As Mumbai continues to grow as a concrete jungle, there seem to be buildings cropping up everywhere. And despite rising prices and shrinking paychecks, all the properties seem to be adequately filled up. Rise of the Corporate India is not such a bad thing after all!
Preparing For The Summers
While I don’t indulge in any spirits or hard drinks of any sort, a bit of cola with a dash of lemon, is always a welcome drink as the summer heat scorches us up. Summers in a country like India can get a bit too hot to handle.
A Green Heart of Gold
This is a leaf of (and still on) the Aapta tree. I have never really seen a thriving and green one yet, as it is a Maharashtrian tradition of exchanging its dry leaves (they call it “Sona” or golden leaves) as symbol of gold to wish loved ones prosperity and fortune on the Vijay Dashmi…
Memorial Day Wishes
OK, I know that the Memorial Day went by on Monday, but I was just too tied up to actually work on this image and put it up. This little keepsake graces my colleagues desk. Hope you had a great week-end, and an even better week that followed. Gratitude to those who have the courage…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Water 2
A 7 km Rafting ride awaited us at the Beas River at Manali. This was one of the most adventurous things we had ever done, we were sitting at the head of the inflated raft! The River is not the kindest of the lot, as it is just a few 1000 kms from its point…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Water
I love these dew-kissed bell-shaped flowers. However, I took these post a mild shower. They bloom early in the morning and tend to fold in their petals at night fall. And they wake up again with day break for as long as they live. Quite an intriguing life, so much like ours!
Pick Someone Your Own Size!
The oldest form of dental hygiene, toothpicks have been around for time immemorial. I like mine with a starter at the pointed end instead of my teeth. What about you?
Being Indian
I was in class ten when I first read an essay titled “A Matter of Belonging” by Sheila Dhar, and it left a very deep impact on the way I perceived my Indianness. Although I have tried in vain to get hold of her book titled “This India” (1971), I haven’t succeeded so far in…
