What Chair?
It was final exams for batch of about 100 students of philosophy. All students assembled and were seated anxiously to get the question paper so that they could start answering them. Examiner comes, instead of handing out questions papers, he writes the question on board. This time the exam was different. One questions only.

Read MoreMoustache & Marriage
“Will you shave your moustache when we get married” These were the exact words, that broke the silence in a taxi moving through Mumbai city. Year 1997.

Read MoreFat Indian Women
… and men too. Has anyone wondered why India as a nation has so many fat people? Supposed to be a poor developing nation and yet, you find so many fat people. I exempt the older generation but what about those below … let’s say 50? Big hard shelled bellies, flab dangling around arms, legs and hips. Some even have flab around neck and face. Is is just the food? Life style? Negligence? What is it? I know by now, many of you have prepared an answer in back of your mind. You are probably right in your answer. I think differently.
