Girl:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
As per Facebook, I'm in a relationship with you.

Boy:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
I think I'm ready to share my WiFi password with you.

Girl:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
I just did an Instagram Live declaring my love for you.

Boy:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
This is getting serious, I deleted my Tinder account too.

Girl:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Do you remember, last night on the phone, I told you what I dream to do?

Boy:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Umm. Yes. You looked beautiful as you spoke. I love you.

Girl:
Roses are red. Violets are blue.
You don't remember? While talking to me, were you playing Pubg too?

Boy:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Excuse me, weren't you on browsing on Instagram too?

Girl:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
You love your phone more than me, I think I'm through.

Boy:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Your Facebook status says you are single. It must be true.

Roses are red, violets are blue.
They would have pined for a few days, but you know, on digital world, time just flew.
And they were both back on Tinder before they knew.

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

By
Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was...

Drumrolls and All That

By
In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A...
