“Rich and creamy New York-style cheesecake swirled with pureed fresh strawberries and a hint of lime juice, all nestled in a buttery graham crust”
beamed the lunch special menu. S was wowed. Well who wouldn’t be, look at the picture! She changed her order from bread and Earl Grey tea to just the dessert. The [...]

Thanks to a bunch of super hypers, after 9 long years I was lugged back to the wonderful world of the game of Seven Stones, (or as it is otherwise known, Lagori or something to that effect). Saturday morning was a morning of dark skies, extreme rain, a dimension sans the intellect, [...]

I have expressly borrowed the title from William Dalrymple’s travelogue for Delhi, the capital of India: a place with a raging and celebrated past. I cannot think of words more fitting to illustrate it, the city of genies. In the most clichéd terms, Delhi is a hot melting pot of all cultures. One of the [...]

I would probably get screamed at by her for using the word ‘tuition’ here. She hated the word tuition. In fact in class if the word slipped out by mistake, she would yell, “Yei! Don’t use bad words like ‘tuition’! Tuition is for makku pasanga! Are you a makku? This is ‘coaching class’”. Shrimathi ma’am’s [...]

Time: 3:50 PM
Place: Cubicle S14-42, IHPC, Fusionopolis
IHPC (The place I am interning at) has moved from Science Park II (behind PGP) to Fusionopolis. I was really excited about it; well, mostly because we got a 3-day holiday and today we had orientation at the new place, which meant, along with the weekend, a 6-day break. [...]

Hola!
I realized it’s been a while since I updated my newborn blog. In fact it took me a while to realize that I actually have a blog and I need to update it. Lots of things had a hand in this seemingly inadvertent neglect: my computer crashed and so it was gone for a [...]

When a Tamilian ( a Palakkad Tamilian, if I may) shifts to North India, a few sizeable repercussions are bound to take place. Especially if a pure Chennai bred Palakkad Tamilian moves to New Delhi.
This blog is definitely not for the purpose of whining about how moving to Delhi has catastrophically changed my life [...]

Indian Advertising:
After migrating to Singapore and living in a world sans TV, if there’s one thing I miss about the small screen, it’s got to be the advertisements! My love for Indian ads started out when I was a very small and rather annoying kid. I was hyper all the time. And I used [...]

Place and Setting: Room, Raffles Hall, NUS. Breezy. Moonlight Sonata.
Look for me by moonlight;
Watch for me by moonlight;
I’ll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way!
The afternoon was sweltering hot. I was slouching painfully under the rickety fan looking out the window where the [...]
