Started my day with a Strawberry-Muesli bar… Had a Cranberry Muesli bar after work out… Experimented with Fresh Mushroom curry… Had a light Blackberry yogurt for evening snack… Ending my day with Cherry flavored tea with honey… A day where every other hour can rhyme with cherries, berries and curries… leaves me wondering…is something wrong [...]

Without making it a mushy or bitter point of view, Pritish Nandy has written a beautiful piece about love in the TOI supplement today. Click here to read it. He says he’s neither the candy-floss romantic nor spiritual. And I was completely taken in when I read, “The problem with love is that it’s actually [...]

We just came home after watching a movie, blissfully thinking about following up with my builder’s people in Pune on Monday. It took a lot of time to associate the concept of home with Pune and I eventually did it in such a way that the Pune-home has come in my mind to Germany. Yes, [...]

Some go to the extent of negating that the plays of Shakespeare were written by a group of people or doubt authorship of Jane Austen’s novels. [...]

A very thoughtful Facebook status message has triggered too many thoughts in the morning that started with overdose of news related to movies and immature political banter. Seriously feel ashamed of some recent issues and the media space they have been getting. But then, this has been the case since past many many months now [...]

Funny how industry works…I’m in total anticipation of what turns this SRK-Sena controversy will take. I’m a big fan of not taking sides, but I’m a big fan of SRK too. He is neither the best actor nor all his movies appeal to me. But there is something unusual about his persona and ambition and [...]
