‘Why do I want to buy shades?’ – is the question I was once very prone to ask myself. But this was before my encounter with the sunglasses salesman in a large store in a large mall in Delhi. My wife and I were at the shades counter there and I was looking wistfully at...
‘This book,’ I said to a friend, ‘doesn’t have stories from this century nor from any of the centuries that you read about in the history books.’ ‘Really?’ he was confused and appeared reluctant to know more. ‘However,’ I persisted, ‘ this book has stories that still have the power to connect with your present...
This happened in the mid-nineties when I was in York, UK. My wife was there working for her DPhil as a Commonwealth Scholar and I was there with her for a few months to help her settle down and, of course, see as much of that country as possible. We had Pushkin, our son, with...

Trip: Port Blair and Havelock. February 2012. Our stay in Havelock had been nothing short of heaven so far.
