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 !
Roti – All about Food. Kapda – All about Sarees. Makaan – All about our home, the Earth.
The sari that I wore for Diwali is an Assam silk (mulberry) and I bought it during our trip to Guwahati in Feb this year. Infact we spent a lot of time at ARTFED, the government store that sells authentic Assam handloom saris but nothing quite caught our attention. Then Krishnan spotted this one under … Read more
Krishnan doesn’t like to eat fruits but loves fruit juice .. so we invested in a slow juicer from Hurom almost four years back. The pulp remains, just the seeds and skin is discarded while juicing and because there are no blades, heat isn’t introduced during the crushing process. Now the market is flooded with … Read more

Yesterday was National Handloom Day while I wore the Puneri fisherwomen Sari, I didn’t click any pictures. I had written about this sari earlier – A cotton, tussar and a Kanchi “Pattu”. I wanted to share about the Udupi sari that I bought from Maanini Vastralaya. They have a FB page and their collection is just … Read more

I love the rains.. it was stormy and raining when I was born, so my mother doesn’t like the rains much for she went through a near death experience while giving birth to me but for me its the sound associated with my birth and hence soothing. Over the last few weeks it has been … Read more
Today’s lunch was noodles for Krishnan and I. Amma ate a little because it was made at home and then went to her rice and rasam :). Its a huge progress from the days when she would refuse to eat anything that was called noodles or pasta or macaroni. Food is a such a deep … Read more
Krishnan and I love Thai food – especially because its fresh and the curries are spicy. For many years we wrongly believed that the Vegetarian green/red/yellow curry was indeed vegetarian but a few years back we realised that many of the restaurants in India use Shrimp paste anyway as the base for these curries.

Am going slim too but that I have been doing that for a while now … and with Menopause playing a spoilsport, my slim version is still to materialize. This post is about an induction stove going slim. I bought an induction stove in 2012 when we moved to Bangalore for a short while. We … Read more
Today morning as I opened FB, it threw up an old memory from 2011. Krishnan and I had gone for a short cycle ride towards the CRPF camp but turned left and went towards the IREO apartments that were being built. The space between the point where we took a turn and the IREO construction … Read more
