Evil eye? Buri Nazar?

Recently when I was sharing some good news with a friend, she said, “Don’t tell everyone now. Simply nazar lag jayega.” Believe me, she meant good. When something good is about to happen you obviously would love to share it with your neighbours, relatives, friends and of course your family. But deep within, you are [...]

The past is over…

Why do we think of the past? Is the present not good? Is that when we delve into our past? This is a question which we must all ask ourselves. Almost all of us spend our present moment thinking of the past or the future. When are we actually in the present moment? Very rarely [...]

Raining cats and dogs…

Last week I had been to Kerala. And it was raining cats and dogs. Whatever that term means… It rained and rained with no respite. It was as though the clouds had decided to release their sorrows and were hence shedding all the tears in stock. I like to travel but not during the rainy [...]

Where is the sun?

Yesterday the sun didn’t rise. Not where I stay. Just joking! After many rounds of hide and seek with the clouds, the sun finally decided to hide for a day. An entire day! And even as I am writing I am waiting for the sun to peep out so that I can feel the warmth [...]

Choultry (party hall) fiasco!

I soon found out that they were very nice people, and helpful too. Well I basked in this knowledge and decided to acquaint myself with the neighbourhood. Not exactly a very social person, I [...]

It rarely rains heavily in the morning. The sun shines bright from eight am to approximately 2.30 pm in the afternoon. And then the [...]

‘Kannadiga Bengalooru’

Bangalore is now known as Bengaluru. ‘Uru’ means village or hometown. Bangalore sounded more urban while Bengaluru sounds typically local. Which is not bad I feel. Anyway if you speak to any local kannadiga (people hailing from Karnataka) they would always refer to Bangalore as Bengalooru. The accent and the style in which kannadigas speak [...]

‘Nanna Uru Bengaluru’

I am back to Bengaluru, India. And am I glad? Of course! This is the place where I was born and obviously I have a strong attachment to this beautiful garden city. Relocating and writing two novels was what kept me away from writing on my blog. But I am now settled in my house [...]

Cool Cool Dubai…

It is very cold now here in Dubai and early mornings are just chilly chilly! No chance of stepping out without my jacket and cap. Its brrrrr….. cold. But then these are the few months in UAE when we get to see beautiful knitted sweaters, woolen caps, exclusive jackets. I am sure most of the [...]
