I smiled to myself and thought of last Sunday, when I spent an hour onContinue reading “Coffee, Books, Shows and Things That Bond Us”
Gratitude Journal #3 – Books
I mean, this was expected, wasn’t it? A huge thank you to stories. All the stories I’ve grown up reading. All the stories that saved me. All the stories that are still saving me. And where do these stories live? You got it – books! Before I get down to thanking Books, I have toContinue reading “Gratitude Journal #3 – Books”
A Lifetime In The Kitchen
What is it with Indian cuisine? Why have we made our lives so difficult having such elaborate meals and cuisines which have recipes that lead to our cooks spending hours and probably their entire lives in the kitchen, for a fully balanced, well cooked meal?

Gratitude Journal #2 – Superheroes
Have you ever wondered about the Superheroes you read about or watch?

#10MINADAY Challenge – Day 12: An Ideal Day
If someone had asked me this question maybe just ten years ago – “What would your ideal day be like?, I would have had a very detailed and specific answer ready.
