friends, that is. i was slightly funereal and a friend tried to cheer me up and pinky-promised that he'd do something. aww... it was the whole vision of childhood's katti and making up later that made me smile.
whatta week!!
Ever have one of those weeks (of course you have!) where you get into work all pepped up and by lunch time realised that you've bitten off more than you can chew? Well this week was all that and more. There was the usual routine in the office, mom had errands at home that needed... Continue Reading →
Lady in the Water was way too watery!!
Shyamalan's been making movies which cater to the preternatural in the scheme of things. But this last movie of his may end up biting the dust.For one thing, it's slower than a slug and the other is that it doesn;t build up pace so picking it up later is somewhat difficult.Fairy tales can and do...

movie review-omkara
Hyperbole killed the fun. The movie was definitely NOT usual bollywood fare. But the over-enthusiastic responses that I'd got from my pals had made me so agog. too agog I think.These are the things that I was thinking while watching it-1)Who told Ajay Devgan that being monosyllabic was the way to establish that you're the serious...

After a long, long while my dad was available without the phone ringing off the hook, files piling up and all the blah stuff that consumes post-middleaged execs.Anyhow, we took a trip together and it turned out to be a memorable day in the family...

college coven
The rains brought to mind another memory from the days of rapture, hedonism and carelessness aka college days.Four of us had planned a sleepover in one of our houses. The rains came down, the lights went off and we sat on Viji's bed with a big candle keeping the room aglow and mugs of hot... Continue Reading →
am gurling in the raaaaaaaaain!!
As opposed to singing in it. It's been raining whalies and ellies in hyd'bad for the past few days now and each time I look up at the sky (hoping to catch a few raindrops on my face) I end up getting the whole cloudburst treatment. but it's FUN!! squishing around on the muddy roads, splashing the...

memories
woke up today morning to the sound of bells tolling but not the loud clanging kind. they were more the kind of smaller bells, the kind my grandmother (dad's mom) used to ring every morning and evening while the puja for the family deity was conducted. that used to be her contribution to the family....
