Blank after Blanco- Khan Market

I am speechless at this point because I don’t know where to begin. I have had worse experiences in the past and I have been left disappointed many times but never have I been left speechless. Or maybe that is an exaggeration and I have, I just can’t seem to recall very well. Enough of […]

Geoffrey’s at Select City Walk!

When it had opened in Ansal’s Plaza for the first time, Geoffrey’s was a restaurant which my parents thought was not suitable for kids. Then one day I think they changed their mind and we went there for dinner. Though I can’t remember much about it, the food seemed about average and as a child […]

Bombay Diary - A city Replete with Potholes & Promise

Mumbai is a place Delhiites generally don’t like to travel. Heavy traffic logs, un-warmly behavior of people, and dearth of good-looking girls often are the major grievances of those who have been bred in Delhi or North India (disclaimer: I don’t want to instigate the North India-West India divide issue here). On my second trip […]

The Venetian Betrayal

Since I am not a very big or even small cricket fan, I have no intentions of following the IPL matches, and furthermore, since no movies are being released due to the IPL craze (insanity more like it) I am turning towards one very dependable source which will never let me down…books.
I stumbled upon ‘The […]

A Delightful Sunday Evening

Over the last week or so, I have been playing scrabble and various versions of it online and have become quite addicted to it.

As self explanatory as the name is, the book can be classified under the category of ‘self-help’ books because it deals with issues regarding style and most importantly ‘How-to-dress’. Nina Garcia is/ was the editor of ELLE magazine and […]

You are your own HOPE

Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.   
These famous words were said by Tim Robbins to Morgan Freeman in the 1994 classic The Shawshank Redemption. These words are engraved in my mind and soul like a small baby clings to the mother’s chest. Hope […]

THINGS THAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND (part-3)

10) What is pseudo? Very often I have come across instances where in order to describe someone’s attitude or principles etc. etc. etc. but what seems to be the total lack of vocabulary and or the ability to be articulate, they have taken aid of the word “pseudo”. Now my question here is- Pseudo-what? Like […]

5 THINGS TO SAY ‘NO’ TO

1) Binging on ‘Junk Food’ – As much as we love eating junk food the one quality that exists purely in human beings and never in animals is that they can eat even when they’re not hungry! Animals will stop when full, but humans are not entirely aware of their capacity and will continuously eat […]

5 THINGS TO ALWAYS SAY ‘YES’ TO

1) Parental Advice – The younger generation which claims to know everything might actually know-it-all, yet what we lack is experience. Irrespective of how wrong parents might seem when they refuse a whim or they sit and ‘lecture’ us on what can only be described as persuasion in order to change our mind, get out […]
