Life has come full circle from ten years ago – when I moved to Bombay, job in hand, PG room in Khar, four-figured salary (gasp! what will I do with all that money? and my own visiting card with my own name!) – and nights out in what used to be called ‘town’ (still is?).… Continue reading Let me count the ways…
A setback
After waiting and watching the pain for a few days, I finally went to the ortho last night. One of the discs in the cervical spine that has been operated upon is in stress again; a nerve pinch and therefore the agony.

An evening at Mahabalipuram
At the shore temple, among other things, shooting is prohibited. Guns? Movies? TV serials? So is sticking of bills, cycles, scooters, dogs… And if you have any ideas of keeping it green, be warned – that is prohibited too.

Jet Airways proudly announced its new look – new… Continue reading Go, change!
Rain in the metro
Life in a.. Metro. Caught the show first day (a thing I rarely manage). The movie juggles (mostly unsuccessfully, I think – simply because you just sit and wait for the act to fall apart) several characters, each of them related to others in the movie one way or the other. (Just to tell you… Continue reading Rain in the metro

I have been reading Where soldiers fear to tread for over a month now. It is not the sort of book you can pick up and breeze through. Anything but breeze through. follow the link and see the picture of the boy with the gun – and this is just one of the disturbing images… Continue reading “suffer the little children”
On qualitative research and photography
Of late, I have been spending a lot of time on photography sites looking at some wonderful stuff and looking for tips ands tricks in the process. One thing I never could do with a camera is point it at someone’s face and capture a momnt or an emotion, or even just that face… (portrait,… Continue reading On qualitative research and photography

Alistair gets 6 months for killing 7 people – front page – Times of India (link when it gets uploded on their website – for now, log into their e-paper). Dilip in country you know – But please do not worry particularly about public reaction to this sentence. Because — so lucky! — it came… Continue reading Subject World Cup
