Postcards From J: January 2014

http://jpostcards.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 14, 2014. The blinds at my office window were down but I could see a moving shadow behind it. Then it hit me! There was a simple brown paper kite suspended a little away. So I tried sliding the window glass. It was jammed. Looks like it hadn't been opened in a while. Nail chipped. Left index finger. Dammit. The three rascals waiting for the kite. They must have been 10-12 years old. I didn't utter a word the whole time. Mainly because there are others working in the same room as me.

Postcards From J: March 2014

http://jpostcards.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 11, 2014. 2012 That was the year I had earmarked for a trip to Sri Lanka with a couple of my friends. But fate intervened. My brother met a lovely girl in April that year and decided to get married. That same year. In December! Sri Lanka still holds one of the top spots on my wander list. Well, I give you three obvious ones:. 1 The place itself! Sri Lanka has a lot to offer. Travellers can soak up the sun at a beach or chug through the countryside in a train or be surrounded by lush pl...

Postcards From J: January 2013

http://jpostcards.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 09, 2013. From "It's late. I insist on driving you home." to "Is it ok if I drop you halfway? From "Call/text me as soon as you reach home." to "Do you want to take the train? From "I've taken down the rickshaw number. Please get home safe." to "How are you going home? And then not even checking if I boarded some public transport. Should've seen it coming. Postcard sent by j. Friday, January 04, 2013. This is a little moment I captured for myself today. Catch you later,. I Love: Mumbai...

Saturday, November 01, 2014. Wake me up when September. oh wait, even October has ended! Wow time really flies. Two months to 2015! While I continue being busy over the next seven weeks, I do have a few interesting non-work things to look forward to.

In any case, don't forget to check out the book. A photo posted by j (@vodkaholic). But w...

Postcards From J: November 2013

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

Tuesday, November 26, 2013. I love discovering. A quaint store, an underrated food joint, local markets, a tree-lined lane (increasingly, a rarity in Bombay), second-hand books, quirky merchandise, a cool bargain, picture postcards (finding a nice one in Mumbai is an achievement) and just about anything. It's my curiosity that eggs me on to do these things. A local market in Goa. Participation was imminent. My Santee's wishlist had a generic mix of things s/he wanted (not gonna reveal the gender yet)...

Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Getting older (and hopefully, wiser). Birthdays, I tell you. They creep up on you. Just like that. But hey! I'm actually not feeling anything about getting older this year. :). CPK's Red Velvet Cake. Delish. But you have to try it out. I quite love it. So, another year goes by. Kris. Assured me, "you aren't getting older, you're just getting better". And then when I was being silly, RB. Reminded me, ". Who very sweetly remembered the date inspite of being in a corner of China.

Postcards From J: June 2013

http://jpostcards.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. The heavens opened up last Friday (and also earlier that week) and created the usual havoc that Mumbai gets to face. But hey, most of our city's problems are man-made. Nay, let me rephrase that. Most of the problems here are BMC-made. And as I type this in the afternoon and look at the brightness outside my work window, I say: I'm grateful for the rains but THANK YOU FOR THE SUNSHINE TODAY. Postcard sent by j. Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Note to self, perhaps? Hope the rain earlie...

Postcards From J: Heartbreak Warfare

http://jpostcards.blogspot.com/2015/03/heartbreak-warfare.html

Friday, March 13, 2015. It takes very little to break one's heart, no? Indeed, it takes very little. PS: Don McLean's American Pie plays in my head as I type this. Only because: ". I know that you're in love with him/ 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym/ You both kicked off your shoes/ Man, I dig those rhythm and blues./ I was a lonely teenage bronckin' buck/ With a pink carnation and a pickup truck/ But I knew I was outta luck/ The day the music died.".
