Being B'a'ld !!


Yes, I was bold enough to get bald. Just hope that you recognize me when our paths cross on some random street.
So this is how I spent last Friday. 
  1. Worrying at first. Should I or Should I not.
  2. Getting to the barber's and going for the same ol' boring cut.
  3. "Oh what the heck, dekhi jaayegi" kinda attitude to stop the barber in between and go with the trimmer.
Indecision was a big part of the whole affair. Just wondering if all the first timers had such difficulty in going through with it. All said, I am glad that I did it and it has turned out pretty darn well.
You might feel compelled to ask Why? For me it was more of curiosity about how i'd look and how it'd feel and the little thing called now or never. 
'Delighted' is the word that describes my current state of mind. The small joy's that it brings like finally being able to ditch the everyday combing, the feeling of a well-mowed grass on your head, the water droplets reaching your skull and having a cooling effect you never thought to be possible, and this is just two days of living with it that I am talking about, are immense in today's life.
Somehow i feel more free. And as my friend Junna once said: " It's something, people who've never done will regret!! " So GO, GET BALD ;)

P.S. catch the craziness out here.
Oh, and before you leave, I have been called names after my last exploit, some of 'em being: "wannabe Lebanese", "Middle-east terrorist", "Scary ...", "Gadad DD", "Ghajini".. et al.

Review: Dialogue in the Dark (DiD), Hyderabad - An Unlit Experience of a kind

Ambiance ***** Food **** Experience ***** Overall ***** Often, we wonder, how would it be like to experience the world in someone else's shoes. Dialogue in the Dark gives you an overwhelming experience on one such foray. Located in the sprawling Madhapur area of Hyderabad, a stones throwaway from the Hitech City, this is the area of the city that will blend modern India with the city of Nizams for you. Located on the 3rd floor of Inorbit Mall, as soon as you reach the reception desk of the restaurant, you'll start feeling awe. What greets you is an 'unassuming' person at the reception, who matter of factly mentions, that this experience would be unique for you. There are rules to be followed, and he hands over a list of the same - key being, you don't have anything on you which emits light, in any environmental condition. Curiously placed are a few Walking Sticks lying in a corner allow your imagination run wild for a little while. The m...

Google Allo - And its Content Ratings on iOS

Google just launched their new messaging app Allo in an already overcrowded market. Now there are plenty of opinions online, that you can read, talking about what are the chances that Allo succeed, so we are not going to talk about it here. However, when trying to download the app on iOS through App Store, an interesting thing caught my attention. The content rating that was given to this messaging app was 17+ with further click ins such as: Nudity, Profanity etc. On the other hand, a simple comparison with WhatsApp (the debatable leader in the market), you'd realize the same has a rating of 4+. Screenshot Dt. 23rd Sept 2016: Taken on India App Store on iPhone Similar to PG ratings on entertainment contents, App Store has the following scale : 4+, 9+, 12+ and 17+ with the varying scales of nudity, profanity, violence and other such adult (not "child" safe) references. But its simply baffling to have such a huge gap between the content rating for tw...

Mom Dad's Card

Impromptu 10 Mins:   “ I am still a big mystery, if fact, I myself don't know wht I am capable of  http://mail.google.com/mail/e/gtalk.347 " width="14" />   You wouldn't believe when I first discussed this idea with Saransh, Chachi and Nupur di, all of 'em were like 'what? u thought of this?' and the apparently people were like 'Harshit ne socha yeh sab, baap re' Such was the built up hype.   Then all the work that I'd put in for a good part of 2 weeks, daant bhi khaayi papa se, roz ghumne chala jaata hai, wagarah, i made the card at a friend’s place, the hiccups, the tension and everythin, so worth it.   And when finally people saw, I could see them drooling all over it   we had a reading, at 12 on 12 th . I read all the cards in front of every1 in my typical delhi tone, ppl went berserk, laughing aloud, such was the effect, bade log bhi yes....   and finally, sabne mujhe 1 nahi, 2-3 baar sunaya ki how i had pulled it o...
