The Last Lecture

Dear Malvika,
First, thanks for gifting me The Last Lecture.
Today, I finished reading the book. In the past, I have read quite a few inspirational, the so-called “self-help” books such as The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, You Can Win, The Alchemist, etc. However, The Last Lecture stands out because it is real.
I particularly enjoyed reading […]

A Wednesday on A Sunday

Sundays evenings are puzzling. You have gotten up late, had a heavy brunch, and may be have had a nice siesta. Then what? What do you do? Work more? Read? Watch TV? For a lazy coach such as me, I usually have my bath in the evening after having spent the day hogging and reading/working. […]

Aromas of China at Ambience Mall

Sorry Urvashi, I am again back to writing on eating out! This time it is about Aromas of China at Ambience Mall in Gurgaon. I usually don’t go that far to eat, and this time it was by chance. I had a meeeeting (yes, a long one) in Gurgaon and the hunger pangs were so […]

Karva Chauth ki Kahani…

It is no news that yesterday was Karva Chauth. I have my own views about Karva Chauth but I would not voice all of them here, as I don’t want a controversy in the public domain. To put it mildly, I don’t really advocate Karva Chauth. Fasting without food or water the whole day doesn’t […]

Being Brandly Wise?

I don’t know how many of you have been to the Raja Garden Crossing in the west of Delhi. I mean the malls. There are like five-six of them. Big ones! You have Lifestyle, Shopper’s Stop, Pantaloon and Westside as anchor stores and many other leading brand outlets from UCB to RbK to Nike to […]

Unleash the Rebel in You!

I received a complaint this morning from Urvashi. She said that we have been writing too much on eating out. Perhaps, we got carried away with the idea of eating out, and lost our focus for some time. You may be right, Urvashi, but we write about what we feel like expressing! But my readers […]

The Big Chill at Kailash Colony

Yesterday was an official off, but as it turns out usually for me, I had about three meetings to attend at two ends of Delhi, so that essentially meant lot of selling and driving. I didn’t do much of the latter because my colleague took control of the wheel. When you are out the whole […]

Oye! Kake….

Seems like I am on an eating out spree! Every time I eat out now, I make it a point to note down the finer points like the ambience, exact dish names and service so that I can create a comprehensive review. I try to make a guide kind of a thing that may help […]

The Monk at Galaxy, Gurgaon

Meeting people, who have been your idols and who you look up to, after long gaps is one of the most wonderful things in life. For me, such people are very very few. One of the persons who I have admired for past decade or so is one of my cousins. He has been my […]

The Jerry Maguire Syndrome

I know I have been pretty late in catching one of the greatest movies ever made, but such are life’s miseries at times. Jerry Maguire is one of those films that seem close to real life with the only exception that things fall at the right places at the end. I was almost on the […]
