So, I cancelled my SBI credit card today.
Last night, I tried to buy a few apps on the Google Play store and found, much to my surprise that my SBI credit card got declined. Thinking that it was probably a mistake, I tried again. Same result. I called up the SBI call-center and after the usual IVRS maze, I found myself speaking to a courteous customer-care executive who told me that I had an outstanding of INR 111.50/- on my card.

I am convinced that all Hindu weddings are a massive exercise in classical Pavlovian conditioning.
Any utterance of the words “Shubh,” “Mangal,” and “Saavdhaan” in any order will automatically cause the akshataa in your hand to be flung in the general direction of the stage/podium where the ceremony is happening.
Sirs and Madams of the world, we’ve been royally trolled.

Eyes closed, arms spread wide,
I wait & watch the ocean’s tide.
I feel the air nudge my toes,
Miles beneath me, the water flows…
Silent & still, the ocean awaits;
My arrival at its watery gates.
Knees cocked, arms to the side,
I slowly lean towards the tide.
The vast expanse of ocean blue,
Presents itself, an enchanting view.
Will it be glory? Will it be a wraith?
I wonder & take the leap of faith…

11 deaths. 50+ injured. A city traumatised.
Yes, the blast was a cowardly act.
Yes, it only spilled innocent blood.
Yes, the perpetrators were inhuman.
Yes, they *could* have been interecepted.
Yes, there are a zillion ways things could have been different.
But they aren’t. So live with it.
