For the past fortnight or so, every news channel has taken a lot of air time, and every newspaper and magazine considerable print space to telecast and write their take on the Indian Premier League. The IPL is perhaps the most glamorous and talked-about event of 2008 in India. The marriage of Bollywood and cricket, […]

So I guess there is very little need to explain what this blog is focusing on! Over the past couple of years, malls seem to be sprouting up everywhere! I mean there are not enough places in Delhi to house people and so they have to scout for homes in the outskirts of the city […]

My Saturday afternoons are often spent having lunch at some restaurant and then browsing either Khan Market or Select City Walk Mall with my mom. It is the only time she and I have truly for bonding as individuals and friends rather than as parent and offspring. Most conversations revolve around me being me and […]

I was online going though the list of nominations for the Oscars this year and I was sitting dumbfounded after seeing the lists. I don’t know if I should feel embarrassed saying this or not, but I had probably heard of and seen only about 3-4 movies that were in the various nominations. Is it […]

I am actually reconsidering writing this blog because I feel like the biggest traitor around, but I feel that it is now my moral obligation to do so (my histrionic skills seem to come alive at times like this!). The root of this blog is disappointment and downright decadence. Yo! China Vasant Vihar ever since […]

I am not a big Mary Higgins Clark fan but I was in desperate need of something exciting and fast paced to read. My mom is a big fan of Clark so she gave me the book ‘I Heard That Song Before’. Skeptical, I was when I picked it up. Seemed like another one of […]

To set the record straight, the Rajput wife of Akbar was never in her lifetime known as ‘Jodha’, ‘Jodha bai’ or ‘Jodhabai’.

So catching up with Jack West Jr. …After saving the world from unfathomable destruction and devastation, if only temporarily, he moves to Australia to lead a “normal” (if it can be called that) life. But of course, short-lived it is supposed to be, he gets a disturbing mail from one of the other surviving team […]

There was a piece of news today that must have been on some page (mostly International) of every newspaper in the world, ie the end of Fidel Castro’s 50-year-old reign. Fidel Castro is one of the few international leaders who has managed to rule a country for such a long period. Col Gaddafi of Libya […]
