Before you get ideas, I am not implying that you head out for a smoke. Personally I can never figure out what drives people to tobacco in any form. I am talking about bubbles made with straw and soap water, that used to be a highlight in most of our beach trips as kids. I…

Insanity Redefined
Whenever there is a major festival celebrated among masses, you will find enough support from political parties. Being the second largest democracy in the world basically means that we have enough political parties to pick and choose from, and none of them emerge as clear favorites.

Loyal Till The End!
On your stroll through the Charles Bridge, at Prague, Czech Republic, you would find tourists patting a pretty dog cast in gold. This is at the foot of the oldest statue on the bridge, that of St. John of Nepomuk. History says that the Saint was thrown off the bridge in 1393 where he drowned and his loyal…
Stained with Goodness
I always believed that a clean and clear glass is better than one which is stained. But those stained on purpose, what is their significance?

RIP….
I write technology for a living, and the fact that a brilliant mind like Steve “Apple” Jobs makes for a very disturbing news bit so early in the morning. High priced or not, the products he came out with changed the face of how we use and perceive technology. I recently had a very moving conversation…

The Goddess makes her presences in our locality, where she blesses us with all her might, during the nine day Navratri festivities. As we gear up to rejoice the praises of Goddess Saraswati, its time for new lessons to be learnt in life, and share the knowledge you have acquired all this while. May her…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Sunset 2
I got this shot on our visit back from the Ranthambore National Park, off a moving jeep. The picture is a bit hazy, but it was too amazing a shot to throw away. I love the tree silhouette that blocks the setting sun, accentuating it further, making the picture looks magical. What do you think?
Street Food at its Best!
Bhelpuri is one of the most popular street foods that grace the city of Mumbai. The mixture is made with puffed rice, thin fried noodles (sev), salted peanuts, and is seasoned with a tamarind-jaggery-dates chutney and a spicy garlic-green chilly chutney spices and condiments and garnished with boiled potatoes, tomatoes, onions, fresh coriander, and dash of lime, all mixed and…
