Love in the time of Tesla

You know where I ripped the title from 📖 so no prizes for guessing.😊 A couple of years ago, I was a strong believer of this debilitating as well as uplifting sentiment… I too could write a few scores of words in it’s favour. But of late, some electronic and artificial stuff have got in […]

Her voice of love

If music be the food of love, play on William Shakespeare True that, especially in this second week of February. That no one in India can express their state of mind better than with a song when in the fits of love😉also is understood very well by the world (so hopelessly steeped in music are […]

Just a l❤️vely song…

For those who still don’t consider Valentine’s Day as Blah 😀… For all hearts which beat in the name of love… For the young ones who observe a festival for a week every February, where love for the other is professed with promises, chocolates, gifts, cards, teddy bears, etc. and the countless ageless lovers of […]
