Breakfast for many of us has become a luxury; we seem to be in a perennial hurry to get somewhere. Lately though, the fad of cooking channels and blogs is on the rise, and the fantastic pictures and easy recipes make you want to fix yourself something. For several years, breakfast meant a toast…
Tea Time
Lately I have been struggling with a terrible migraine, which seems to hit me everyday, unfailingly, for a good two months now. Being from the maximum city (Bombay), which boasts of one season across the year (summers, mild summers and summers with rain), moving to Bangalore, where you experience three seasons in a day has…

A Ray of Hope

Popularly known as the Coconut Island and Thonsepar, these four small islands have been formed from columnar basaltic lava.

A Psalm of Life~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time
Simple Pleasures
Homely food is one of the simple pleasure of life that is robbed from you when you have career aspirations that need you to move away from home. Quite honestly, being a Tamilian from Bombay, I never really lived in my “home state” of Tamil Nadu. For me, I am forever a Bambaiya girl. My…
