Five stupid things I’ve done under the influence of alcohol

I’m known to have the alcohol drinking capacity of a 5 year old. Not that 5 year olds drink alcohol. Or maybe they do. Kids are grow up really quickly these days. But that’s besides the point.

Here’s my wall of shame.

Note: It contains only the stuff that I can still remember and [...]

Day One

So here are 15 facts about me. Those who know me or read my blog would probably know some of them. But here goes.

I have a scar on the corner of my left eyebrow. It was a birthday gift from my sister on my 12th birthday. She was chasing me around the house [...]

First things first. The Backstreet Boys are so 1997. The Nick Carter middle-parted hairdo that you are going for is just not working. You have thick bushy, often curly hair. You cannot pull off the straight-silky-bouncy hair look. So stop trying already.

You cannot look like him

You turn 16 [...]

Drug tests and Flu shots

This happened a few years ago. I was starting at my first job the day after Presidents Day and needed to get a drug test done. And very smartly, I decide to schedule it 2 days before my first day of work and 2 hours after I land in New York after a 15 [...]

Laundry tales

So remember how I’m like the king of awkward moments? Yep. The following is another similar embarrassing incident that will forever be etched in my wretched mind.

Rewind to a few years ago. Circa 2007. I was a lowly graduate student in New York City. Barely making ends meet. Living paycheck to paycheck. Had [...]

I’m bored, hence I tagged myself

I jacked this tag from a blog I frequently visit. Here’s my take on it.

What is your current obsession? Perfecting my biryani recipe, and learn to heat a paratha without tripping the smoke alarm. What are you wearing today? A business suit. What’s for dinner? Paneer makhni, mango achar, parathas and a glass [...]

Some guys just can’t pee right

I’ll start with a confession: On the huge-ass floor that my desk is located on, I almost always end up using the restroom closest to my desk. More so, when I need to pee, I will, without fail, visit the central stall. Even if the central stall is occupied and the others aren’t, I [...]

Cheap Thrills

One of the few quirky (and possibly dumb) things that makes me super happy happened a few days ago.

My closet-sized studio is on the 19th floor of my 34 story apartment building. Statistically, approximately half the people getting into the elevator with me should hit a button less than 19. The other half [...]

A Midsummer Update

A few noteworthy observations about my life these past few months-

Relegated to the Jersey office, for what I hope will be a temporary thing. I miss my city, I miss it’s ever so vibrant nature, I miss my Chicken Shahi Korma from Minar, I miss being crushed in the train to work in [...]
