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....

ode to a wine bottle cork
Germans are known for their precision in all things. This quality has not escaped their wine corks, which have an ability to jump up like champagne corks, hit on right on the cute lil pug nose and knock out all whimsical notions out of you!! Had spent yesterday in great leisure. Had rolled about, stretched... Continue Reading →
un-fucking believable!!
Management students! BAH! HUMBUG!I don't want to sound prissy when I say this but we weren't like this when we were studying. While being goody-goody DID NOT enter the picture, the level of ignorance, lethargy and the maha lackadaisical attiudes that these people manifest is honestly sickening!!Time management is alien to the majority, sleeping is...

8 years since MCC
8 years ago, 5 girls got acquainted at MCC B'lore and took to each other like ducks to water. They weren't the starry-eyed FOTB at college but the kind of crowd they saw at MCC did make them think, "oh wow!". Time went by, endless cups of coffee were shared at Chechi's canteen. Chechi had long... Continue Reading →
and on we go…
limping back to normalcy.got in touch with some of my friends pretty late in the night and felt somewhat comforted by it.had been caught in a similar situation myself pretty much around the same time in 2003. Not a good thing to be in. There are lock-downs, you cannot get in touch with anyone, neither... Continue Reading →
