Rather be considered an ungrateful asshole, than be caught up in the vicious circle of reciprocity of favours, both asked and unasked for.

Sometimes I wish we could talk to our own shadows. And they could talk back. Then we’d never be alone. Except on moonless nights.

Bombay versus Mumbai

One’s a city, the other a state of mind. Which is which, defines who you are.

Two words

Prosecution & Persecution

So close, yet so far. Yet so close.

In spelling, meaning, and reality, respectively.

Is

“If I could, I would”

slang for

“I ain’t got no balls to do that”

?

Everyone has a right to make their own decisions. They also have a responsibility to face the consequences of those decisions, even if they seem unfair and disproportionate. They go together. You can’t demand one and refuse the other.

Thought of accusing someone of taking the blue pill. Thought better. Accused them of not even earning a knock on the door.

Freedom of Expression

Two favourite quotes:

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” – Evelyn Beatrice Hall

“I love the idea of free speech – it gives everyone a right to willingly demonstrate their biases, ignorance and even idiocy” – Romeo Bravo Xray

Which are yours?

All, but the brave, are brave in a mob.

Feeling bad for @julykatrae, no one @-mentions her or DMs her anymore. Other than me, that is. Show her some love, twitter!

2 small pints of beer and 3 tequila shots got me reasonably drunk. Not happy with myself. Off to sleep. Hopefully.

One night I take off to go drinking with friends and riots start off in Tottenham. London really can’t do without its super hero!

That frustrating feeling when you feel the tears welling up inside but they refuse to come out. Just finished reading: Half of a yellow sun.

From a family caught in civil war to families caught in Mumbai’s redevelopment fraud. From Chimamanda Adichie to Arvind Adiga. #Books

The ‘Ravi Shastri’ of Triathlon coverage just commented “he’s the picture of pain and the model of courage…’ :D #BBC
