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 !
Am reading this delicious book titled “A Gentleman in Moscow” and I am reading it really slowly because its that kind of book. You just want to linger on every page and hope that the book never really ends :). Along the way, I have picked up four new words. Hadn’t heard these words before, … Read more
This is the 3rd book of Ravi Subramanian’s that I have read in quick succession. Have downloaded other books now so there will be a gap before I review another book of his. This book is again a good one to use for a classroom discussion on office politics, incentive programs and overbearing personalities as … Read more

Ever since Nisha introduced me to OPOS I have been an ardent follower. I am not the kind that swoons over fancy dishes and cooking is just an essential skill – the sooner am done making what I want the better it is. The kitchen is not my refuge nor is cooking a passion. I … Read more
Dear Stacy, I completed reading your book a week back… and I had several emotions running through my heart. The first one was of an overwhelming desire to give you a tight hug and say “you are so beautiful”. We have a saying in my mother tongue Tamil that “The beauty of your heart will … Read more
