Kielbasa isn't the most famous import of Poland. The phrase "not my circus, not my monkey" is apparently a translation of the Polish saying, "nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy" and boy does it get bandied about a lot! So while the circus may still put up a tent that you wanted no part of... Continue Reading →
There comes a magical stage in a woman’s life when everyone around her suddenly needs her. Not wants her. Needs her. Her elderly parents need her. Her in-laws need her.

There are many ways to identify a Bengali. Some will say it's the love of fish. Others-Rabindra Sangeet, heated debates over football, or the uncanny ability to locate the nearest sweet shop within a five-kilometre radius; with unsolicited advice over which type of sweet which shop excels at making. These people have clearly never witnessed... Continue Reading →

Whether it had marketed itself as a scary movie or not, the storyline, acting, and build-up to the climax are loosely woven together. As a result, the movie falls down pretty quickly. The pace...

It's quite fitting that this particular post is centered around keeping calm and doing something; especially now. There has been turmoil in the world for a while now and it's recently come to our doorstep. Never a good thing even when we are sitting comfortably far away from the where the danger actually lies. But... Continue Reading →
I just read this article online. I had to express myself. My first reaction was a knee-jerk and rather annoyed one. However, my second reaction was more controlled and contemplative.
