The Unsmiling Indian

For such a large and diverse country, Indians don’t appear to take to smiling very well.

The smoking preferences of India, through the years.

The multiplicity of choice only means that individual listeners wallow in their respective niches

The music is louder than ever before but the silence between songs is deafening

With so many entertainment options available now, what’s a man to do?

Hirsute tu, Brute?

It shouldn’t be a secret that women look at men, too – but society seems to treat it as such.

Hash has become a status symbol, to be carried around and flaunted rather than smoked.

Never underestimate the power of the humble but omnipresent baniyan.
