The Namesake(s)

April 9th, 2010  |  by Anita  |  published in Living, Personal, Projects

Being in a room with around 15 women, all called “Anita”, turned out to be quite a novel expe­ri­ence. Like we all joked, it was one occa­sion when we didn’t have to remem­ber any names!
This hap­pened in Feb­ru­ary 2010 dur­ing a trip to Delhi and Gur­gaon. A rather diverse bunch, brought together by Delhi based […]

Girls on the Run: Second edition

March 29th, 2010  |  by Anita  |  published in Personal, Running, Sports

The sec­ond edi­tion of Girls on the Run (we had the first one last year) organ­ised by Run­ner Girls India was held on March 28, 2010.
The GOTR is a series of run­ning events and the aim is to increase their fre­quency. This time around we had Decathlon, Kalenji Club, Forum Value Mall and OnMo­bile as […]

Sun behind the Clouds

February 24th, 2010  |  by Anita  |  published in Films, Living, Personal

I have a spe­cial place for Tibet in my heart — espe­cially since one of my dear­est friends is a Tibetan. And I think that it’s quite a strug­gle for Tibetans today try­ing to find their iden­tity wher­ever they are in the world. It’s not easy when your home­land is no longer yours. Or that […]

They couldn’t make my trip!

February 3rd, 2010  |  by Anita  |  published in Internet, Personal, Rants

Had quite a bad expe­ri­ence with makemytrip.com today.
I booked a ticket online for a bus to Chen­nai in the morn­ing. After the pay­ment was done, the screen blanked out and I didn’t get a con­fir­ma­tion for my ticket.
Then I receive an SMS with my book­ing ID and a mes­sage that my credit card […]

Love, light and happiness!

October 17th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Living, Personal

It’s the fes­ti­val of lights — one I asso­ciate some great child­hood memories.

Grow­ing up, we had fun with our share of crack­ers and other noise cre­at­ing diver­sions. The crack­ers for­tu­nately no longer seem attrac­tive and we stopped indulging in them quite long ago — besides being pol­lut­ing (both air and noise) some­how it doesn’t […]

The purrfect pose

September 27th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Hobbies, Living, Personal

The prac­tice of the Surya Namaskar touches all aspects : body, mind and soul. I par­tic­u­larly like this exer­cise as it’s a great way to stretch parts of the body which nor­mally don’t get much action. :-p

Treesforfree needs your help to continue planting trees

July 27th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Living, Nature & Wildlife, Personal, Projects

The prob­lem: Over the last 4 years, Janet and her vol­un­teers at treesfor­free have planted 12,896 trees across Ban­ga­lore City to restore the van­ish­ing tree cover. All in an old Maruti car. Now the car has bro­ken down. And the plant­ing has stopped. But the tree felling con­tin­ues… and with it, the global warm­ing, failed […]

Another ready reckoner!

July 18th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Eating, Food, Living, Personal

So it was only May end/beginning of June that I was down with a cold and got these use­ful home reme­dies. I’ve barely got over that bout (or so it seems!) and I am down with a cold again. Gosh, how I hate them!
I was going through a recent Dec­can Her­ald where I found these […]
