Evolution
As human beings, we change, adapt, and grow with time. It’s the basics – The laws of evolution… We are no different. We’ve been swept away by the winds of change. We’ve grown, evolved, and become better human beings. The journey has not been a bed of roses. Not even close. There were thorns. Not…

Life, living, expectations, and social media
I saw this tweet the other day, and it left me thinking, because of the simple fact that I’ve been a victim of this EXACT situation. When I was 23, I felt that I had failed in life. My friends and loved ones seemed to agree. I had barely scraped through college. My bank balance…

5 Years with My Lady Liberty
In September 2018, my wife and I spent 10 days in New York City, on vacation. Visiting the Big Apple was a dream that dates back to the day I saw Home Alone 2 as a kid! The highlight of our trip was visiting Statue of Liberty, at Liberty Island on the Hudson River (in…

2020 So Far
The other day, I saw this tweet, which said that 16% of 2020 is over: It blew my mind. Part of me still believes that January 1, 2020 was just yesterday. As I write this, we’re on the last day of February 2020, and 16% of the year is over. Time (or your perception of…

Elementary, My Dear (Joan) Watson

The show’s highlight is that it’s set in NYC and has a female, Asian-American (!!) Joan Watson (Lucy Liu aces it in the role).…

Why Ranam Is One Of My Favourite Malayalam Movies Of All Time
If you’re a Malayalee or if you’ve been living in Kerala/following Malayalam Movies, you must have definitely heard of Ranam: Detroit Crossing. For the uninitiated, Ranam is a recently-released Malayalam movie – 99% of which was shot entirely in the U.S. (In Detroit, MI and Augusta, GA). The movie tells the story of Aadhi (played…

Meeting An Old Friend
Earlier today, I met an old friend from school – Govind. I honestly can't remember when we met last. Was it in 2015, for the wedding of a mutual friend? Or, did we get a chance to meet in 2014, before Govind enrolled for his MS Program in one of the top US Universities? He…

My First Job: A Memory With A Watermark
Most of us have ghosts from the past. I have my own share of skeletons in the closet – memories I'd rather delete from my mind, than let them pop up at the most inopportune of times. One among them, is my first 'job' (if I can even call it a job that is). Thanks…
