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 !
People that Krishnan and I look upto !!!
Yesterday, we finally managed to attend a “kutcheri” (music concert) during the Chennai December season. For the past several years, Chennai has developed the concept of having concerts during the month of Margazhi which usually falls around mid December. Many budding artists debut during this time and ofcourse the established maestros give concerts too. One … Read more
Oct 31st was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s 140th birth anniversary and also the day Indira Gandhi died. Till two years back, I don’t recall a single year when Sardar Patel’s birthday was celebrated at a national level … all I remember is Indira Gandhi’s death anniversary and the tearful “shraddanjali” and prayers that were offered by … Read more
Who is the 12th President of India ? ….hmmmm like you, I have struggled with that name. Who was the 1st President of independent India ? Easy-Peasy, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Who succeeded him ? Illustrious Dr. Radhakrishnan. And then I don’t remember many of them except Giani Zail Singh for his devotion to Mrs. Indira … Read more
Heena and Anjali are not mediocre, they are a rare kind of talent … They are ace shooters. What’s rare about that ? They don’t play cricket and men’s cricket in India is all that matters, all other sports don’t. So what if Anjali Bhagwat was the world No. 1 in the 10m air rifle … Read more
I had posted this on Jan 23rd and for the past two days Netaji is back in the news … watching Arnab debating about the files and I just wish Sharmistha, President Pranab Mukherjee’s daughter is valiantly trying to defend the CONgress. She seems rattled … wonder how rattled the CON leadership team is :(. … Read more
I did not know him, I had not heard of him and suddenly many of my friends posted “RIP” messages on their facebook pages. Well, I did some research and realised what an amazing man he is – crazy, in love with life and living life on his terms. He was a climber and he … Read more
Of all the living Mystics, gurus, Godmen and Godwomen, the only person I find interesting is Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. He has the same quality that Osho does, he makes you feel liberated… Without a do’s and don’ts list. The way he lives is also interesting and fun, and unlike the sad, serious and silly lives … Read more
This is the first time I was reluctant to leave Chennai… I like Chennai but am not super fond of it. I love the sarees at Kumaran Stores and its THE place where most of my sarees come from. I was a die-hard fan of Saravana Bhavan but have shifted my allegiance to Murugan Idli … Read more
We met the first ray of the Sun yesterday in the afternoon and I waited till today morning to write about them because it made sense to write as soon as the Sun came up rather than at night. We had read about Arushi and had reached out to them on email. We were to … Read more
I was brought up in a Sardar household since my dad’s boss was a Sardar and his daughter was my classmate. I obviously fell in love with the food and the near constant good cheer in the house. I learnt about all the Gurus and went to the Gurudwara more often than the temple (confession, … Read more
