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 !
Yesterday we went to the Ambience Mall as it started to rain when we went out for lunch to celebrate our “meeting” anniversary. We were going to a mall after ages, because most of our shopping happens online and we really don’t buy anything except essentials. We have enough clothes and gadgets and we are … Read more
Yesterday for Holi, the special in our house was Tikki. Since Hareesh was in town and he loves “chaat”, I thought of making Tikki. This Tikki though has a twist …. it has no potatoes. This is made with “Jimikand” or “senai kizhangu” or Elephant Yam. The other vegetables I added are carrots, green peas, … Read more
Did you guess what this is ? Freshly made pineapple juice ! When you use a slow juicer, pineapple fizz raises to the top. I have enjoyed pineapples only in Shillong. They were so sweet and juicy. When Krishnan and I visited Shillong in 2003, we again gorged on the pineapples. Infact when my friend … Read more
For breakfast today Latha took us to Sangeetha’s on G.N.Chetty Road. We enjoyed the food and felt happy after the meal as we also managed to catch up with Latha. Since the restaurant is really close to our Airbnb, we decided to walk both ways. As soon as we got out of the restaurant after … Read more

My mom-in-law would make many different kinds of spice powders that could be eaten with rice or as an added taste enhancer with some of the “kuzhambu” varieties. I haven’t seen this trend of eating … Read more
Yesterday I had ordered bananas (Robusta) from Milk Basket. As soon as I peeled the first one I saw it was spoilt and rotten. From the outside the peel was even, not even yellow in colour but rotten inside. The only explanation is the use of artificial ripeners that make the fruit tasteless and rotten … Read more
One of the things that we always eat when we travel abroad is “Hummus”. The variety and quality that we get in Europe or Turkey or even the US is just outstanding and for vegetarians, its a treat with all types of bread. I have never tried to make it at home, but decided to … Read more
The first time we met you was in 2010 when Krishnan had his disc rupture and Rajesh told us about you. We walked into your consultation room and you listened to Krishnan and asked him to take off his shirt …. asked me to check his spinal chord to see if I see a slight … Read more
When we first came to Delhi in 1997, I discovered Mother Dairy milk. We lived in Patparganj, right behind the Mother Dairy factory and there was a vending machine in the small market behind our society flat. I couldn’t get over how tasty the milk was and especially the one that we got from the … Read more
