With due respect Sir, you are an idiot
I have had it with people using expressions without bothering to check if they really fit into the context. What is the temptation to add unnecessary flourish to your language in ordinary conversations? However if you ask me, flourish is better than incorrect use. What annoys me most is people using expressions without knowing what…

I have allowed Snoopy Susie to write for this magazine. After all, detectives are mango people too. To be honest I wasn’t very keen. In her introductory letter she wrote “Everyone is guilty till proven innocent”. She was looking at me with suspicious eyes, as if I have committed some major crime myself. Thank god…

Shorting my fuse over ‘Shorts’
I am convinced that reverse Darwinism is in progress and the stupid shall claim the world. Nothing else explains the proliferation of ‘shorts’ in streaming platforms.These so called ‘shorts’, or ultra short ‘movies’ ranging between 10-15 minutes cannot even be called an ‘insult to intelligence’ because they get over before intelligence gets activated. One would…
