Meandering thoughts...: Where we react to that episode of that TV show
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2015/05/where-we-react-to-that-episode-of-that.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Where we react to that episode of that TV show. I just watched that. Episode of Grey's Anatomy. The one from a few weeks ago, the one that everyone who knows the show exists knew about within minutes of it happening, because this is not a fandom that is able to contain its spoilers. The episode reminded me of this conversation. I remember thinking if just the thought.

Meandering thoughts...: Conversations from yesteryears
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2010/10/conversations-from-yesteryears.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Sunday, October 17, 2010. That showed up in my timeline a few hours ago reminded me of one of those strange and morbid conversations that get ingrained in your memory, that took place between the father and me more than a decade ago. Meanderings by a traveller. Memories are the darnest things. It would take me 24 hours to get back? What if, in those 24 hours, their life changes? I was in Chandig...

Meandering thoughts...: April 2015
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Thursday, April 23, 2015. I have these nights, occasionally, when I don't get sleep all night. They used to happen only when I went home to India and was jetlagged - I always had that one night of staying up. But over the last year or so, they've happened a few times for no discernible reason. So, this coworker. Conversations with her are quite straightforward and fun, and she has a fairly m...

Meandering thoughts...: Picking a date
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2013/07/picking-date.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Pick a date, the brother says. Just pick a damn date, and I'll agree to it. Pick a date, I said a week ago. Don't keep telling me. We have to take a decision and we have to fix a date. Just do it. Pick a date, the mother says. I need to know what we're thinking. We need to pick a date, the father says. Tuesday morning. The very last time my foot was used as a pillow.

Meandering thoughts...: The Dark Knight: My reaction
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2008/08/dark-knight-my-reaction.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Saturday, August 23, 2008. The Dark Knight: My reaction. Oh my God I am just back from seeing The Dark Knight and I absolutely have to talk about it because it was so freakin' brilliant. I sound like an excited teenager. Ok. Breathe. Seriously, the movie is. There's this line The Joker maaroes. Somewhere along the way:. 8220;Do I look like i have a plan? Meanderings by a traveller. The only Batm...

Meandering thoughts...: June 2015
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Monday, June 29, 2015. Where we ramble about Anuja Chauhan's books. Much as I have loved Anuja Chauhan's books ever since I first read The Zoya Factor seven years ago, I have always hated them a little bit too. There, I said it. At least two readers of this blog can now gasp in outrage. The rest of you probably couldn't care less. Which prompted this post. I knew my face was wearing the smug exp...

Meandering thoughts...: Halka Aunty style
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2015/04/halka-aunty-style.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. One of the nicest things about the company I work for is that, for the most part, they really don't care how you dress. We moved to a casual dress code a while back, and so as long as you're not meeting customers or external partners (or y'know, working in Finance), it's jeans and a sweatshirt every single day if you want. I had bought a few weeks ago (along with green...

Meandering thoughts...: Where by we, we mean I
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2015/06/where-by-we-we-mean-i.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Where by we, we mean I. Let us get announcements out of the way first. There is a wedding in the family this winter. It is not. Ours, so shoo. We are tremendously. We might be talking like this a bit because we have been reading Anuja Chauhan's latest book. For us. So the first line uttered in every shop we entered was invariably:. Now the other problem is current fashi...

Meandering thoughts...: The odd flashback
http://dustyrain.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-odd-flashback.html
A chronicle of the universe's conspiracies against me. Frequent rants. Some nostalgia. The occasional gushing. Thursday, April 09, 2015. I was reminded of this moment earlier today, on my drive to work. It's been windy and cloudy for the last few days, with stormclouds threatening to burst but never quite getting there. And this morning was no different as I drove. But then I turned right, and then got on the expressway a minute later, and suddenly my car was bathed in sunlight. It was a nice moment.
