It never seems to end… Posted on November 6, 2006November 6, 2006 Another two blasts in Guwahati yesterday. I called mom and dad immediately. My dad told me he was in the same area the day before. It’s a busy shopping centre so there’s likely to be quite a lot of people around. Mom travels to and fro work everyday and a pretty long distance. It’s a little scary and unnerving as to how easy it is for someone to plant a bomb. The next thing you know is someone’s family is wiped out. Someone loses a father, someone a mother, someone else a sibling perhaps. And to what end? Right now, it’s more like violence for the sake of violence. They seem to be intent to terrorising the common man and wiping out their own people from the face of the state.

Anita Recommends My top 5 picks in the south Posted on January 31, 2014 Something I wrote a while ago, published by rediff.com. The places I’ve listed (some of them are possibly pretty familiar to most of you) and yet I was surprised when a very dear friend today confessed that she has never been to Pondicherry. So there goes!

About tea and other things Posted on October 4, 2008October 4, 2008 Tea happens to be my favourite beverage. Over the years, I’ve disposed off the need for milk (and sugar in most cases) to get the real taste of tea. I read this yesterday while browsing through a book and liked it so much, I made a note of it: “Tea… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
A drive to Sultanpet and Nandi Hills Posted on July 19, 2007July 19, 2007 This Bangalore Weekend Shoots on July 8 plan was an open one.

We decided to go on the Nandi Hills route, and possibly visit the hillock called… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
There was a time when I used to wonder how safe it would be for someone to be living in the J&K valley area where bombing was something so regular that it finally stopped making much news material. But now after the recent bomb blasts around various parts of the country – you wonder how safe is it to just “live” anywhere. Yes, planting bombs has become so easy. Reply
I remember when I went to gauhati in early 99… nice city.. hope everyone you know is alright. vasu Reply
Just makes life so uncertain and insecure.Over here in Singapore we are also aware it can happen anytime. My friend’s husband works there too. Her story: (http://www.xanga.com/erikanissa/544894614/bomb-blast-amongst-the-unreached-group.html Reply
I know how it must have been. Every time there is blast soemwhere I keep thinking of all my friends in the city and cannot pe at peace until I have made sure they are all safe. When will they realise that it is totally unfair to terrorise common people who have nothing to do with their issues. Reply
I don’t know whether news like this makes me sad or fills me up with anger… No cause, No grievance can justify such horrific acts of sheer cowardice against innocent lives… Reply
It leaves me seething with anger at this idiots.. who gave them authority to take lives? If i get my hands on them i would like to slowly tear them flesh by flesh, blood vessel by vessel, cell by cell,,,, In lighter words, that would make me no different from those cowards…we can just make them do manial jobs for the affected family throughout their life. cheers mohan!
