Tuk-tuk calling!

This guy’s going to be get­ting a lot of calls for sure. Meet Sam­son, an auto dri­ver from Chen­nai, who has his own web­site, and incred­i­bly (yes, yes!) also turns on the meter! When I think Chen­nai and auto dri­ver, my mind wan­ders to a jour­ney we under­took a few years ago — my sis­ter and I. […]

The night I got rained out!

Of course we all know what hap­pens on Ban­ga­lore roads when it rains. But I was the least pre­pared for the events to unfold that night. After din­ner with friends at Indi­rana­gar I set off towards Kora­man­gala. It had been rain­ing for around an hour but I didn’t really real­ize how bad things were outside. […]

Home remedies for the common cold

So as luck would have it, I came down with a cold on Tues­day night. And with the Sun­feast around the cor­ner, you can imag­ine how frus­trat­ing that is for me. Any­way, I thought I would ask for some home-made recipes to cure a com­mon cold and I got some very inter­est­ing responses when I posted […]

Finishing the KTM

Mostly, I remem­ber the last few kilo­me­ters of KTM. Because I’ve never been so relieved that it was done. But then I say that after every run :-) Well, I prob­a­bly wasn’t the only one : with the sun shin­ing in all its glory : at times dur­ing the 3 hour affair I could feel it […]

Adventures with my hero

Every­one needs a hero, right? So here’s a small story about mine. So, the hero’s been around for a while, but never really got­ten a taste of adven­ture. Of what life can be like : on the road. I’ve been mean­ing to take him out on a jaunt to expe­ri­ence real life… but the timing […]

Saturday tales from Kitty

Hey! It’s me… whatcha upto? Can I get some attention here?

Terms of Endearment

So an old friend called when I was brows­ing through books at Oxford today after my nth ankle ther­apy ses­sion at Manipal.

He’s com­ing to Ban­ga­lore and wants to meet me for din­ner. I might be trav­el­ling out I tell him. He can’t believe his luck! It’s about the 4th time he’s going to miss me.

Why I’m miffed with Kareena Kapoor!

So, I was just pack­ing up to leave yoga class, when my instruc­tor bran­dishes a sheet of paper in front of me. “What is this?” I ask. He just pushes it into my hand with­out answer­ing. On the top, it reads, Kareena Kapoor’s diet. I read it twice and then look at him with a ques­tion­ing expression. […]
