We attended two sessions of ARTH, a culture fest at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium today. While I will write about Mr. Owaisi and Dr. Swamy’s session later, am still under the spell cast by Padma Shri Narthaki Nataraj. She enacted Amba turning into Shikhandi and back to Amba on […]
Yesterday was Mahashivaratri and I saw pictures of the Shankaracharya temple in Kashmir being all lit up after many decades… Obviously I knew nothing about the Shankaracharya Temple of Kashmir. I only knew that Adi Sankara had spent time in Kashmir at the Sharada Peeth. Enter Wikipedia and […]
I have been following Aruna’s blog Aaharamonline.com for a few years now because she posts awesome vegetarian recipes. A week back I happened to read her post on “Roasted Red Bell Pepper Chutney” and thought of trying it as an accompaniment for vegetable rava idli. The link to […]

Yesterday we went out for our evening walk only by 9 pm. As we rounded one of the blocks, I found this beautiful shadow or reflection of a tree on the building wall. Beautiful, isn’t it ?
On a hot dry afternoon in 1970 in Dehu Road, my dad brought two guests with him for lunch unannounced. Amma was new to cooking and I was a few months old… She struggled and managed to put up some lunch for Appa and his two colleagues. That […]
On Saturday night, we happened to record David Attenborough’s Planet Earth II on BBC Earth. One particular species that he covers in this episode, just blew our minds. The Marine Iguanas are only found in the Galapagos island. They are vegetarians and live off the moss and other […]
On Friday we were criss crossing the Delhi Cantt area and found this “jhuggi” or “tent” colony right next to one of the MES offices. It worries me that such temporary dwelling has come up inside a cantonment area, because of security reasons. The next point is, this […]
