My memories of holi
Colors colors every where...Well the very first line of my latest blog (yes im finally writing one after ages) bring back some very vivid memories of this festival during my childhood. Since my dad has had a transferable job, and no im not an army kid but daughter of a geologist, i happened to have got the oppurtunity of experiencing it in its very... more...

Rounded Destiny
They were both from the same middle-class background…humble, yet very inspiring, instilling. And they both had a vision…they both wanted to be famous and famed. But Ravi and Vinay were two different personalities, two different personas, two different minds…legendary yet complex. Where Ravi was into hardcore romance, the poor boy-meets-rich girl dr... more...

To skirt or not to skirt
It was just yesterday that a male friend of mine challenged me to justify a woman's right to wear revealing clothes and yet not expect grabbing male attention in the wrong sense. All i can say to my dear friend is that as a a free, independent, working and most importantly a thinking female i don't hold myself accountable, for my actions forget my ... more...

Who would i 'd rather live with??
Flipping through channels, at the dead of the night, i came across a very interesting talk show where the topic chosen for dissection was "is it possible for today's India to accept the mixed gender flatmate scenario?" . Like all the other chat shows there was the host, in this case a famous bollywood actor (since the show is aired on a recently st... more...

Battle of the sexes
Just a chance discussion with one of my male friends opened up the Pandora's box for me. And what came out of the box shocked me out of my wits thinking that such disparity in sexes still exists. India's leading daily, Times of India, would be crying hoarse celebrating generation 'I'- as the face of new India- but the fact is that the very roots of... more...

Be a vegetarian...accha hai!!
Remember the advertisement where Meneka Gandhi used to pop up on the television screen and urge everyone to go green, the healthy way? I always thought what is it that would drive a hardcore carnivore, like me, to give it up all and settle for a more fugral diet of 'ghaas-phoos' and limited options? But i guess that is what change is all about...it... more...
