Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la…

Potential terrorists reconnoitring Bangalore’s hotels must be quaking in their shoes at the new beefed-up security at the Leela Palace hotel. Now, the security is so tight, you almost feel like you are going through airport security. However, Jahnavi and I did not let that dim our pleasure as we went to Leela to see…

Maharathi – Movie review (Spoilers ahead)…

Maharathi starring three acting powerhouses – Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, and Paresh Rawal is a huge disappointment. If you still want to know more, here goes… Maharathi is supposedly based on a Gujarati play…but it develops more like a James Hadley Chase novel. In fact, the setting of the movie, and the charcterization of the…

I’m so afraid because i am so profoundly happy. Happiness like this is frightening. They only let you be this happy if they are preparing to take something from you. ~ The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini A must read, even if the main protagonist is so cowardly, it makes you cringe inside.

Trying out a new theme

Have been feeling a little bored with my green theme, and thought about trying out some other options. After a bit of playing around, I settled on this current one called Misty Look. The header on this page is actually a photo I took of a sunset in Colombo. Not too sure how it looks,…

Laughathon at Barbeque Nation

Contrary to popular perception, this is a pretty veg-friendly restaurant with enough options for me to be comfortable, relax, and enjoy myself. The availability of wine on the house also helped đŸ™‚ We sat n chatted n laughed so much…

My WordPress wishlist

In the past, I have blogged regarding my dissatisfaction with the inability to add my Shelfari bookshelf to my WordPress blog. Now, I have another addition to my wishlist. Recently, I bought a new Sony Ericsson mobile phone (K530i) One of the reasons why I picked up this phone was that it has a neat…

Depressed ? Go shopping

Last week was one of those weeks, a bit blah and depressing (weather also partly to blame). I was really looking forward to doing something over the weekend to kind of cheer myself a bit. And when in Bangalore, nothing de-stresses more than a bout of shopping (especially shoe shopping). I have been sorely in…

In Praise of the Office Cafeteria

No, the heading is not a typo. I am truly singing the praises of my office cafeteria. So far during my professional career, I have come across the following types of cafeteria options : Cheap and plentiful, but awful tasting food Decent fare, but so expensive that you go outside the office and eat junk…

Fooling around with LibraryThing

I love trying out anything new, especially new links or games. This time, I decided to try LibraryThing. This is a book website that is very similar in concept to Shelfari. Although I quite like Shelfari and use it to virtually catalogue all the books I have read and love, I would like to add…
