I’ll Be Gone (Again!!)

I am going home again to have tubes thrust up and down me, and it will be a while before I get back. At home I usually do not blog, so there will be no posts from me here for two months at least. Probably.
And somehow like last time I am not terribly sad at [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Taj Mahal was a Hindu Temple?! Oh, and Flexi-Timing

I have never been to the Taj Mahal, in spite of numerous visits to Delhi and thereabouts. But I have always been interested in it, if only from the point of view of an ancient architectural enthusiast. Had a chat with D today about the probable foundation of the Taj being made of wood. Wanted [...]

Post Made on Demand :)

When I landed in Goa, I realized that I had left my career very far behind me. The sheer inconvenience of travel, the lack of work here, and the meagre pay of 3500 offered to me, which was less than a third of what I had begun my work life with, had disappointed me and [...]

Of Small Niceties

I may not be as lucky, but I am sure loved. When everyone is doing his and her own bit to help me with cope with the damn illness and more importantly, to help me consider quitting cigarettes, my maid went ahead and got me the following:

Yes, it is a xeroxed sheet from her temple/ashram [...]

I’m A Spicy Saturday Pick, Fellas !!

Remember what I said about Suchitra Krishnamurthy and her newest scandal about the minor domestic help? Blogadda chose that as their Spicy Saturday Pick today, and here’s what the ed wrote about this:
Spicy : There are many incidents where celebrities were targeted by media and Suchitra’s was one such incident. Suchismita has a posted a [...]

My Mapping Has Gone Nuts, Guys !!

Ok, at the cost of suicide, I think there is something wrong with the way my blog is mapping visitors. I have 14000 plus visitors in less than a year, fine, (and that is with a count reset I had stupidly clicked on once) but the mapping system is definitely weird. I mean, why on [...]

Storms, Stormy Places and Stormy Workplaces

How blah can this get? While the Americans name their hurricanes sexy stuff like Katrina, Arlene, Bret, Cindy, Dennis, Emily, Franklin and Ophelia in a nice alphabetical order, we call ours stuff like Aila, Bijli (how imaginative) and Megh (again, who would have thought?!) And did you know how cyclone names are decided?
And while we [...]

A Word of Thanks

My daily blog visitors count went past 190 last Tuesday, with a total of 10,000+ visitors already. As someone who started from scratch once her original blog was scrapped rather rudely by the server-owner, this is very rewarding. But it is most rewarding, when you, my reader, de-lurks. I know a lot of my friends, [...]
