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 […]

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 […]

Fol­low­ing my post yes­ter­day, there have been more inter­est­ing (and pre­dictable) devel­op­ments in the Indian pub­lic space. Peo­ple in the city of Jaipur are advised to indulge in pri­vate dis­plays of affec­tion instead (this is very much Indian cul­ture, btw) and make loads of babies. It’s good for the coun­try, peo­ple. Jai Ho! Actu­ally, this hap­pens every […]

Stuff like this serves as much needed amuse­ment, and bring a smile to my face on an oth­er­wise seri­ously busy day! The ques­tion that gets my atten­tion: Should couple’s be allowed to kiss in pub­lic like in paris? And then I read on… Response 1 what is the harm in it? if the part­neres are loyal to each […]

It’s always a plea­sure to go to Lal­bagh dur­ing the flower shows, which are held in Jan and August every year in the city. This time around, despite noble inten­tions to go on the first day, I didn’t quite make it. So, on the last day (bet­ter late, than never!), I decided to make a […]

“Smart,qualified, witty, employed young women, extro­vert, party ani­mals — in short “eli­gi­ble” in every sense but unmar­ried. Rea­son: they haven’t come across the “right” man yet. Are their expec­ta­tions very high? Do they want the looks of a Brad Pitt and the qual­i­ties of a Darcy and the wealth of Bill Gates prefer­ably with the voice of Amitabh Bachchan and the poetry of Neruda? Not really. They just want a man who shares their inter­ests and respects their inde­pen­dence and is fun to be with. Or so they claim!

I know! We’re well into the New Year and my blog’s look­ing really ignored. Some­one emailed me today and asked me what the mat­ter was. It’s true. And I’ve been ignor­ing the blog for a while but I have a good excuse. Life and all its exi­gen­cies :) After a lovely but tir­ing trek on […]

We met on Sat­ur­day after­noon at Infinitea. There was Usha, Prabhu, Ravi and The­jesh (an ex-author and reader now :). Rajesh who blogs here, dropped in and hope­fully will be a part of the team soon. He’s also writ­ten a really nice post here about the meet­ing and about Infinitea so you can fol­low this […]
