Habituated

It doesn’t really matter.Bad habits,hard-to-throw-off habits will somehow find their way back into your life.Like the time I was ranting about how my handbag was always used like a trash can ? Ever since I got here,I have barely used my trash can.Backpacks are more suitable for the cold weather.However,I realize that hasn’t helped me [...]

The perfect Indian Dinner

Eleven months in Deutschland and I am yet to utter one complete sentence in German.But,but,but, that has never stopped me from watching German TV programmes.The TV is hypnotic.Even if I don’t understand a single word of whats being said,just turning it on turns “house” into “home”.”Loneliness” into “lazing happily on the couch”. And thats precisely [...]

“Rain rain go away.
Come again another day”
What wisdom ! Rain looks good only in the movies.And only when pretty heroines are prancing around or chocolate-boy heroes are dancing about it. I fit neither category.
One can’t step out. And even if one does,the rain makes you all soggy and slushy.Just can’t stand it.
Next,this chill weather.Freaks me [...]

What is it with online social networking ?? It takes all the fun out of suddenly meeting an old friend,out of the blue,at a mall,staring at him,his balding patch,his growing paunch,long and hard for a while , likewise from the other side,he/she staring at you with that look of incredulity (like,really ,is that you???) and [...]

Why pay 50,000 rupees to your new in-laws when you can pay 500 rupes for an abortion ?
The first thing that irked me when I read this,was that,India [...]

What can I say?

Recently,I saw this video of a little kid (say around 2 years old) singing.Her singing was cute,she was cute but when you come to what she was singing..er..I beg to differ.This little thing who can barely utter words properly yet was singing “Ponmeni ,uruguthey” [Movie:Moonraam Pirai. Actors:Kamal and Silk Smitha.Now you know what kind of [...]
