I went to the US a while ago on holiday and had an amazing time. I was just looking through the photos and screenshots I had from the trip yesterday and noticed something interesting – you may be on holiday but your priorities are always the same Continue reading

Through the Camera Roll! #1
Ever look through your phone’s camera roll and think, WTF? I have recently and I am going to share those moments here. It is amazing to see what my week has been like just through photos. Disclaimer: These images were taken for fun or to share with friends over WhatsApp, they are far from professional. Here are some funny and strange photos I have found in my camera roll on my phone lately:
1. So I decided to create a tumblr to share all the random silly moments of my life in real-time. I know most people Continue reading
To kill or not to kill baby Hitler…
*This isn’t comedy or meant to be funny so if you are here to laugh or for something silly, check out another post :)*
The internet has been abuzz lately with Jeb Bush’s comment about baby Hitler. “If you could go back in time to when Hitler was a baby, would you kill him?” His answer was, “Hell yeah, I would!”
I enjoy thought experiments like these quite a bit. I like to think of such hypothetical questions and situations and ponder over what my response would possibly be. When I first read that question, Continue reading
Where words fail, music speaks…

“If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.” – Gustav Mahler.
I couldn’t agree with Gustav Mahler’s words more. Within the quote, there is the question of using specific languages or arts to communicate feelings and thoughts. Since English is my first language, I am going to use it to provide examples. English is an impressive language with a great number of synonyms for each word, many of which have different connotative degrees of intensity. For example, the simple word “happy,” which everyone is familiar with, has the synonyms “glad,” “joyous,” “elated” and “ecstatic” and each one seems

When my brother was diagnosed with autism…
*This isn’t comedy or meant to be funny so if you are here to laugh or for something silly, check out another post :)*
I was 10 years old and he was just 1 month shy of his 4th birthday. “He’s autistic,” the doctor said to my mother. Plainly and honestly, the doctor said something that changed my family’s lives forever. Till then, they stated late development disorder but when he was still not verbal at nearly 4, the diagnosis was inevitable. He didn’t walk until he was 2 and a half years old, had a capable voice but couldn’t articulate words and he couldn’t communicate verbally or otherwise.
What ensued after were a lot tears, anguish, anger and resentment. My mother cried for hours, days and weeks. My father couldn’t

I recently played this game with a friend and she added a hilarious twist to it. We chose movies as our category and took turns to guess the other’s puzzle. However, each time I would guess the movie correctly, she would instead claim that the movie name was something else! Here were her unique movie names – I am going to list the actual ones at the end so try to guess:
1. Runaway Knife Continue reading
Shabby Sketches #7: Signature Dance Moves of a Stickman
I was going to create a post that included (badly drawn) sketches of signature or iconic dance moves. But as I started out I realized that a stationary stickman could be the most versatile dancer of them all…
Divine Humour or Weird Karma
Ever wonder at times if God is playing a prank on you? Or you are getting weird retribution for something you did in the past? There are times where I think God has a sense of humour or Karma is high and these are some of them:
1. I drank out of the milk carton directly all the time and it used to annoy my mother immensely but I didn’t care… and now I have lactose intolerance. Mom are you happy now?
2. I got booted off an overbooked flight not too long ago and Continue reading
