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 !
Idols have a way of cropping up everywhere – in your family, in the society, on a train/plane ride … In families they come mostly as ancestors, people you haven’t met but their stories have been passed down to the succeeding generations. There are some living idols that could be related to you… but it’s … Read more
They say the Mahabharata is not read at homes since it leads to discord… I think it is true. I am reading “Jaya” by Devdutt Pattanaik and it is as fascinating as ever. Most fascinating is ofcourse the status of women in the vedic times and how far as a society we have regressed. Ofcourse … Read more

Today’s “Brunch” carried Seema Goswami’s article about how a friend of hers was upset on being called “aunty” by 20 year old girls. I find this obsession with remaining young forever crazy !!! Also this obsession with turning 40 and the 40’s today are the 30’s of yesterday type proclamations. I have never understood why … Read more
I am currently reading “A million miles in a thousand years” by Donald Miller. While reading it, I finished re-reading an all time favourite “Illusions” by Richard Bach. Krishnan’s first gift to me were three books – and “Illusions” was one of them. The similarities between these two books is amazing… Both talk of how … Read more
Just finished watching Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock starrer “Speed” for probably the tenth time. I just love the movie. Infact Krishnan and I watched it first in Chennai and watched it a second time within 24 hours with Amma and Appa !! This is the movie that built up my fascination with the US … Read more
This year so far has been about celebrities and I met a true blue achiever yesterday. Tenzing Norgay’s son Jamling came and spoke at the Nasscom GIC conclave.
