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 !
Minutes before the counting starts, CONgress says the EVMs are tampered with. Fascinating analysis. Bless Capt. Amarinder Singh, a closet Sanghi and Sidhu, an ex-Sanghi who said yesterday that EVMs work fine …. what ??? They probably missed the newly coronated, newly minted Shiv-bhakt’s briefing. Don’t believe me ? About the Shiv-bhakt ? There is … Read more
The first time we learnt about the “Naga” shawl was when dad went to Zakhama on temporary duty and bought a woven multicoloured shawl for mom. This was in 1982.

Nothing against the movie theatre, but when there is a huge selection of movies that we can watch on TV, why bother going to a theatre. The new movie channel “&PriveHD” that Tatasky has started offering … Read more

When asked about the BOT-Twit’s selection-disguised-as-election to the top post in the CONparty, Mr. Aiyar sneered – “When Shah Jahan came in the place of Jahangir did any … Read more
When Gurdjieff’s father died Gurdjieff was only nine years old. The father was poor. He called Gurdjieff close to him and told him, “I have nothing to give you as your inheritance. I am poor, and my father was also poor, but he gave me one thing that made me the richest man in the … Read more
Something about him conveyed class and goodness, and he was the kind of man that a girl could introduce her dad to and he wouldn’t object to your seeing him. His handsome face had “decency” written all over it… He was and remains my favourite Kapoor. I never liked Raj Kapoor much for some reason, … Read more
