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 !
Bindu & Krishnan When Narayanan mentioned about this book by John Steinbeck, I realised that there was so much to read and so many authors that I have missed completely !! The name John Steinbeck seemed familiar but none of his books rang a bell. I immediately bought “Travels with Charley” and completed reading on New year day, … Read more
Krishnan and my purpose in life was chosen for us the day we were born in our respective families. It took us nearly 40 years to clearly identify it :). Both our fathers were rich, not with fat bank balances, but a large enough heart to “give”. Their giving never stopped, till their breath stopped … Read more
The book got published in 2012 and Kabir told me about it. I somehow didn’t get the book and finally just before the run up to the general elections I picked it up. Am glad I did because it made me vote the way I did :):). I knew Tavleen Singh, the journalist, but didn’t … Read more

I called him up after seeing his interview in a neighborhood newspaper way back in Dec 2003. I had just joined Aon Hewitt and wanted to collect warm clothes in the office and was wondering where to give them for further distribution and that’s when I came across this article. When I spoke to him, … Read more
I am so glad that I was born in a Tamilian family and speak the language …. Otherwise I could have never known the genius of K Balachander or the music of Illayaraja or the acting of Nagesh or the poetry of Kannadasan or Vaali. I am even more glad that Krishnan is a Tamilian … Read more
A favorite quote of mine is “when you jump to conclusions, you leap over facts”. It’s not a quote that I apply very much in my life, but would like to. So I remind myself of it every time I leap over facts :):):):). Two instances happened in the last two days. On Saturday as … Read more
