I am not a foodie, but I people around me sure know where to eat and what to eat. This is one of our favorite places, called Oven Fresh mainly because it is fully vegetarian and offers some of the best pastries around. What you see here is a plate of Nachos. I loved the…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning
It is a traditional Hindu belief to start the day with a visit to the temple. I am not an overtly religious person, but I believe in a supreme being. This is a picture of Tala Cauvery, the origin of the sacred River Cauvery, which gives water to two states, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and is…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Numbers
I didn’t think I would be able to post it in time this week, but I made it! I have a strange fascination with dice; I used to collect a lot of them as a kid. However, my collection has thinned out rapidly, and this is all that remains of the collection. I think it…
Crying over Spilt Tea
Singer Lenka crooned a song titled “Trouble is a Friend”, although, for me, its more like gravity is a friend of mine! Things (including myself) seem to be unceremoniously falling off everywhere I go! While most of these mishaps usually leave me with reminder scars, it’s not so bad after all. This particular picture is…
Lighting Up Our Life
When we were setting up our house, we made sure that we pick ever facet of our home with care and without over shooting our budget. We always wanted a chandelier that wasn’t too jazzy but made our living room brighter. This one fit perfectly, not just in our budget, but also with our decor!
Taking Calculated Risks
I am somewhat fascinated with this device, and the dependence I seem to have on it. In college, we were taught how to distance ourself from the gadget, with the help of Vedic maths. It is an impressive study on numbers and trains your mind in a logic way to interpret mathematics and enjoy the…
Unexpected Colors Up In The Sky
My marriage turns three today (June 6), and keeping with our annual tradition, we gifted each other a trip to somewhere far from home. It gives us the time away from everyday stresses and have fun in each other’s company. On our way to Coorg, Karnataka, that is at the South of India, we saw…
Build ’em Up!
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…
