It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times, and when the clock stuck 13, people rejoiced. The danger was gone, or so they thought. Dec 12, 2012, widely believed to be the end of the world according to the Mayan calender, was proven to be a fantasy, a fallacy of […]

It was dark. But darkness was always my ally. In the cover of the night, I stealthy move, but not too slow. Speed is essential. I was there to do what I do best, collect the scattered treasure. I am a bounty hunter, an adventurer, a shadow in the darkness and connoisseur of wealth. Essentially […]

Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus-Nothing beats a high sounding Latin phrase in the beginning of a literary prose. It’s the sign of the erudite. Rather it shows how you can come up with something classy with the right phrase in Bing(trying to be loyal to the company that feeds me). Dragons are suddenly the in thing […]

It’s a pleasant walk to the train, provided you are a fitness freak. For me, it is nothing sort of a daily bother. The 1 mile stretch goes through a university and New England architecture styled houses. It’s pretty nice, provided you can walk. What makes a great morning? A pretty girl smiling as she […]

That is the statement from Section 377 of […]

Perusing through some of my favourite genre of fantasy and science fiction,  I came across the interesting trilogy- Divergent by Veronica Roth. Ignoring the seemingly boring moments of romance between the 2 main protagonists,  it brings forward an interesting concept of dividing the human civilization into factions according to the facets displayed by each person.  […]

Although I am getting older but none the more wiser,  I have a fascination for superheroes.  While I maintain my stoic disposition,  inside I am screaming with joy when the bad guys are being bashed up.  Maybe I will never really grow up.  Consider the alternate DC universe of batman,  superman,  the justice League,  the […]

What would you consider the greatest unifying factor in our country? With diversity every square mile, it’s difficult to pin point a particular trait that would represent India. However I would take this opportunity to bring out an ancient power that was hidden in the realms of time, a powerful entity whose full influence is […]
