It was a tiring and tough climb. And to make matters worse, I had an injured ankle I had sustained playing badminton last weekend, which slowed me down considerably.
Thankfully, I had company in this really sweet young (but sometimes frustrating) thing called Carielle and we kept motivating each other in turns till we reached […]

We joke about death and dying. But it’s hard to accept when it actually strikes. It happened earlier in the year when a close friend lost her husband. He was in his 30s. Two young children. She’s never worked in her life. One day, he had a stroke and he was gone. He was traveling […]

Earlier in the week, I had written about visiting Yeshvantpur market and a school on Independence Day. Here are a few snapshots…

I’ve been in a good mood too. Even the reminder from my professor about my […]

While at Yeshvantpur market yesterday, Vasu, one of the Bangalore shutterbuggers, commented that there is no place as colourful as India.
Just take a walk through a busy Indian market and there’s proof all around you.
Women in colourful sarees.
Onions. Garlic. Chillies. Ginger.
Cauliflowers. Brinjals. Capsicum.
Banana carts.
Peanuts.
Piles of multi-coloured flowers — red and white roses, yellow marigolds… […]

Have been meaning to post my pictures from the Bandipur-Ooty trip, but the connection’s (Tata Indicom) been really bad from home. Finally, managed to get a few of them uploaded.
Enjoy!
Meanwhile, am not going to pay much attention to my online persona (meaning blogging will be light for a week at least) as I need […]
