand, why is all my feed going nuts over Taylor Swift when Beck's coming out with new material at the same fucking time? IS EVERYONE I DEAL WITH GOING THROUGH A NUTTY BREAKUP? I also don't understand the need for memes that read, "I won't be impressed with technology until it allows me to download food." Well, first of all,...

If places could be personified, then SDA might be the only place in Delhi which would have seen most of my dates and I, together. It's strange, if you think about it.

"How did you celebrate your birthday?" "I'm going to go to Barbecue Nation for dinner." "Oh man, every parent I know loves that place." "Ofcourse, Barbecue Nation is like a 28 year old Hindu Brahmin engineer boy who owns an i10, has an MBA degree from a university abroad and he knows how to talk." "...Wow." "Yeah man, all parents lose their mind...

Dear Photographers, Why must you insist on making everyone's lives miserable around you? I see you with gaudily dressed couples who insist on crossing the road in front of my car when I am heading towards Kasturba Gandhi Marg from India Gate. I judge you, and not the couple, for the road opposite KG Marg doesn't even have the best view for pre-wedding...
