I try to say a lot while saying very little. Get used to it.
i just got married
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.

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 >
my event of a lifetime

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 >

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 >
what is my super-power?

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 >
vestigial recollections and resolutions

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 >

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, More >

It was time.
His left foot depressed the clutch, his right the accelerator, one hand grasped the steering wheel in a vice while the other manipulated the gear box in a frenzy of movement. 0-1-2-25-3-40-4-55-5-60… gears at max, his hands both clenched the steering wheel as the car barreled down the road. The road in front More >
senescence

I never really realized how the people around me have aged until very recently. Somehow the people I knew when I left India were not people who could grow old. They had dark hair, glowing faces and were always larger than life. And yet, since the day I’ve left.. every time I go back, I More >
