Step Out & Check into OYO Rooms
Do you love to travel? Does India in all its diversity attract you for a quick getaway now and then? And are you one of those who rummages the internet in search of the best possible deal? If you have solemnly moved your head sideways, the way only an Indian can, in affirmation to the…

Small Space Living Ideas
My most favourite activity of all times is redecorating the house. I simply love makeovers that transform the home into a new look and feel. And modest middle class homes in Mumbai, believe me, need that sprucing every now and then. Be it the colour on the walls, or a new piece of furniture. Perhaps,…

The 13th Birthday Party – Part II
So, we had decided on an Instagram 13th Birthday Party for the princess. With the invites and the cake taken care of, I now had to look at the decor.

Life-giving, thirst quenching, refreshing and rejuvenating, this natural life force continues to be taken for granted, largely because one twist of the tap at home, and it comes gushing forth. Modern day conveniences have taken it a step further and put bottled…

My #DigitalINDIA Vision
“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance…” Into the 69th…

Meet the new Moto E – #ChooseToStart
What is it about first times that they remain etched in memory? Be it the first rain showers that quench the parched earth, or the first garbled words of a baby. Remember the jitters of your first kiss and the pride in claiming your first pay check? What about the first man on the moon…

Helping Let Go……Simple Funeral Etiquette
Death is the biggest universal truth, and yet, there is never a right time to let go of a loved one. The trauma can take years to heal, and the void is almost never filled. Grief is personal, and very relative. It takes a whole lot of ‘one day at a time’ efforts to trudge…

It’s Bloodline Bandra men, bleddy bugger!
I was tuned in to Radio One, as usual, that morning. Hrishikay welcomed his guest, an author, Godfrey Joseph Pereira. Two minutes into the conversation, I was hooked on to his book Bloodline Bandra and his people stories. He talked about the East Indians, a community I interacted with, almost, on a daily basis, and of Pali village,…
