Why two and a half? Well..I might not get everything out with just two cents worth ergo the extra half cent to properly cover the bases. Without further ado let me mention that this blog post is about the now uber scandalous Sheena Bora Murder Case. Initially it was just the online editions of the various... Continue Reading →
Bengali Parents: A Glimpse Into The Paaglaami
'Paaglaami' is a favorite word of the Bengali people. It means madness. The word paaglaami is derived from one of the uber favorite words of theirs as well..."paagol". This word is never said in a droll, flat manner. Oh no..the word paagol is uttered in a manner which reeks of food being relished and tasted thoroughly... Continue Reading →
Realizations at 4:45 A.M
On an early morning drive to the airport, roughly 36 kms of thinking time, I realized the following: 1. Robert Palmer is very repetitive. And annoying. Addicted to Love is getting deleted from the playlist. 2. Morons, the real ones, are very consistent. Moronic all the time. All days of the week. Never take a... Continue Reading →
From One Woman To Another
I can't help but use labels although I don't always like them. But labels help in identifying things, people or events and Kiran Gandhi's running the London Marathon while "free-bleeding" has definitely become an "event" on the internet. Now it might be a knee-jerk reaction to go 'WTF' followed by an "ewww" but I wanted... Continue Reading →

Dealing With A Sick Kid
This is how a day with a kid who's home sick is likely to go: Teeth gnashing. Foot stomping. Angst. Frustration. Sleepiness. Annoyance. Howls. Ire. Pouting. Sulking. Swearing (albeit mildly). Refusing to eat. Looking at the world with a jaundiced eye. Growls. Snarls. Roars. Miffed murmurs. And that's all you. What does the kid do?... Continue Reading →
Ode To A Hot Cuppa Tea
Coffee rejuvenates. It brings us back from the dead but there's a (uplifting) magic in a hot cup of tea as well. Picture this- a clear tawny liquid that you can see straight through. Add a healthy squeeze of lemon and some slivers of ginger into the mix and you have a hot, tangy sip... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Get Hard
I seldom get around to watching new movies while they are still new. But atleast I got to this movie before a new calendar year started. And why is that important? Because I laughed until I wheezed, gasped and cried after a really, really long time. And that, in my book, is priceless! So the movie... Continue Reading →
