Was talking to my cousin (mother of 2) when she was in India recently. We were reflecting on how our group of cousins behaved so differently, though we are all part of the same generation. And no, we weren't doing any behavioral analysis, though I know my cousin is quite competent at that, given her extensive experience in psychiatry (how I wish I had that kind of a different profile, sometimes,

Who doesn't like people who are funny? Now, how do you define 'funny'? Someone whom you can have fun with? Not exactly. Someone who can make you laugh? Probably yes. Now again, this can be divided into two. Those who are naturally funny (of course, these are the most eandearing of the lot) and those who try very hard. And you know what, sometimes, I tend to like those who try hard to be funny. (

COFFEE!!! The very word energizes me. Am sure there's nothing to beat a steaming hot cup of coffee, even right in the middle of a hot summer day. However, in Bombay, it's quite a task to find the best coffee in town. Coz, not surprisingly, there aren't many ;( Let me confess that I've never been an ardent coffee fan all my life. Till the time I reached Class VI/VII, I used to dread coffee,

Do you see the roads lined with multi-multi-storeyed apartments built by erstwhile co-operative societies? Do you have to pay 5000-6000 bucks a month for sharing a teeny-weeny room with 3 other people? Do you see cockroaches running on cement fake-looking non-tar roads?Everytime you dry your clothes outside, are they covered with some pigeon shit? Actually, you might feel pigeons from all over

When I've made a list of people from my school, I think it's fair to do the same for my Under-Graduation at CEG as well: So here it goes! Though this post may be of little interest to non-CEGians, I think it's important to record my memories of these people here. Unfortunately, I can't recall some of my lecturers' names. If any of you CEGian readers can, pl. let me know.Semester 1:Maths 1 -

For the past one month, the SpicMacay team at IIM B has been working hard to make Yamini 2009 a grand success. Being in the first year, this festival is my baby and I would be immensely pleased if everything went well! Right from the beginning, it has been a great struggle to organize Yamini this year. However, this is what has made the process equally interesting as well. Every company dreaded

As I type this entry, Mumbaikars are filled with trauma. This has been the nth terror strike on this city and it just doesn't seem like these attacks would stop anytime soon. Today, the fear has spread to all cities in India. Every city in the country has proven vulnerable to such attacks. I personally feel that nothing but their own realization can stop these people from these indiscriminate

I vividly remember those days back at Vikaasa in Madurai, when I was asked to write a composition on Rainy Day. I used to be really bad at writing essays then, in Class 4 and 5. Somehow, I could not get myself to be as creative or imaginative as Mrs.Menon expected me to be. One very popular topic used to be Rainy Day. What do you do on a rainy day?...Let me think about all those rainy days I've

I stitched a suit for myself a few days back. I somehow think I look funny in it. Getting used to it very slowly. Thank God it's Bangalore. I cannot imagine wearing this outfit in Chennai even in December when the temperature is just above 31 C! There are so many forms to fill, so many quizzes to prepare for and a lot of fun as well, with Vista coming up very soon!

This post is just to serve as the break to the long break that I had taken from blogging. However, this doesn't in any way mean that I would now start blogging with renewed vigour. Am at Chennai till June 20th, just lazing around. So, I do get ample time to spruce up my blog and will surely do that. Will be back with something I can really blog about.

This post is a tribute to all the great souls who have taught me music and continue to be my inspiration in life. Music has always been my passion. One of my significant childhood memories at Vikaasa is that of my music sessions with Mrs. Lakshmi Parthasarathy in a huge "Interest" hall, next to the KG block at school. I used to love the wooden staircase in that

This post will be followed only by Vikaasites who have spent a couple of years at Madurai. Had some wonderful teachers at school. I'm just documenting their names here so that I can always return to this post and remember being tutored by them long back. Will keep updating the list as and when I remember more people.

Loads of hardwork goes into the preparation for a wedding. It is heartening to see your cousins and friends getting married and stepping into the next phase of their lives. Suddenly, so many people around me seem to be tying the knot. Over the past 3 months, 2 of my first cousins got married. Last month, my batchmate at college was the one who entered wedlock. The

Have you ever seen people eating idly with 2 spoons?..No?..Welcome to Bangalore. Even the slightly decent eateries here offer a spoon with every dish served, even for a dosa. Now, are we still in India? ..Very much indeed, in the IT capital of the nation. Being a relatively newcomer here, I really am unaware of when exactly this practice of eating SouthIndian dishes with Western cutlery

After almost 17 years at Madurai, I had to shift to Chennai for my college education. It was a huge transition for me but I loved it, the main reason being FREEDOM. Moreover, I just wanted to get out of Madurai for a while(17 years in one place is a long time !!!). The CEG hostels (Block 2 room 39, if I'm right) welcomed me with their shabby cobweb-infested rooms and to make things

It is a pleasant surprise to see television artistes like Swarnamalya and 'Pattabhi' M.S.Bhaskar in convincing roles in the silver screen after a long time, thanks to Mozhi. Meaningless stunts, dialogues with double entendre, glamour that often crosses the border into vulgarity, melodrama - all these get a big NO NO in Radha Mohan's "Mozhi". Rather, it is subtlety that reigns supreme throughout.

I am an ardent fan of Maniratnam and always eagerly look forward to the release of his movies. Mindblowing screenplay, excellent camera work, brilliant performances and refreshingly thematic music score are some aspects that characterise an offering from the MBA graduate(Mani himself!). And "Guru" is certainly not a letdown in any of these categories. However, does Mani have to refurbish his
