The new year 2022 has started on an awkward note. On one hand, it brings the promise of a better, healthier, and happier tomorrow. On the other, it feels like a rehash and repeat of 2020. The new variant has taken us by fear and storm. None of us know if we are safe or…

Fancy A Break?
A more traditional Indian breakfast, depending on the region you come from, is light yet filling. You’d barely find many people consuming cornflakes back in the days, but now our on-the-fast-lane life is making corn our first meal. (Pretty much like beefing up cattle to be slaughtered. Ironic, isn’t it?) To get kids eating some…
Minon Moments of Life!
Life happens to us at a blistering pace! My brother once explained this theory to me (I don’t know if he remembers this though) that made most sense to me than most things I’ve ever heard. He said, time flows at a standard pace: the bad times seems longer because we wait for it to…

The Spread is Laid
Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself. ~Anthony Bourdain Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we…
What’s Your Poison?
Tea makes everything better. ~Bindi Irwin Never trust anyone who doesn’t drink coffee. ~AJ Lee People have got to learn: if they don’t have cookies in the cookie jar, they can’t eat cookies. ~Suze Orman Give me liberty or a bran muffin! ~Colin Mochrie “Un croissant, s’il vous plaît.” (French, one croissant, please) Too few…
Ring in The Rains
Coming from Mumbai, I am not a huge fan of the rains. For people like me, who have lived in coastal cities in India, rains are followed by heat and more humidity. What acts as a bigger turn off is the post-rain muck. As the southwest monsoon winds set in, here’s a last shout out…
It’s Party Time!
Today is a special day, my lovely mother turns a year older. She’s already wise in many areas, so its going to get tough to handle her if she adds on to that wisdom. Like for most people, Ma is a role model, not just for me, but the scores of students who studied…
Bar Scenes
When you watch shows like Cheers! or movies like He’s just not that into you, you automatically assume bartenders are part time psychologists (much like hairdressers to women). But Moe Szysla of Moe’s Tavern from the Simpsons is my all time favorite. Come to think of it, all real bars are like Moe’s tavern, slurring…
What’s On The Menu?
I’m not a big eater, even when I’m drinking. But I have friends who cannot do without a bite, else its a task even load them into an Uber. Some like to dance and groove to let their alcohol levels lower down. Others just create a scene and throw up. How do you like to…
