Mostly Harmless: April 2007

http://bachao.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

If Siddhu were to describe these loosely strung together pages filled with junk. he would say they were - Baligaesque. Sunday, April 29, 2007. I was tagged by. To post about 5 restaurants I like in Bombay. well, since I've explored more of Bangalore than Bombay, I'll be talking about restaurants in Bangalore. I must start of by telling you that for me a restaurant is more about the feel rather than the cuisine. Oh yeah . and they have to be easy on the pocket. :). This place is a tea lover's delight....

Days of Alpana: Don't do it!

http://daysofalps.blogspot.com/2014/06/dont-do-it.html

Scribbling the days of my life. Monday, June 02, 2014. Old post in draft mode found! No, no, no! I've done it and all of my friends have done it. And in most cases screwed up what we had. The difference in the other cases was probably that the other party was more forgiving than the average Joe (or Jane). What are we doing wrong, you ask? Here's a brief compilation. Tips for the gents:. So you've had a fight. Don't, fuckin don't, ever, ever, call her a bitch or a whore! You're getting a paunch! Sure we a...

Days of Alpana: November 2013

http://daysofalps.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Scribbling the days of my life. Monday, November 11, 2013. How much can you consume? It's amazing the kind of greed that has been proliferating so blatantly in the name of consumerism. From being frowned upon, it has become the norm. Do you remember the time when you got new clothes only on your birthdays, Diwali (Durga Puja too in my case) and weddings? That make a total of 4 times a year. Four fucking times. If you're under 20, you can't even imagine how little that is! Or it is how we have learned to ...

Days of Alpana: March 2011

http://daysofalps.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Scribbling the days of my life. Sunday, March 27, 2011. When men go bad. I started writing this in January 2011, and I think I will finally complete and publish it. You know it was the worst relationship of your life when even after years of not being together, the man still brings immense grief to you. By his words as well as his actions. And so it begins.". I am far less stressed out and value myself far more. All goes to show, that all you need is some courage to let go. It's never too late!

Days of Alpana: April 2012

http://daysofalps.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Scribbling the days of my life. Thursday, April 26, 2012. Five months down the line. No blogging, hardly any facebooking, no partying, no time. And I’m only 5 months into marriage! And we are toh both Bengalis! Solution – let your parents handle it. Completely. Don’t ask for anything and you won’t be let down! So at 7 am the next morning, we had only caught 1 hour of sleep (there was partying and loud music till 6! And the bidai (vidai) began. One more ritual. Sigh. And to go where? In Calcutta, our 6 da...

You're not the average middle class woman who gets off work, buys bhaaji from the station, gets on to the train, cuts and cleans her bhaaji in the 2nd class compartment, gets off at her stop and makes it home just in time to cook for her family. Oh how Dhoble has screwed her schedule! Let Mumbai have a character of its own. In a city where the municipal ...

Scribbling the days of my life. Thursday, April 18, 2013. When you want to bite more than you can chew. When the real TFI begins in June, I'm told I'll have 6 hours of school and then another few hours of after-school activity as well. That, coupled with Spacebar might make me tear my hair off! Most importantly, I want to do justice to the kids who I will be responsible for and if push comes to shove, Spacebar will have to pause. That I am very clear of. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Heart, mind and soul.

http://daysofalps.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Scribbling the days of my life. Saturday, March 09, 2013. Every time you turn around, you see text somewhere. It starts the moment you wake up to your alarm saying "7:00 am" (or 11:00 am, who am I to judge? P) Your home is text-filled with the most obvious - books, magazines, newspaper - to the less obvious like body products, food packets, remote controls, electronic items.I can go on and on! Text is all around us. So the big question is - who writes this content? Do you love to write? Once in a while, ...
