Addiction: Double Standards in Society

The recent passing of actor Matthew Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing in “Friends,” sparked my thoughts on addiction and how we have differing views on various forms of it.

But while reading through his journey, I got reminded of the talk I had attended …

Born a Crime

I have always been a person who believed in getting the most from every experience and not doing anything for just fun. Even while reading a book, I needed to get the full essence and learnings of the book. I have now come to realise that may be that is the reason why I never stuck to the habit of reading books. When I used to miss on a single line, I used to go back and read all over …

The Bus Ride

I took a bus ride almost 3 years later and it brought back a lot of memories. I have been a sucker for public transport to travel within the city and would find any way possible to travel in one over a cab or auto. Next on my favourite travel mode is an auto and then the Bengaluru Metro. Back in my school days, none of the bus routes were in way that I could reach home sooner than walking …

The Move

I write this as I complete my 1 month of moving into a new place. It has been a month! Seems like the longest yet the shortest month of my life.

I think it came from a question I …

From an entire picture made from colored rice to a big painted canvas. Some of my friends took a topic up and made an informative presentation on chart paper and some just took the shortcut of getting what their elder siblings displayed in the …
