In May 2017 we went to Vizag. For Krishnan and I Vizag has special memories as I was working with NIIT Vizag at the time that we met and fell in love. We have spent many hours sitting at the beach and Krishnan’s birthday in 1990 was celebrated […]
We came to Allahabad on May 13th from Lucknow. The distance was just 209 kms but it took us four hours to drive that distance because the road is a state highway at best with just two lanes and unruly traffic coming at you from every direction !! […]
As we travel for a month continuously and carry just enough clothes for a week at best, doing our laundry everywhere becomes important. I do carry soap and the reetha (soap nuts) seeds for washing my sarees, but still we keep exploring options in every location to get […]
On Monday the man who will take oath in Kar-Natak-ah is someone whose party lost 116/222 seats they contested in. He is supported by a party whose history started undemocratically with the first Prime Minister of this country being nominated rather than elected… and the rest as they […]
When we were planning the U.P and Bihar leg of the ShikshaDaan Yatra, we decided to be in Varanasi on Krishnan’s birthday which is today. We reached Varanasi yesterday from Allahabad… after a 3 km harrowing drive through a narrow lane. More of that in a separate blog. […]

I wouldn’t have posted this excerpt from Khushwant Singh’s autobiography if a rabid Modi-hater had not posted this on Twitter yesterday – I wonder what his mother thinks of him !!! Say what you want to about Modi, he is a public figure and a politician so he […]
Mom and I have been going for our morning walks around the hotel in Lucknow and have come across interesting things everyday. For starters, there are no rules for drivers, vehicles come in all directions. While that is the case in almost every city in India, its heightened […]
The day we checked-in I was fuming because someone told us to park the car in the basement and take the elevator to reach the lobby. Amma was with me and Krishnan was at the lobby. I got parking only on the 3rd basement. When Amma and I […]
