So the most annoying question doing the rounds these days (owe it to the high levels of socializing) is ‘Oh so you lived in the US for 2 years ?? Doesn’t feel like it!’ (mostly followed by a smirk, I like to imagine that its a smile of appreciation, but how much can one fool…

read this as a friend’s status on facebook!!!!!“India is poor but Indians are not poor” says one of the Swiss bank directors. He says that “280 Lac Crore” of Indian money is deposited in Swiss banks which can be used for ‘tax less’ budget for 30 yrs. Can give 60 crore jobs to all Indians. From…

Post the shopping blues we started with the bride’s grooming and packing. A week back we had a little fashion parade where she dress rehearsed for all the functions.

Its superrr fun 😀But I commend her spirits when everyday without fail she asks me so what subji (vegetable) would you like…

So when I was struggling to get my bearings straight on the Indian timeline, a dear friend who now lives in Chennai asked me to visit her. After the initial inertia from mom dad about the ayodhya verdict, its implications etc (which proved out to be nothing thanks to all of us maturing) they conceded…

People like to have opinions these days. The different it is the better they feel about standing out of the crowd. And by just reading the biased, designed somewhat for a child’s psychology history books over the years they like to boast about their meager knowledge about the Mahatma. I could not care less but the…
