Boxing day usually is just as colorful as the day before. We don’t really have that concept here, because as Hindus, our Christmas really is during Diwali. However most of us tend to enjoy every festival with a lot of gusto as we come from a free-minded liberal thought process. And these celebrations are not compulsive,…

Santa Doremon?
OK, So Christmas is just at the end of day break, and Santa Clause will come soon. But this Santa Doremon was flying high to catch my attention quite well. I love that cat from the future, and I sure hope he comes home for a cup of tea and parts some of his wisdom, and…
To You I Belong
OK, if this is a wrong picture for the festive season, please accept my heartfelt apologies. I fell in love with the picture really, that I clicked at the insistence of a friend. There is something painful yet soothing about the entire scene. I haven’t really understood why a rosary needs to have a cross….
Play It Large
Crystal clear has always made me wonder, how clear can a crystal get? Well, like I realized, it remains clear till there is an obstruction. Had the dice not been sporting 6 printed faces, the picture would’ve been much clearer. Much like our clouded state of mind, don’t you think?
Proud and Gaiety
Peacock is the national bird of India. Peacocks symbolize ego and pride. In Indian Mythology, Lord Krishna dons a Peacock feather on his crown. While I don’t know the reasons, maybe this link can help. Needless to say I find this practice of selling peacock feathers inhuman, but I know that the stunning bird sheds…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Waiting
When the year ends, a new hope comes by. Growing up in a convent school, we always used to look forward to the Christmas Party. We could wear our best dresses and got ice cream to eat during class hours! And then we’d sneak into the school chapel to see the crib. As I wish…
Trolling Away
I like trolls, they are said to ward off evil spirits. But to me they just look cute. While these form a part of Scandinavian Folk Tales, (I haven’t really heard any just as yet though), the level of commercialization of something culturally sacred is at times a bit sad. If you can share some…
Flavored Crushed Ice Served Fresh!
Crushed ice seasoned with flavored syrup can be very refreshing and damaging to your throat at the same time. Also known as Golas, Chuskis or snow cones, these are a rage especially at the beaches in Mumbai. These are the machines used to crush or shave ice, and if you notice closely, they all originate…
Meet Rocky!
By now, it is quite a well established fact that I love both toys and animals. So when I got a gift that offers the best of both worlds, I was ecstatic. Rocky is a cute little stuffed toy that looks as real as it gets He brings out he Calvin in me, if you know what I mean.Although…
Baby Po!
Baby Po is a lot cuter than the grown up version that debuted with Kung Fu Panda -1. I found this hungry little panda along with another McDonald’s Happy Meal. And its safe to say that the toy surely made my meal happy!
