How much do I hate Aish? Let me count the ways. I know, and have known for a while now that Aish is definitely past her best-by date. Seeing two Aish movies (. Almost back to back only re-confirmed it for me. But this post isn’t just about Aish being past her best-by date. There’s no big deal in that. I can think of plenty of other actresses and actors who are post their best-by date, but are holding on like grim death. Okay, let’s be generous here – very, very few people have that ‘X&#...Maybe its becau...

Seagulls at Petone beach (right opposite my office building). Eastbourne on the hills. Wellington CBD from across the bay. The ferry coming in from Picton. How can you not? Posted by Pollux aka Paps. 1 people took the time to talk. Links to this post. Out of the blue, I am seized by a sudden and powerful longing to be back home, a violent wave of homesickness. Why, after 11 years away? Why, when I’ve just gotten back after a long holiday in India? Why, when we have friends, a life and much more here?

Aaah, the Delhi CWG have made me an athlete/gymnast. When I see colleagues coming towards me to ask why we messed up so badly, I run in the opposite direction. When I am not successful in running away, I squirm and writhe fluidly with the shame of being labelled, not an Indian, but by being lumped with those Indians (and even Pakistanis) like Suresh Kalmadi, Lalit Bhanot, and the zillion others who have dirtied India Shining, thanks to the CWG exposes. The daily dose gets dirtier as the days pass by.

The power of 10. Whatever the reason, she wasn’t very sad to leave Bhubaneshwar for the more cosmopolitan delights of Kolkata. The train thundered in shortly afterwards and the porter was immediately at her side with the luggage. They started speed walking towards her compartment. She hurriedly jumped in and started looking at seat numbers. Horrors, her seat was already occupied. The porter had already lowered her luggage to the ground. But – the porter was back. He was waving the wad of notes ...She did...

Guess what I am doing right now? As part of my worried mom act, I called up big N (who is in India now on a completely impulsive holiday) yesterday to check on her well-being. Hi, guess what I am doing right now," was her response as soon as she picked up the phone. I am riding a camel outside the Taj (Mahal).". And guess what I am doing right now in NZ? Waiting for the summer that is almost finished but hasn't yet arrived! Posted by Pollux aka Paps. 2 people took the time to talk. Links to this post.

My teenager is taking me to the movies tonight. Not just any movie: we’re going for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1'. Not just with anyone: with my teenager and her friends. Because, apparently, I am ‘cool’ enough! Posted by Pollux aka Paps. 3 people took the time to talk. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Once upon a time. FEEDJIT Live Traffic Feed.

She’s hoped, dreamed, planned and plotted all this year just so they can both land up at home in Chennai and surprise the family – by their sudden, joint visit on Deepavali day! Having already been through two flights across multiple time zones, normally, the last leg of the journey is the most tiresome. But not today. She whiles away the time by letting her imagination run riot down memory lane…. She can barely sit still during the short tax ride home! Then finally, they were home! She knockss on the do...
