I know this sounds cynical and insulting to our great scientists...
I would rather that the Indian government looks at the craters on the road I travel to work than worry about the geological composition of lunar craters.
Most of the artisitic minds in the planet are hidden behind factories, programmer's cubicles, management boardrooms, rickety offices. The turbulence here is that of an artist emerging out of a serenely settled engineer's life...

How are you doing?
As yet another call began with an inane "How are you doing?" from the other end.
I muttered silently "If you find me on the road in a pool of blood, would you rush me to the hospital or worry about the upholstery of your car"

Three coffees one conversation
One said "I don’t invest in stock markets and keep money in fixed deposits, see I am insulated from all this chaos"
Other said "You should never look to time the market. You should buy at each fall and sell after you have reached your target gains"
I realized why they ask people to be silent at a funerals.

Retirement
Good thing about cricketers is not their million dollar bank balances, beautiful bollywood women in their lives, travel around the world.
It is their ability to retire when they have had enough of the job they are in!

Meeting at the Airport
He met at her at the airport,serendipitous though. Words, college nostalgia, crush trivia & poetry later, they parted with each other's contact info.
He hurriedly got online, found her blog had nothing but tastefully laid out recipes and elaborate food photography. He reminisced the intense verses and rabid prose she embellished the college mag with. He got offline as swiftiy as he came in, when he realized the only person she was linkedin was her husband who surprisingly had 250 contacts. "oh loser" he muttered before he turned the TV on.
With a slight trepidation she opened his blog to find nothing but psycho-babble and wretched monologues. Wondered where his vivacity and wicked wit disappeared. Sadly, he had less than half the number of contacts that her hubby had in linkedin. "Poor one" she mumbled as she approved yet another comment from a desperate male on her blog thanking her for the recipe and asking her email address.
