“Revenge of a food blogger” My entry for the get published contest
The idea Love, they say, is an emotional high that doesn’t care much about logic. We are all capable of this form of love that has all the DNA of innocuous abstractness floating in it… and yet it is love alone that makes the human mind read between the lines, link up all the logical...
Do we really need to chat so much?
I had this email talking of WeChat open on the screen when Specky, my wife ambled in the study and asked, ‘Whatsapp is misbehaving today. Is there any other app that I can have as a back-up?’ ‘Try WeChat,’ I said without delay and then read out the details from the email to her. She...
Life – Change – Blogging… are they connected?
Do lines change lives? Will words ever move in or shuffle out to brighten moments? Or will they obey logic to make unbiased decisions? Do lines change lives? Is it correct to use the word ‘do’ in the above lines… or will it be more appropriate to have used the word ‘can’? Both ways the...
The shanivar spaghetti
We were in London and we opened our eyes to find ourselves trapped inside Eyot House as it was raining heavily that Saturday. Going out anywhere seemed impossible as it wasn’t the usual London drizzle but a rather heavy downpour. ‘Doesn’t happen often,’ remarked Monika and then added, ‘but don’t worry, it will stop in...
Some perspectives on ‘soak no more’
I first wanted to title this post in a more straight-forward manner and just call it: Surf Excel and a dirt blob. But I held myself back from it because wherever I look I find only subterfuge, facades, and truth hidden somewhere in riddles. The mesh of obscurity is as dense as a dirt spot...
Me in Melbourne… and Melbourne in me
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” (John Lennon) I know I dream. But do cities too dream? I believe they do and they constantly dream of people. Cities thrive and flourish when there are people there within it and loving it. No, this isn’t a...
Questioning the arrangement of love
There is always a lot of life in a question. More life than a mere answer can ever dream of having. Questions keep the debate going on, let the war rage on, allow people to over-step their jurisdiction and think fresh, push desire and ambition to move their butt and go forth into the unknown....
Seduction
Seduction isn’t just a word used by chefs all over the world to name their delicious pastries or meringues or mousse or cakes! Seduction also isn’t just a word in the dictionary that poets dig out when they wish to impress their girlfriends. Seduction is more than any meaning… it goes round all the emotions...
Hair-care mantra

Thoughts on the train to Katoomba
Trip: Sydney. 2012. Expedia made this trip to Sydney possible. You can catch them on Facebook, twitter, and even on Youtube. Going up three flights of escalators to reach the ground floor of the Sydney central station was just as easy as finding the platform from where my Intercity for Katoomba would be leaving. There were large...
Observing people at the airport
Trip: Sydney. 2012. Expedia made this trip to Sydney possible. You can catch them on Facebook, twitter, and even on Youtube. ‘What do you do when you cross the security check and have a lot of time on your hands?’ asked a friend once. ‘Well, I talk to my wife,’ I answered simply. ‘And when you’re alone?’...
Sustainable Sydney
Trip: Sydney. 2012. Expedia made this trip to Sydney possible. You can catch them on Facebook, twitter, and even on Youtube. There is art everywhere in Sydney. I stepped out of Amora on Jamison Street and came face to face with art. Walk in any direction and you’ll encounter art. In front of building, in laneways, near...
