Today while making my way to my aunt’s place through hordes of traffic a really strange thought struck me. I observed there are some people who look pretty focussed with proper attention to things happening around them while riding/driving as if things are really well mapped out inside their brain. I also observed another way to…
It doesn’t take much to make me nostalgic. Sometimes even a song playing on the radio or aai’s cooking is enough! (Sometimes I think I get it from my parents, as they keep on talking about their childhood a lot!)So when I get down to write about Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and Kuch Kuch Hota…
Disclaimer : These are random observations. Indian friends living away/abroad (you know who you are) kindly do not feel homesick or jealous 😀* Since coming back I am using a Bsnl (bharat sanchar nigam limited – India’s at&t ?) sim card. Well its aai’s as I have been too lazy to get myself a brand…
* I realized the post has nothing much about the book. hence reposting with an adage. Pre script : The post is about the book by David Kirkpatrick.I am a skeptic. It helps me getting my views/opinions about stuff straight. And I have always been a skeptic of social networking. It comes from personal experience. I…
1. Aai is finally bugged of the whole daughter-staying-away-from-home-for-past-eight-years-finally-back-home pampering. OK. More than pampering she gets annoyed if I present the same line in a dramatic tone when asked to do anything mundane.

*this is a really old draft which I found today..was written in the month of april!P.S. This post is for 2 girls who are very dear to me. And they know who they are 🙂Life is mostly weird and pointless. And oh yeah, its vicissitudes are vast and complex (to quote JKR). Things are thrown…
In love with this song from Guzaarish. Thanks Ketaki!Ke tera zikr hai Ya itr hai Jab jab karta hoon Mehekta hoon Behekta hoon Chehekta hoon Oo ke tera, tera, tera zikr hai Ya, itr hai Jab jab karta hoon Mehekta hoon Behekta hoon Chehekta hoon Sholon ki tarah Khushbuon mein dehekta hoon Behekta hoon Mehekta…
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…
Recently while reading Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy which was based around crimes of domestic violence, physical and mental abuse I was quite inspired to write about the whole issue. Thinking that I would spoil the plot for potential readers I did not go ahead. But after reading Neha’s article I am more than inspired to write.…
