Hundred Years of Longing
Bound by four walls is our little oasis of love. The air smells of the hunger of a hundred years of longing. Darbari Kanada, the perfect raaga. A touch, two, three, four, building into an embrace. A hesitant kiss, almost doubtful. A second, hurried. She and I, we lose our clothes, and our masks. Shedding [...]
Spasm
As the clocks melt, as the ants crawl and as the elephant trudges along on stick legs, I spy myself peeping inside me. The heart is no longer black, weak or wicked. The heart awaits its rightful place usurped by the mind. Perhaps, Aristotle, the heart is the seat of reason and emotion. Or perhaps, [...]
What’s in a name?
Often times, I have been irritated having to share my name with too many people. I wish I had a more unique, search-engine friendly name. It is infinitely more difficult coming in first on Google for a Sandeep Reddy than, say, someone like Laksmono Nattapong, Moon Unit Zappa, Fifi Trixibell, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily or [...]
A Glorious Prospect
Around the world, more and more women are taking up men’s work. They are doctors, bankers, artists, cabbies, criminals and even heads of states. They write books, make movies, build corporations, edit newspapers and cheat people. And they do it very well. I dream of a day when we men will have nothing to do [...]

The Hitchhiker’s guide to IIT-Madras. Part-1
IIT Madras refers to the 640 acre piece of land in the south Indian city of Madras that every nine and a half out of ten telugu parents want their child to go to college at. The city that IIT Madras is located in has since changed its name to Chennai; nonetheless, having been established [...]
Eternal sunshine rots the orange clockwork
He: Got your profile while searching for Chaos theory enthusiasts on Orkut…Me: tell me more. He: I read bout Chaos in Jurassic Park about 7 years ago … wondered whether it was real science … found James Gleick’s book … then read, read, read … like mad … Then went crazy over Neural Networks next [...]
Jingle-Jingle
I can bluff my way through most situations. yes, most. Maybe all, too and that gives me the confidence, the reason to procrastinate, to be indifferent to deadlines and in turn, rather indifferent to the root concept of work. I bluffed my way through my first job interview. I extra bluffed in the interview peeved [...]
