Have noticed this strange phenomenon in the course of the last one and a half years. Something vinod bhaskaran has christened “rental”. Rental of girlfriend/boyfriend I mean. Becomes especially significant in a place like IIMB where most people live in hostel and away from their near and dear ones. According to Vinod, rental can be [...]
Vera, I think it is time to tell you a saucerful of secrets. I have been on the run of late but after you defended me at the trial last week, there seem to be signs of life. Remember a day, at the grand vizier?s garden party at Grantchester Meadows, when I was marooned, and [...]
