The weather’s pretty pleas­ant here. Espe­cially dur­ing the day. It gets cool in the night. If it wasn’t for the ten­sion in the city, it would have been per­fect. Attended the first wed­ding. How did you meet your wife, I asked my about-to-be-married cousin the day he was get­ting mar­ried. Cyber love, he replied. Apparently, […]

The gen­eral sce­nario today. I usu­ally remem­ber a whole list of things to do just before I leave for some­where and then there’s this ter­ri­ble rush to get every­thing done. Thanks Vineeth for the point­ers to Hyder­abad. I’m really look­ing for­ward to it. Espe­cially the Hus­sain Sagar lake and the para­sail­ing. I wish I had more […]

Going home to Guwa­hati for a while. And then to Cal­cutta, Ban­ga­lore, Hyder­abad and back to Mum­bai mid-December. I leave for Cal­cutta on the 17th evening by train.

Paint­ing. The first one is from an old card I found. The […]

I would love to be able to par­tic­i­pate in this event. But I am some­what embarassed to admit that I can’t run. I can walk. A few kilo­me­tres. More than a few on an excep­tion­ally fit day. But run­ning is some­thing I have never been able to fig­ure out. That’s why I can’t be a part of the Mumbai […]

Kit Kit’s been read­ing my Harry Pot­ter and the news­pa­per. She doesn’t seem too impressed though!

Loki had emailed me a while back ask­ing if I knew of any Sri Lankan blogs. I haven’t really come across any, but if you have, do drop her a line.

Some­one on my MSN mes­sen­ger list had as a nick­name that went some­thing like this: “I read all about the evils of alco­hol and I decided to stop read­ing!” And that, I realised, could apply to a hand­ful of peo­ple I know!
