I don’t have much money to spare, but I’m think­ing of get­ting a cam­era.
The thing is: Should I buy an aver­age dig­i­tal cam­era for Rs 15-20K or should I buy a nor­mal cam­era that costs as much, but will prob­a­bly give me bet­ter qual­ity pic­tures?
Any­one with advise on what’s the best deal I can get […]

If we spend so much time com­plain­ing of get­ting bored of what we do, I won­der then: Why we con­tinue to do what we do?

These days I am get­ting a lot of plea­sure see­ing my ex-colleagues work hard. This, for exam­ple is an excerpt of a con­ver­sa­tion with one of them.

I watched Pirates of the Caribbean today. And Johnny Depp makes for an awe­some pirate. His man­ner­isms, his accent, along with his hair — all com­bines to make him emi­nently watch­able. Do catch it, if you haven’t already.
I admire Depp for the vari­ety of his roles. I’ve watched a few of his films — […]

A visit to Pune always brings back warm mem­o­ries of the time I spent there.
I have lived in many places so far. But in Pune, I felt at home. It was also prob­a­bly because I was young, and on my own for the very first time of my life. I got my first taste of independence […]

My friend Jil knows 7 lan­guages — Assamese, Ben­gali, Hindi, Kan­nada, Eng­lish, Ger­man and French. And I mean flu­ently. Not just one or two sen­tences. She’s from a Assamese-Bengali fam­ily. Lives in Kar­nataka. Learnt Ger­man. And is now learn­ing French.
Leav­ing me quite impressed.
Indi­ans I think tend to be mul­ti­lin­gual, by and large. In […]

On Sat­ur­day night, we went out for a Chi­nese place for din­ner. On Sun­day, it was a place called Susie’s (Cor­rec­tion: Sue’s Kitchen) for lunch.
If you are vis­it­ing Ban­ga­lore or live there, you must do Sue’s (espe­cially, if you haven’t done it yet!).
It’s a Caribbean restau­rant located in Indi­rana­gar. The owner is from West Indies and has […]

Some­thing really strange hap­pened last night.
I have never had so much alco­hol in my life. And yet, after half a dozen or so cock­tails and four drinks (between three of us!) we were all stone sober.
It was happy hours at T.G.I.F. (nice ambi­ence, slightly over­priced) and since it was Fri­day, we thought it would be an […]
