Visiting Berlin

My trip to Berlin started on a very anxious note, which quite embarrassingly I cannot disclose here (my friends know what I am talking about). Anyhow, things went smoother once I boarded my Air France (Warning: avoid flying Air France) flight to the German Capital via Paris (where I missed my connecting flight and waited […]

Common lines people say after getting drunk!

Initially it was sent to me a forwarded joke, but over the last few months, maybe, weeks, I’ve found out that these lines are actually true! I can’t give you the real live examples that I witnessed, for fear of being permanently ostracized and probably beaten up! But it’s my duty to bring the truth […]

Can we please get some perspective?

It’s an opinion which some of you already share, but I’m going to go ahead and say it anyway. The Indian Premier League aka The IPL is bloody over-rated. Here is a league, which is consisting of merely 6 teams, in a sport which is played by only 16 odd teams (of which only 10 […]

These are a few of my favorite things

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things”
I had almost forgotten how much I used to love this song as a kid until recently when I actually visited the city of its creation- Salzburg. […]

Don’t lose your mind, lose your weight!

While sifting through some bags that my mom brought home one day, I decided it’s high time I stop being lazy and find a book worth reading and get out of the TV room where I seem to sit and slowly kill all my brain cells! And voila! As luck would have it, I found […]

A Golden Age - Book Review

We have all read, heard and seen enough of the India-Pakistan partition, the atrocities that were committed on either side of the border, the tragedy that was the aftermath of the much awaited independence. Living in Delhi most of us even know of some relatives or old old family friends who live in Pakistan. Or […]

Are you kidding me??

Over the past few days, there has been a deluge of ads preaching the rhetoric of ‘don’t vote/ No need to cast your vote’. From Bleed India to radio (fm) channels – they have all been over the top in trying to mislead the people of this country to stay away from elections. As if […]

The International - Movie Review

Apart from the fact that this seemed to be the only way to begin this article, I would like to say that after a substantial period of time I’ve come across a movie, with and excellent mix of intrigue, mystery and action which I truly enjoyed! The plausible reasons for this are that I could […]

Buy a Shopping Bag for USD 2700!

There is a fashion magazine called Harper’s BAZAAR. Needless to say it’s a fashion magazine because for some inexplicable reason a lot of my reading these days is of fashion magazines, I just can’t find a fast-paced book that will hold my attention for a substantial period of time for me to sit through it […]

Sinful Indulgences!

While I secretly (or not so secretly) aspire to be a world-renowned cook-show host and owner of a restaurant chain some day, I have decided to share some absolutely awesome experiments from my kitchen! These are not exactly for the weight conscious, but these are well worth the extra 10 minutes in the gym!
