  • #100HappyDays – Day 1

      When Lucille shared the #100HappyDays link in our IndiBlogeshwaris Group, I was instantly drawn to it. The sunshine yellow website oozed warmth, and the idea of showcasing happy moments for the next 100 days was very serendipitous. But you know how it is. Speculation comes easy. Commitment, not. Then I saw Aishwarya share her HAPPY pictures, followed by Janaki. Before I knew it,…

  • Happy ‘Knew’ Year!

    31st December was chalked out for partying. 1st January was solemnly meant for the hangover………….. 2nd January was reserved for the birthday 🙂 3rd January is when I take stock! Yes, by the fag end of the day I am in somewhat a stable state to chalk out what I intend doing with 2014. Am…

  • Mahim Urs – Street Food Haven

    The end of December is marked for the Urs in celebration of the death anniversary of Hazrat Shaikh Makhdoom Ali Mahimi of the Mahim Dargah, An event that sees the faithful throng from all over the city and beyond, is especially revered by the Mahim Police Force. Another example of the eclectic potpourri of cultures that…

  • Games we played

    This Post joins the ranks of Spicy Saturday Picks by BlogAdda. When the daughter walked in from school a few days ago, I could sense her excitement right from the door. She had been initiated into a new game at school and was eager to introduce me to it, as well. As she enthusiastically explained…

  • Ah, to be Square and Fair

    Yes, I often do this. Plunge into a ‘to-do’ when I have my hands full. Not content there, I drag others along. And so it came to pass, when the Indiblogeshwaris decided that we had to tweak the Secret Santa tradition. Out of this desire was born the Secret Blogger Elves initiative. The modus operandi was simple.…

  • Three Girls and a Wedding

    Have you ever attended a wedding? Wait, let me rephrase that. Have you ever attended a wedding where you were not related to either the bride or the groom? Ah, well, I just did along with two of my gal pals. No, we did not gate crash, silly. The groom’s sister is an inseparable part…

  • The Grass Is Greener

    After wandering around for many Wednesdays at a stretch, I am back for good (I hope). The break was a welcome one, and long overdue. And lots of tales along the way. Hopefully I can pull out some of those stories and pen them here. For now, welcome back. Check my earlier Wandering Wednesday Series…

  • Blog Your Dreams

    In search of a lost avenue, I cut off from the daily grind in the month of October. Yes, now you know. No, not a drastic renunciation. It was more of tiny, subtle changes. I took a Blog Break, for one. I did not write for a month. Sounds crazy? Well, yes it was! It…

  • Going Bankerupt

    Persistence pays, especially in the present times of social media. Everything and everybody, pretty much accessible. And so it was when an unsuspecting author randomly tweeted that he would like to have a blogger meet, someday. A follower, who was also a blogger, immediately gave a high five to the idea and said she looked…

  • What if God was One of Us?

    My Wandering Wednesday Series. Check the previous posts here. 10 days have passed since we have welcomed our most favoured guest. Today we bid HIM  a ‘large’ goodbye. Revelry is at its loudest. The streets are lined with strewn flowers, broken bottles and splashed colours. In our enthusiasm, we have little or no respect for the guidelines that govern…
