I’m not much of a phone person. I usually buy a new phone when the old one is lost, melted or has drowned, and it is as a rule, the same model unless it is out of production. My pati dev on the other hand is a phone freak or otherwise known as Man (the gender not the species). He recently bought a new phone (for legal reasons lets be satisfied with calling it the fruity one but not the kind that

It’s a common Indian misperception that once married; women tend to put on weight. I am told it’s the result of happiness. As my friend Ninad would eloquently put it ‘ghanta happiness’. If marital bliss has to reveal itself then why only in the form of unwanted extra mass on the hips, and not as an extra hundred quid in the bank?After my two line rant, I can admit that I have actually gained five

Ashutosh once said that what words fail to express, a camera can capture. So here are some pictures taken by him which I really value, for its sentimental or artistic significance.

Ashu and I are currently surviving our first winter in the city of Birmingham. These days our vocabulary and wardrobes have been enriched with ‘thermals’ and ‘long johns’. This word really cracks me up, how many associations can the English language make with the word john. Well anyways, winter in England sees the sky in varying shades of grey. Mornings are generally defined by a lighter grey

I tried to get politically correct and considered naming the title Priya and Indian Cinema, but then I thought what the heck, Shabana Azmi is not going to read my blog now is she? So here goes, this time I want to state my case against Bollywood and more specifically the heroines who are called Priya in their films. No I am not talking about Manoj Kumar singing “Oh! Priya, Priyaaaa....”, I am

Indians are legendary for a number of things - films, food, spirituality (look at the number of yoga/meditation classes mushrooming), etc. Apart from this, we are also renowned for going to another country (legally or otherwise) and doing well for ourselves. Such is also the case of our (Ashutosh’s & my) lives at present.Ashutosh left almost a month ago to go to the UK. We have a well formulated,

When you are faced with a temperature of forty four degrees at around seven in the morning, you are encouraged to stay indoors. Now how much television can a person watch? This makes spending the waking hours of the day a daunting task. Result: Discover the art of

Auli was our next destination during the honeymoon. Auli is mostly an unknown holiday destination in India. I, in fact had a lot of people asking me which country it was in. Admittedly I too was unaware of Auli till my boss enlightened me. The non promotion of this Garhwal region makes it a pristine unspoiled ski destination, with its soaring snow clad mountains. There are only two hotels to

We vacationed in Hrishikesh (I somehow don’t like spelling it as Rishikesh) and Auli for our honeymoon (Now don’t go getting ideas!). To be frank the primary reason for choosing these destinations was because we did not have the moolah to fund the cliché holiday to Singapore, Malaysia, Maldives or Mauritius. But in all fairness Auli and Hrishikesh turned out to be a fantastic idea.We started out
