Grandfather: A paradigm of life
A room, a bit untidy in one corner of the house. The rest part of the house can be modern except this room.

Unfamiliarity
'We imitate nature, nature imitates us' Some incidents can shake us so profoundly that we're compelled to question the law of nature.

“Baba Ka Dhaba-2nd Edition”
I have been hearing this name not after the Malviya Nagar incident of elderly couple, trying to satiate the hunger of people by providing pocket friendly food but since a long time. I used to come across this name most often whenever I used to travel by state or national highways. What is unique in … Continue reading “Baba Ka Dhaba-2nd Edition”
A Tribute to ‘SSR’
Remembering Sushant Singh Rajput(1986-2020) इतना प्यार और सपोर्ट हमसे सुशांत को पहले दिया होता तो शायद वो आज हमारे बीच होते। बहुमुखी प्रतिभा के धनी, सुशांत का अभिनय और से अलग तथा बिल्कुल नेचुरल है जैसे लगता ही नहीं की वो एक्टिंग कर रहे हो, लगता है जैसे वो जी रहे हो उस पल को, … Continue reading A Tribute to ‘SSR’
