Random Musings #58: …, Women are from Venus!

I wake up much earlier than I should or need to. Then I toss and turn or at least that’s what I think I do. “More like a series of mini earthquakes”, is how the wife describes it. Her pet peeve is also that I have my phone by the…

Random Musings#57: Hook, Line and Sinker!

“How old do you think I am?” I cast the rod in a smooth forward movement releasing the line and the lure falls right above the fish. Of all the types of fishing that I do, for compliments that is, this is what I like and do most! Just this…

Random Musings #56: The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!

Idioms are different from tropes. The Oxford dictionary defines an idiom as ‘a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words’. A trope, on the other hand, is defined by the same dictionary as ‘a figurative or metaphorical use of…

Random Musings #55: Present, the Past of the Future!

The taxi came to a stop. On a busy street lined on both sides by shops and cafes. The driver turned around and said “We are there”. Noticing the puzzled expression on my face, he gestured towards the line of shops to our left and added “Walk between and through…

Random Musings # 54: Purple Patch!

Circadian Rhythm! Some phrases are as musical as they are meaningful. This particular one hits the right notes on both counts. Circadian suggests, by how it sounds, to me at least, the song of birds or the buzz of insects. Latin though and so, actually, meaning something else. Circa diem…

Random Musings # 53: Stuff the Cold!

“Have you cut or bruised yourself…” asks the wife, “…from last evening’s games?”. She was referring to my Thursday evening sport - let me clarify. Just in case! Towel around my waist, I have sauntered back into the bedroom after a morning shower. She points to the floor on my…

Random Musings #52: Morning Glory!

I do not think that there are any prudes out there, ever — now or before. Not you, for sure! So, I can start by safely saying that I am not writing about that Morning Glory! Another aspect of which is that I believe that women experience it too!! I…

Random Musings #51: Diff’rent Strokes!

Rupavahini (RV) was like the city cousin, who came visiting. Visiting Doordarshan (DD), in this instance! DD’s standard fare was black and white tear-jerker movies from the ’60s, a much-looked-forward-to 30 minute compilation of song sequences from then current movies - both once a week - and otherwise, Carnatic &…

Random Musings #50: Milestones!

“Bayees tak padhai, pachis pe naukri, chabees pe chokri, thees pe bachche, saat pe retirement aur phir maut ka intezaar… (study till the age of 22, employed by 25, marry at 26, children by 30, retirement at 60 and then a wait for the end…) …is not the type of…

Random Musings #49: Flyin’ High!

Light shone out through the small and evenly spaced out rectangles. Windows with borders adorned by a red motif, akin to those of palaces. I gaze at them intensely, focusing hard, trying to see what is inside. But able to only imagine the wondrous world behind the glass panes. No less than a magic carpet flying a privileged few to distant…
