Every Valentine’s day, you sneer at the mush that goes around and scoff at the half-baked western culture that’s seeping in. At parties, you are surrounded by couples.

My mother would frown down about dating apps. Not that I care (I do), or that she even knows what an app is (she does). Sometimes, it’s best to live in ignorance. My mother would frown upon them, because for her the concept of getting together with someone based on their photograph is difficult to…

I was only twenty one when my mom started talking about my marriage. And this is when I was not even studying “home-science”. I had just finished my engineering from IIT. Unbelievable, right? I somehow managed to sneak away for my post-grad to the U.S. But I was back two years later, and by now…

When it comes to writing the perfect love song, few can trump The Beatles. There’s most certainly a Beatles love song for every occasion – be it a romantic candle-lit dinner or a completely smashed out party.
