I try to say a lot while saying very little. Get used to it.
india continues
I get a breather for a few days after Bangalore, Mayiladurai, Thirrakadaiyur and Trichy.. and return to the insanity of Bombay. To prepare for the next stage of insanity.
I have returned from one of the more memorable trips I’ve made recently.. most significant for opening my eyes to the world that is the real India, the India I want to return to and do something for, the India we can only hear about nowadays, the India that I only hope never dies. No matter how much we try outside the country, there is no way to replicate the uniqueness that I have lived for 3 days.
Yes, I’m gushing. Live with it while I run off to ensure the missus doesn’t run away from me.
No trackbacks yet.

Stuff that struck me while reading about Sachin Tendulkar’s nearly unbelievable* feat, most of which will be repeated everywhere I look over the next few days/weeks:
On this day 21 years ago He completed a 664-run partnership with Kambli. Twenty-f*ckin-one.
His 200 contained 25 boundaries (the most by a single batsman in an ODI till date) More >

It’s been too, too long.
Wish I had a good excuse.
Maybe this one: “Marriage does that to you.” Or even: “Things change like this after marriage.”
At the very least, marriage gives you a scapegoat that most married men will commiserate with. “Yes, yes.. I know what you mean.” Its either commiseration or a devilish satisfaction (as More >

Need I say more?
I can’t quite believe it myself.
Faux pas admission (18th Jan 2010): In my calculating of dates/times in IST and EST, I kinda mucked up and jumped the gun by 24 hours But hey, she just becomes a Mrs. missus
Thanks for the wishes, all.

The time has come.
Back to India.
Madness. All centered around me. And the missus. But me too!
There will probably be no posts for a bit here. I’m not live-blogging my own wedding, or even live-tweeting my honeymoon
Speaking of which, that is probably going to be the best birthday ever
It has taken its More >

I’ve spoken more than once about my games while growing up. The cape on my shoulders: the flight, the jumping of buildings in a single bound. The vines: the jungles, the swinging and leaping through dense trees galore. The battle(s) with evil foes: the multiple times each one had to be beaten into submission. To More >

Looking out the window, I recognized familiar landmarks. The things you see every day, that become part of a routine; and then one day you see them no more. I was dropped at the corner as I had been all those years ago. I started a walk I had done every day for nearly 4 More >

Engines whir, and I watch as the plane passes the runway, the adjoining highway, then another, and another…then they blur together amongst the millions of blinking lights that make up the streets and homes of Bombay. I desperately try to retain a final picture in my mind as the coast approaches. The plane banks into More >

And I remain obsessed with StickCricket, even as my mom pointedly mentions that I am now supposed to be reallly growing up – given that I’ve hooked the missus. Not taken her, just hooked.
Now for my annual sojourn of Bombay, and a visit to my school after a really really long time.
