This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
The first time we heard of Chokhi Dhani was way back in 1998. Veena and her husband planned to spend New Year’s Eve at Chokhi Dhani and she told me it was an ethnic resort. We went there for the first time in 1999 and it was quaint and pretty. Then we visited it many … Read more
Yesterday we came to Jaipur along with our friend Subbu and his family. The day before, Krishnan started the Toyota Corolla and left it running to keep the battery charged. A week before, the battery had died down because we hadn’t used that car for a few days. This set me thinking …. Last year … Read more
Just heard that the poster boy for corruption, Lalu Yadav has been convicted in the 20 year old fodder scam. A sigh of relief ! In the past two days, other wannabe and almost-there stars of corruption got a clean chit in their respective cases so today was worrying. It was much like getting the … Read more
The kids and the completely out of tune orchestra have fallen silent and we can take a nap !! The school behind our condominium complex has put up a Christmas carnival and I was hoping to hear some great Christmas carols. But, we were in for a noisy, cacophonous morning and afternoon as each song … Read more
I hadn’t heard of Kazuo Ishiguro till he got the Nobel prize earlier this year. Its sad that I missed reading him all this while. The minute I heard his name, I immediately looked up his books on Kindle and found this title “Never let me go” which was very intriguing, so I bought it. … Read more

The Okhla Industrial Estate or Modi mill compound as most Delhites would know it also has special memories … Read more
I almost fell out of my chair….. as am sure many of you would have after reading this blog’s title. But stay in your seats – this is my “khayali pulao”. Will there ever be a day when the Pidi-handle of CONgress takes responsibility for ANY failure?? Now here is my “khayali raita” – AAP … Read more
It was heart breaking to see Rajdeep having to show PM Modi waving to the city country with a “V” for victory. Sharing Rajdeep’s pain is Javed Ansari whose heart has slipped to his knees and his strident voice has been reduced to a croak. I am praying for their good health… because I want … Read more
In Himachal Pradesh CONgress lost because there is anti-incumbency after just 5 years of rule … but in Gujarat BJP’s model for the past 22 years has failed. How sweet. Again, that permanently-in-pain Sanjay Jha is talking of BJP’s hubris … and the Gandhi dynasty has been the paragon of humility ?? Maybe he should … Read more
How happy Rajdeep is … CONgress and BJP are neck-to-neck in Gujarat. RE-birth of the CONgress party ?? Ohhh happy days are here again, borrowing the tag line of “Thumbs Up”. Celebrations in CONgress HQ and suddenly they remember their old slogan “Satyameva Jayate” Didn’t know that CONgress had anything to do with “Satya”. Many … Read more
