Getting Knotty…
Genesis Well, that is what it said on our wedding invite! No prizes for guessing, ours was a love marriage. It really was a simple love story. Boy meets girl. No sparks fly. He is her boss. She has no choice! But then again, in a nation such as ours, where a marriage sounds like a ‘family and…

Silence is golden?
Google Image I was all of 4. We were returning from the market, my father and I. He stopped to buy some fruits. I plucked a few grapes from the vendors cart and enclosed them in my palm. Close to home, my father chose to hold me by the other hand seeing the oncoming traffic.…

Sexy, Saucy and Spicy…
I completely love my ‘me time’. I walk aimlessly around malls, watch a movie or grab a bite just with my pleasurable self. It is quite therapeutic really, sometimes when you just sit back and do nothing at all. So on one of my solitary dates at a popular eatery, I sat and took in…

To the woman in my life!
Today is a HOLI-day! Dual celebrations raise a toast to colour and femininity. As I take in the zillion wishes via SMS from people who I don’t even know exist on my phone book, I am left wondering, how much more commercial this can get?
