As usual, I was stuck in traffic near the Baiyappanahalli Metro Station on my way to work today, when something unusual happened. The AC in my share cab, broke down. So, windows were rolled down, sleeves were rolled up, collar buttons were unbuttoned and frustrated sighs were heaved as we waited patiently in the traffic. …
We were discussing ex-boyfriends at work a few months ago and some very interesting stories came to light. Each one of us have dated weirdos at some point but one story inevitably stole the show. I am going to tell you that story on behalf of my coworker. I will use first person because it …
Ever since I made Methi Malai Chicken and it turned out to be pretty yummy, Sanchari has been asking me to write a post about it here. When she posts a food photograph on her profile (especially the ones cooked by me), she often gets asked about the recipe and this time, she just wanted …

When we first decided to go to Wayanad for a long weekend, I had no idea what the place would really be like. We had booked a cottage in Coffee Acres Plantation resort, a beautiful resort only around 4 kms away from the main city of Kalpetta. The pictures looked lovely and we had a …
There have been times, innumerable times, when we have stepped out of ourselves because of love and for those we loved. We have wanted to be loved and understood desperately, no matter what the cost. We have tirelessly tried to make ourselves smaller, more lovable, more presentable by others’ standards for such a long time …
When I visited the beautiful city of Darjeeling in 1999, I was just a little girl with wonder and amazement in my eyes. We had come with my Dadu, Dida, Mama, Mami and my infant cousin brother Shubho. Though the 10-year-old me was mesmerised by the Kanchenjungha, it was not a very pleasant vacation overall, …
So, you are in Gangtok and looking for restaurants to have good food after a hectic day of sightseeing.
