The seasons and their connotations changed for me after coming to the US. What was summer, rains and winter became autumn, winter, spring and summer.And I really like Spring. Not only for its jumpy name, but for the sheer positivity it brings. May be its the sunshine, may be the blossoms, may be the blooming trees…

On the other hand it also has typical KJo outlandish style of doing things, lots of rona dhona and a bit slack storytelling after intermission. But it still is a good movie, because, 1.

Roomie: We dont differentiate much between what we want or what we need. Dont you think so ? (on our way from the grocery shop) Me: Have not given a thought to what I want, for a long time now. Things have become so need based, and now that you say it, I feel like…

On a casual Jewel Osco visit, I found super fresh cilantro (kothimbir/sambar/coriander) judis neatly stacked. As any female would do, I quickly made my way to the aisle and smartly bought 2 of them.
