HIGHS: Run­ning the Sun­feast 10K with over 4000 peo­ple in the Open 10K cat­e­gory : the energy and the crowd enthu­si­asm was pretty awe­some and we could feel the excite­ment pul­sat­ing through the air as the whole group lined up for the start at sharp 9 am. This was my first run with such a […]

Nine. Actu­ally make that ten. Ten peo­ple and one dog. And so this is how it all hap­pened. After din­ner yes­ter­day, dri­ving back with a car full of girls I sud­denly heard a weird clank­ing noise com­ing from some­where. Actu­ally, it would be unfair to say I heard it. One of the girls did : I […]

I’m in a state of despair. His cell­phone doesn’t work and I have no idea where he might have gone. To give you some back­ground, it’s been a long rela­tion­ship. One of the longest I’ve had in Ban­ga­lore at least, apart from 2–3 other close friends. As you can imag­ine, it’s been a hearty blow […]

Warn­ing: Post filled with ref­er­ence to cats and cat pho­tos :) So let me tell you my story. The owner of this blog decided to leave me with a ship­ful of cats and a dog while she was away traips­ing all over the place. Actu­ally, it was her annual home visit, but I was excluded […]

Ron­gali Bihu is a fun time for us Assamese peo­ple. Luck­ily for me, I landed in the thick of action. The sec­ond day itself I was whisked off for a Bihu gath­er­ing by my dad. Appar­ently it’s a tra­di­tion for his group of friends (going way back to 1957!) to meet dur­ing Bihu and spend […]

I’ve writ­ten about this before, but if there’s one thing I haven’t mas­tered yet — it’s cycling. And before you go about fix­ing an expres­sion of dis­be­lief on your face, let me tell you that it’s been a lack of oppor­tu­nity that’s brought about this mis­for­tune. Firstly, in the hills where I was brought up […]

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 […]
