Yes, the visit to the Isle of Skye a couple of years was as enchanting as they come. Those snow laden mountains, the never ending landscape that refuses to disappear and the collage of the magnificent towns that remain engulfed in the purity of Mother Nature! What a lovely throwback! Thank you for the moments.

Waves of Life
Every time I look at them, the innocence and the arrogance culminating in the same frame stuns you. It comes, goes back, comes again with rejuvenated strength and then disappears before emerging again. Every time, it comes back – a bit more stronger, with more conviction but very fragile at the same time. Anything builtContinue reading “Waves of Life”
Animal – Vengeance Reloaded
I could derive a few meaningful lessons from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’. Yes, amidst all the criticism despite blockbuster Box Office numbers, I decided to watch the movie, exempt from certain prejudices and expectations. First things first. ‘Animal’, ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Arjun Reddy’ are not the first films in Indian Cinema to depict and propelContinue reading “Animal – Vengeance Reloaded”
Welcome 2024 ~ Cheers to a year of hopes 🍺❤️🙏
2023 – I won’t mince words, it was a disappointing year for us. But as we close in, it all seems forgotten and worth it (arguably!). But, valuable lessons learnt and I am back with the energy and enthusiasm that I am usually known for. I have learnt to manage my own expectations, underplay overwhelmingContinue reading “Welcome 2024 ~ Cheers to a year of hopes 🍺❤️🙏”

When Test Cricket stood tall.
The famous Aussie win in Edgbaston notwithstanding, the Ashes opener was also a defining statement for the detractors who strongly believe that Test cricket is on its way to a resounding decline. The first test in Birmingham was a great advertisement for Test cricket, and watching the top 2 test teams battling it out onContinue reading “When Test Cricket stood tall.”
A Sunday in Sand
Dunbar did have moments of glory – a quite coastal town that has shades of North Berwick (the similarities are evidently visible), a very silent, sleepy town with the only salient features being the exquisite sand, the glittering waters and the semblance of sunshine.
Sky. Blue.
Amidst all the ruins, I still aspire to be me. Looking above doesn’t make me feel small. Rather, the indomitable spirit of the aerial demons cajole and provoke to take that leap beyond limitations and apprehensions. Honestly, the above kind of undermines my situation at the moment, supersedes the ‘hope’ element and completely washes itContinue reading “Sky. Blue.”
God’s 50!
When I walked in to the Lords museum in 2014, this was the first thing I saw, and you couldn’t miss it. And, that was just so enough and fulfilling and by all means a definitive ‘goosebump’ moment for a quintessential fanboy. In fact, it kind of sums it up so spectacularly. ‘God of Cricket’Continue reading “God’s 50!”
Emotions Uncertain
The Storm
Some are visible, most of them are not. It’s not the turbulence outside that bothers me, it’s the unknown which haunts you to the core. Perhaps the price you pay for being ambitious, or just the feeling that some things don’t work for you is beyond the factors of inevitability. You want to accept theContinue reading “The Storm”
Paradise in Mayhem – S01E02
Love Cathy met Jacob when she was 5 years old. He was 11 then and used to spend a lot of time in his father’s bakery which was just adjacent to Cathy’’s. Their parents have been running the bakery business since the last 30 years, and have seen the worst since. Jacob lost his fatherContinue reading “Paradise in Mayhem – S01E02”
