Day 1, 2 & 3

By ⋅ September 10, 2007 ⋅ 21 comments

It was pretty hec­tic the last two days. Peo­ple have been stream­ing in through the day. Lots of friends (and lots who promised didn’t turn up, but that is always expected!). Some nice sur­prises, peo­ple who came in through this blog and Ban­ga­lore Met­blogs also. The Slimes refused to fea­ture us, and we didn’t get […]

Snapshots from a brunch

The prob­lem with hav­ing a sis­ter who’s a chef is that her stan­dards are nat­u­rally high. And since she knows what these exotic dishes are sup­posed to taste like, she won’t set­tle for less. I am less dis­crim­i­nat­ing. I eat any­thing that looks and tastes rea­son­ably good and pro­nounce it as deli­cious! And some­times I haven’t […]

This is a not for profit the­atre group called Krea, com­ing all the way from the US to stay a play in Ban­ga­lore, Chen­nai and Mum­bai. I’ve writ­ten more about them here so do go have a look!

Do these people really have nothing else to do?

It’s amaz­ing what can take over the col­lec­tive con­scious­ness of a minor­ity of the pop­u­la­tion and get a seem­ingly triv­ial non-issue hyped all over the media! A kiss, a saree and now Bud­dha in the bath­room? Like some­one said, it’s okay to relieve your­self in pub­lic places (that’s obvi­ously a part of our great cul­ture) but […]

Now for some food…

By ⋅ April 18, 2007 ⋅ 18 comments

I’m sure most of you would have stopped at Kamat’s Lokaruchi on the Ban­ga­lore Mysore high­way near Ramana­garam at some point or the other. It’s a pop­u­lar stop for trav­el­ers and espe­cially at lunch time, when they serve tra­di­tional South Indian meals in plan­tain leafs. I was of course super excited since I don’t get to […]

Necessary Evil?

By ⋅ February 27, 2007 ⋅ 14 comments

So in my whole friend cir­cle, I know just one per­son who doesn’t pos­sess a cell phone. One. Over a period of time, we’ve grown so used to this handy device that life with­out it is quite dif­fi­cult to imag­ine. I for one, would feel lost with­out one. I, espe­cially find it use­ful when travelling […]

Why do we frequent Koshy’s?

By ⋅ February 23, 2007 ⋅ 6 comments

This is one great mys­tery for me. Most of the time the food is noth­ing to write home about and not value for money. The wait­ers talk to you like you are a very sad life form that doesn’t deserve to exist, the place is noisy and you can lit­er­ally hear the con­ser­va­tion on both sides […]
