July 2016 (Source: Google) I diligently followed the recent episode between Priyanka Chopra and an AIB member, whose BMF (Brain to Mouth Filter :P) is possibly non-existent (unlike mine which atleast is partly functional ;) consequently making AIB the roast of the nation :P. An AIB member made fun of PC's American accent, and was trolled mercilessly by all and sundry. Surprisingly, his 'knight in shining armor' turned out to be PC herself, who ended the debate by saying "Guys it was a joke!! From me and him!! Comedy is the smartest form of entertainment!!" Kudos gal...Way to go girl 👍 In the daily course of life, we all come across people who are offended by everything under the sun (and the moon, and the clouds) -- the co-worker who looks daggers at me because I went for my cuppa coffee after she specifically told me to go on as her work would take time (hell, what was I supposed to do - hound her like a stalker); the bus mate who believes that t...

July 2016 (Source: Google) I was reading the article about the woman who honeymooned alone in Europe since her husband's visa was rejected (talk about vacation plans going kaput!). Since it was a fully paid trip, she went ahead with her in-laws; and posted some hilarious pics of herself posing with her absentee husband, that soon went viral.

My family, more specifically my Dad and I have a quirky, wry and a little weird sense of humor. Our conversation can be termed as a series of impromptu quips and banter in a ...

November 2016 (Source: Google) Watching "Enough said", a critically acclaimed romantic comedy-drama film, got me thinking about the ' lesser discussed cousin of the cognitive biases family' - champion bias . This movie is about Eva, a divorced masseuse who unexpectedly finds herself dating her friend's ex-husband Albert. The beauty of the film lies in its honest and realistic depiction of life. Eva likes Albert, finds his idiosyncrasies cute, and bursts into laughter at his weird jokes. Around the same time she becomes friends with a successful poet and looks upto her for advice. She eventually stumbles upon the fact that Albert is her friend's ex-husband, but doesn't reveal her respective relationship to either of them. Eva is stupiefied that all the things she finds endearing about Albert, are the exact same aspects that her friend finds repulsive! Her dialogue from the movie says it all, "I have lost all perspective. I've been lis...
