Shimla to Rohru Road: As bad as it can get

Published on मई 13, 2009

The only bright part of this route (Shimla to Rohru) is the stretch between Fagu and Theog. Else, my car seemed in shambles and falling apart. Each and every screw, howsoever rusted it was, seemed like falling apart. Many did. Total damage would be finally assessed once I take my car to the mechanic. From [...]


Chhailla Chowk to China: Himachal government throws security to the wind; even dogs getting extinct

Published on मार्च 13, 2009

This is not a first hand account. Rather I’ve heard it from different sources. The local MLA (member of legislative assembly) from Jubbal-Kotkhai, Narendra Baragta, recently, at a public rally to appease the common man, announced – “Yeh jo Ching-Ming hai na, jo apne desh mein bade bante hain, yahaan dekho hamaare liye sadak bana [...]


सर्दियों ओर लोहड़ी की कुछ बातें

Published on जनवरी 5, 2009

नितिन ने बचपन की याद दिला दी है, सर्दियों की छुट्टियों की बात करके।
वो लिखते हैं: “सर्दियाँ आख़िर आ ही गयीं। इस समय रात का एक बजा है और कडाके की ठण्ड पड़ रही है।  इस ठण्ड में आख़िर नींद कहाँ आने वाली है। सोचा क्यों न कुछ लिखा जाए। सर्दियाँ आते ही मुझे अपने [...]

Published on जनवरी 2, 2009

I’ve been missing from this place for long now. Nityin has just inspired me to write something. He wrote a year-round-up on his blog. Well, here’s mine. It’ll be more of personal, rather than a global round-up.
Where do I start? Well, it’s been more than a year now that I’m on medication for depression and [...]


From Bheegi Billi to Mischievous Cat

Published on नवम्बर 11, 2008

The past week has been eventful. With bad mood, controversies at the  job front and some learnings from relationships. Actually, I won’t call it a bad mood. It was kind of numbness, blankness and emptiness – a feeling I’ve had after a long long time. May be a year. May be because I’d been skipping [...]


Apna makes me Bheegi Billi

Shyalli ro goo laago bheda, se de kanda de po hogde. That’s an idiom in our Pahari language, that literally means that a Vaid (a doctor) found out that a Fox’s excreta can be used for a medicine. When the fox came to know about it, she swelled with pride and in her ego, went [...]

X-Ray

Published on जून 12, 2005

How does it feel to be under an X-Ray? Once, I was asked to go through it… It was a simple pre-anesthesia checkup…. an X-Ray of the chest… but an X-Ray for an operation of something else.
In a dark room, I patiently waited for my turn… with anxiety if these X-Rays would harm me or [...]


Technology slaves

Published on मई 4, 2005

It’s more than two hours in office and nothing seems to have been working till now. tried calling up Tina… she too switched off the phone. I don’t understand why the world carries mobiles when they have to not attend phone calls. And this thing bugs me often. I mean the whole thing… that we [...]
