* Harry potter and the deathly hallows part I sucked!!! What’s with making up for the gist of the story, the main philosophy by great locales and cinematography? It is fast, the narration is crisp, but you totally forget to mention the main sub plots? Its like eating a pani puri without the aaloo-chaat stuffed in…

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…

ended yesterday. Amidst fun, frolick, yummy food, really grand banquet hall, nice clothes, very less formality, meeting friends, gossip sessions, saree watching, aunty talks, running around the bride, and a few jitters. 🙂I wore saree for more than 15 hours and that’s a record of my lifetime.

Birthdays excite me! Yes crossing the silver line has got nothing to do with the fact that I should grow up and act all mature about birthdays. It will take time.But this birthday was slightly different with the energy levels. With the numerous shopping trips for the best friend’s wedding I was super duper tired…

Since childhood we have had this tradition of meeting both sides of the family at least once an year. With baba’s side all being pretty elderly and now family sizes growing with cousins getting married, and everyone dispersing and settling down, the meets are now normally confined to big family functions like weddings.

Life is often funny. For most of my 2 years in the US, I craved to be surrounded by friends (more) and family (occasionally). Everyone amongst them being supportive of me and my decisions, really stood by me. But you know how it is. Things do fade out as time goes on. Specially once the…

So after much prodding from aai-baba I finally indulged in some retail therapy. I am not a ‘crowd’ person. I mean I like the fact that India has so many people, but its more like a distant love. So when with a grumbling stomach, tired feet, sore back, drowsy eyes I approached my last target…
