Some impressions, about this tiny piece of arab land, along the Persian Gulf, and lots more. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Know what I did this summer (II). The usual rounds of shopping, (and yes have to concede that Pune’s fashion sense is awesome! Got tad boring, and so went for a small drive and up the hill, to the Murugan. Went to this ' Saptaha mela. At Vasco, and it was fun. The bustling crowd, the quaint little wares spread out, the entire scene was very endearing. And the lunch at a small bu...Was t...

Some impressions, about this tiny piece of arab land, along the Persian Gulf, and lots more. Monday, July 21, 2014. Not sure why or when it started, this undeniable fascination for trees. Yes, trees the ones you see along the roads gardens and well, all around you; IF, you are lucky enough. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator. Tue Jul 22, 06:50:00 AM 2014.

Desert Trails: Books
http://sandypalms.blogspot.com/p/books.html
Some impressions, about this tiny piece of arab land, along the Persian Gulf, and lots more. Had been away from Classics for a while, so picked up this one, knowing for sure it will keep me good company in the days to come. But didn't anticipate such a long run; took me almost whole of 5 months to actually finish it. Ofcourse the vacation intervened, but still, it wasn’t as if I couldn’t read then. A saga of five generations, drawn beautifully on a canvas set in the deep regions of South India, the autho...

Desert Trails: Let me to the Valley go...
http://sandypalms.blogspot.com/2012/07/let-me-to-valley-go.html
Some impressions, about this tiny piece of arab land, along the Persian Gulf, and lots more. Sunday, July 8, 2012. Let me to the Valley go. It's been a real long time, since I jotted down something, here. And it feels strange as I go through the process, acutely aware of the fact that, words flow less freely, and sense the same strangeness that creeps in, when you get back with a friend after a long lull. And then set off on our uphill ascent, from Mettupalayam, up the expansive Nilgiris, standing tall a...

Some impressions, about this tiny piece of arab land, along the Persian Gulf, and lots more. Saturday, January 24, 2009. A cool January evening, turned out to be a pleasantly surprising, transcendental experience, beyond imagination.

Meaning salutations to the one and only classical music exponent Thyagaraja Bhagadavar. Earrings), and the tinkling of Tamil all around! Thank you for the appr...

Desert Trails: A Taste of History
http://sandypalms.blogspot.com/2011/09/taste-of-history.html
Some impressions, about this tiny piece of arab land, along the Persian Gulf, and lots more. Thursday, September 15, 2011. A Taste of History. Kanyakumari as always was awe-inspiring, and a sense of calm and peace descends, while you are there. A Maratha king who out of his sheer passion for language and books, collected a huge collection (60,000 volumes), of old and rare books, in French, Dutch, Russian, Tamil and Marathi too . It was truly amazing to see the collection of old palm-leaf manuscripts, ill...
