As we grow older, we have more years behind us to study the way things were and they always seem better than now. By all the changes we create a space to reflect on the way things were for us when the days were sweeter. But it must be noted that there is nothing new […]

TIRED GODDESS – Dr. POORVA TIWARI
Have you ever seen a tired goddess? I have seen one. It was a chance meeting. On 29th November, 2024 I went to have lunch at the Taj Mahal Hotel (TMH) Abids, Hyderabad. This is one of the landmark hotels and places at Hyderabad. The food here is heavenly and has high hygiene standards. After […]
DEATH IS LIFE!
“What lives that does not live from the death of someone else?” This is a profound statement. The lone truth of the living. This statement is found in the initial credits of a 1980s German movie “NEKROMANTIK” which was banned at that time. The director wanted to create a stunning paralytic and unforgettable experience through […]
CHICKEN MEAT BIRYANI
What is it called? Chicken Biryani or Chicken meat Biryani? This dilemma continues for me. Let me explain with the help of a relatable example. When do we stop calling a person as ‘man’? A male child is born. We begin to call him as ‘man’ from his 20th year. We say ‘He has grown […]
THE MUSIC OF HUNGR
Music of Hunger – Left sugar in all its artificial forms just over a month ago. I am very conscious in avoiding it. Except some fruits (natural sugar), I am not having sugar in any form.

TIME FOR SALE
If there is one thing, I have in plenty in an inexhaustible way, is TIME. I have no property; no food; no knowledge; no commitments. I want all these, but they cunningly elude me. And there is money – it sticks to me as thickly as a rain drop sticks to a rain coat! Thus […]
A LIFE WELL LIVED
Early morning today, while going to the library, I saw this pigeon – dark bluish ash color – sitting on the ground in the front yard of my house. From its look I understood that it was old. The bird was in the middle of my front yard. It has stopped flying. Its majestic wings, […]
NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING!
I have many favorite quotes. One such quote is from “The Master and Margarita”: “Never ask for anything! Never and nothing, and especially those who are stronger than you. They will offer and give everything themselves.” The Master and Margarita is a novel written by soviet writer Mikhail Bulgakor. This book was written during Joseph […]
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS AND FAT SALARIES
Why did I employ the constitutional officers like a PM, the council of ministers at the center and a CM and his ministers at the state level? Why am I paying big fat salaries to them? a) Am I employing them to clean the roads in the name of clean India or whatever you may […]
GANGI GOVU PAALU – Which idiot wrote such a stupid poem?
An anecdote as told by my father: My Tayaji (my father’s elder brother) late Shri. Atmaram ji was reading the following Telugu Vemana Shatakamu poem aloud when he was in his 3rd class. గంగిగోవు పాలు గరిటెడైనను చాలు కడివెడైననేమి ఖరము పాలు భక్తి కలుగు కూడు పట్టెడైననుచాలు, విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ. అర్థము: మంచి ఆవు పాలు కొన్ని ఉన్నా చాలు. గాడిద పాలు […]
