My everyday thoughts, opinions and whatever else !
My father gave Mom a name – “Ba-Tu-Ta”, naming her after the great Chinese traveller who came to India during the reign of Mohammed Bin Tughlaq. Amma’s name though is an acronym – “Ba” is written as “Pa” in Tamil script, the alphabet for Pa and Ba being […]
I found this post from 2016 when I was reviewing my draft posts. I don’t know why I never posted it at that time. Interestingly this was the year that I spent being gray before restarting colouring of my hair :). Maheshwari and Chanderi are from Madhya Pradesh. […]
When we were in Chennai a couple of weeks back, we happened to go to Usman Road, T.Nagar and Krishnan and I both remembered my mother-in-law’s liking for “Thirattu Paal” from the Gomathi Shankar sweet shop. Amma would eat very little of it but Krishnan would polish it […]
This year one of the Padma Shri awardees is Mr. S Ramakrishnan, who founded the Amar Seva Sangam. Mr. Ramakrishnan was not born as a disabled person, but due to spinal injuries at the age of 20, he became paralysed neck down. He was trying to join the […]

Every year in January the Bengali Saraswati Puja is celebrated in our condominium complex. I have bought the bhog coupons a couple of years but never managed to visit the puja pandal or eat there. This time also I saw the announcement rather late but luckily met Kittu […]
While I am a fan of WhatsApp as it helps one to stay in touch almost everyday with friends and family, I also think there is no substitute for the good old “meeting in person”. Very often WhatsApp and other social media platforms lull you into believing that […]
Today we made our first trip of the year to Dr. Nehal Vora. Amma has been coughing really badly since last evening and she couldn’t sleep at all. Dr. Vora told her that its an allergic cough and that it had become an infection. She tried insisting that […]
