Disgruntled in general: September 2006
http://nottinautilus.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 26, 2006. I’ve never been a believer of Vaastu Shashtra or Feng Shui, even though I’ve indulged the whims of many a client who wanted their homes spiritually correct by positioning doors, windows, beds, kitchen sinks and even commodes at really odd places which completely defied logic as well as aesthetics. I gnashed my teeth in frustration or sighed wistfully every time a perfectly designed space got massacred in the name of Vaastu! Then bad things starts happening in the house quite ...

Disgruntled in general: Of Seafood, Sand, Stairs and Sex

Tuesday, June 01, 2010. Of Seafood, Sand, Stairs and Sex. This year the Memorial Day weekend turned out to be more eventful and memorable than I'd have expected. The weather sucked big time. It kept raining through the weekend washing out all chances of the usual backyard barbecue bonhomie and beer-bash and kept us mostly indoors. It was a total blast notwithstanding the weirdly fake British accent that Jakey boy was sporting. And gosh, he has beefed up seriously for the role. Well, to be kind, I have to...

Thursday, April 26, 2007. Get your own VisualDNA™. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 17, 2007. I still remember the day she was born, like it was yesterday! My sister named the rest Lolo, Goondi and Bhalo! The little fur-balls grew into playful puppies in no time and kept all of us on our toes with their mischief. They would run amok given the slightest opportunity throwing everybody in a tizzy to catch them and bring them back to safety! No one knows till date how she reached the terrace and jumped ove...

Wednesday, October 03, 2007. Confessions of a Soccer Mom. As of last week I’ve become a bona fide soccer mom! I can already visualize some of you snickering and for the uninitiated, here’s what Wikipedia has to say about soccer mom:. The term has found a life as shorthand for a stereotype far beyond its. And now add the desi quotient into the mix. Culture confused, cleanliness obsessed, academic brilliance demanding, native language enforcing, over-the-top mom! This afternoon I stood around in pouring ra...

Friday, June 15, 2007. The Origin of Crows. Once upon a time there was a small boy who lived in a city by the sea. He was a sweet little boy, quite mild mannered and was loved by every one. Being the only son after two girls, our little boy was quite privileged. His middle class parents showered him with all the gifts they could afford. He got a home-spun version of Sinclair ZX-81. This was highly unusual, because the boy didn’t have a single violent bone in his body! The Origin of Crows! These creatures...

Wednesday, September 09, 2009. Spoke to my mom today for 2hrs 20mins on international call. My Reliance calling card is probably depleted, but the very thought of her living alone in that huge cavernous house, unable to sleep, watching astrology shows in the middle of the night makes me want to cry! That I'd been able to fill some part of empty world is solace to me! When she's here she drives me crazy.when she's in Kolkata I pine for her. She's miserable and so are her boys. No amount of time spent ...

Disgruntled in general: August 2009

Tuesday, August 18, 2009. I'm back or am I, really? My fingers are itching to write, but do I really have anything to say? What do I write about? About SRK's detention at Newark airport? About the Swine Flu epidemic? May be I should write about India's youngest rapist. If heroes like Shiney Ahuja can force himself on a hapless maid, why can't a 9 yr old boy assault a 6 yr old girl? Should I write about how people just watched while the poor fellow was slapped, pushed around and kneed in the groin?

Thursday, May 20, 2010. The Northeast and my lack of knowledge. This morning while I was going through the blogs of Times Of India, I came across this one. By Tarun Vijay, spokesperson for BJP. Very interesting perspective of the situation in the Northeast, specially in Manipur. I have never been to that side of the country - hell, I've never been to Darjeeling or anywhere north of Kolkata for that matter! Links to this post. Saturday, May 15, 2010. How come you're traveling by yourself? If those questio...

Sunday, October 22, 2006. Don - A chase that shouldn't have began in the first place! I’m quite angry! No, let me rephrase that…I’m extremely angry…and confused! I don’t know whether to be mad at the teenage couple who rear-ended my car yesterday evening in crawling traffic or at Farhan Akhtar for completely massacring a classic movie like Don or at myself for being such a sucker for punishment! What a way to spend a Friday evening! Why on earth Farhan, I ask, did you think of re-interpreting with a perf...
