I watched The Dark Knight Rises over the weekend and thought that I will write a blog about how marvelous the movie was and hoped to inject some funny ideas that I had of my own but after watching the news recently, I decided to do a 180 and write a serious post. Recently in the news was how a minor in Guwahati was molested by a mob of 14 (or 17 depending on which news outlet you follow) that was (allegedly) instigated by a member of a local media group. His name is Gaurav Jyoti Neog.   The photos of the molesters were posted across the city and some of them were even arrested. The ring-leader (Amar Jyoti Kalita) was still missing until a few days ago and has been apprehended. Fucker had absconded to Varanasi . Probably to wash his sins in the Ganga . The Assam police have the fucking audacity to say that they cannot be at every place w

I used to be a very important part of your life during your days in VESIT. I played a crucial part in your car travels and you couldn't do without me - even if you wanted to. The glory days were so memorable for me and then it all faded. Your brother sold off the FIAT, dangled the money in your face, happy about it and all & soon you too headed off for greener pastures in the US . While I can understand your ambition of higher studies and a better lifestyle, you didn't even bother to think what would happen to me? Your other 3 "mates" were still there for you and you had ample "use" for them.

The United States is built for such ruthlessness and for most mortals, only the 3 Idiots are required. Even during your India trips, you didn't have the need to "use" me. And now, you'

Life has become routine now. No more airs about "US Return" (never had any to begin with, but whatever traces might have been there is now history). Tennis and Cricket (and occasionally Football, thanks to Euro 2012) are slowly becoming part of everyday existence and maybe, that's a good thing. No Avengers , no Rowdy Rathore , no Ferrari ki Sawari , no Prometheus but watched Gangs of Wasseypur this past weekend and I was truly floored. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie and the best part of this is I am actually waiting eagerly for Part II (yup, Anurag Kashyap made this into a 6-hour epic that was screened at Cannes ). Just started to put together "the list" of things to do and to buy here at home and it has already gone past the so-called budget (just kidding) I had in mind. But, these are a priority now that I am back and soon, K will be and these important things were in the back of the mind for the longest time. Twice in the recent months, I have fl
