An Unexpected Honesty

It was February 2013, India verses Australia second test match took place in Chennai. It was a weekend and I planned to go to the cricket match along my room mate. Although it was a tedious task to get tickets, we were desperate because it was none other than GOD of cricket Sachin Tendulkar on strike at 83 not out.

We woke up early by 3 AM and opted for auto to avoid delay in the plan. We got down near sub urban railway station and gave him a 50 rupee note expecting the auto driver not to ask more for an early morning drop.

"Sir I do not have change of 20 Rupees to pay you back" He declared.

Ang Lee: A Never-Ending Dream

"In 1978, as I applied to study film at the University of Illinois, my father vehemently
 objected. He quoted me a statistic: ‘Every year, 50,000 performers compete for 200 available roles on Broadway.’ Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the U.S. This strained our relationship. In the two decades following, we exchanged less than a hundred phrases in conversation.

THE BANGALORE BIAS

It was just a three day visit to Bangalore. Yet, back home with bag full of memories. Guess what, I am in love with the city. Thanks to my friend Raghu for a splendid hospitality.

I had a dream about an imaginary metro which is eco-friendly, technically advanced and with a plenty of opportunities for millions to survive in a healthy arena.

It was April 25^th when I reached Chennai to give my Semester exams which commenced on 30^th April. Five days of recess and the most awaited movie AVENGERS was getting released on 27^th of that month. I was planning a lot to watch it first day. I had two days’ time to prepare.

I started to Chennai with 500 Rupees in my pocket and a whooping amount of 15,000 Rupees in my debit card. The confidence of having such a huge amount made me spend 500 like a spend thrift. As soon as I entered my hostel I was hungry. I spent 100 bucks on my breakfast. On the next day I spent 200 Rupees for my lunch with my friend. I am such an idiot I forgot to return the library book which fetched me a fine of 50/-. On the other day, 26^th April we planned to book the tickets for the most awaited movie. We booked the slot and I opened my wallet to find that I was driven into chaos. I did not find my debit card. I was left with 150 Rupees for the rest of 15 days I got to spend.
