Paroma’s Tag

I was tagged a few days back for this!!
ONE day after my birthday the party mood kicks in.
TWO countries D is visiting and I’ grateful I am not: Vietnam and Thailand.
THREE weeks before I go home to Ma’s cooking, New Market and heavy quilts.
FOUR things I love in my closet: Jeans, a tiny little skirt, [...]

Thank You !!

It was a rather nice birthday this year. D went to work and I spent the day taking calls and answering online messages. In the evening G and S realized I was spending the day all by myself with D being stuck at work till midnight at least and came over with a lovely cake. [...]

Such Is Senility !!

Hah, this is really funny and even I am laughing at myself.
See, I told you tomorrow’s my birthday? So, I have never really had a birthday party because one, we could not afford it, an two, because my father always had to go to work and I would never have a party without him at [...]

My Birthday’s Tomorrow

So tomorrow’s my birthday. Quite something, huh, considering how old I am about to become tomorrow.
You know I have never thought very nicely about my birthday ever. Because it was always at the end of the month when everyone, including my parents, my brother, my friend, my husband, my landlord, everyone, is out of money [...]

Pliss to Note…

…that I have chosen to take a break from blogging. Nothing gives me a reason or an idea to write, and nothing take away the feeling of being in the dumps. Things are suddenly not terribly nice. So I shall not write till I at least find some semblance of peace or at least something [...]

Diwali Update and the Indibloggers Meet

The festival of good over evil and all that completely flipped over in Goa. We had just been out for a night-long Narkasur rendezvous when we heard about the blast at Margao. You know, it is amazing how news travels. Before any TV channel got to know we were discussing the chances of another blast [...]

Bang Bang !! And Boom Boom !!

Life in Goa is suddenly eventful.
There is a serial killer on the loose here, killing people, mostly women, every twelve hours, stuffing them in plastic bags after charring the faces. And I am scared. Three murders in my area alone, and my windows don’t even have grills to protect me. Worse, came to know about [...]

Hriju…

I have always used my blog to speak my mind and heart, and if today I choose to bring out something from the deepest corner of my heart, would you not indulge me? This will do nothing about my likability factor, and in fact will perhaps drag me down some notches, but I really need [...]

Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize !!

Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I’ve been to Sweden to kiss the queen
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I got the Nobel Prize to keep beside my chair.
Pussycat, pussycat, what will you now do?
I’ll go to China and suck up to Hu.
That my dears, is pretty much what Barack Obama, lord and master of the world [...]

Happy Days

I love this time of the year y’know. Somehow everything in the air feels good. This used to be my favourite season back home in Calcutta because I would go for these long walks around Belvedre road and the Horticultural Gardens close to my house and feel the little nip in the air that suggested [...]
