क्योंकि मिलेनियल्स भी कभी जेन-झी थे... (थे ना?) दौर बदला है, तरीक़े बदले है, अल्फ़ाज़ बदले है, पर तोशिस वही है।"बड़े हमारी बात नहीं सुनते!" देखो बात बस इतनीसी है, बोलना सब चाहते है, सुनना कोई नहीं चाहता।ग़लती से कुछ सुन भी ले तो वह समझने के लिए नहीं, ज़वाब देने के लिए। ऐसे संवाद … Continue reading Kyonki Millenials Bhi Kabhi Gen-Z They… →

Shallow Seas

All of life is a coming home. Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, beekeepers, sword swallowers, all of us. All the restless hearts of the world, all trying to find a way home.

The new found lens

Sorry Atul

It is impossible to not feel sad, depressed and hopeless having read about the Atul Subhash suicide case. There are too many facets to the story and I am utterly incompetent to make a holistic argument of it and probably unwilling to say too much, however, there are few things that I wish to express … Continue reading Sorry Atul →
