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 !
As we prepare for the fourth reunion of our PGPMAX batch, I came across an old post of mine about Term 2 at ISB. Term 2 for us was in the second week of September and I would write a blog at the end of each term. Reposting it here, after correcting a grammatical error … Read more
Over the past 20 days, Krishnan, Mom and I have had the opportunity to spend time with two 18 year old young men, Dhanush and Ashwin. Dhanush is our nephew and lives in Chennai. Ashwin is the son of our very dear friends, Hareesh and Swapna who live in the US. We have known both … Read more
Nearly six months back Bhagya asked all of us if we had time to get together for a reunion in June 2017 as she was coming over from the US for a family wedding. I was the first one to say yes, little knowing what was in store for us as 2017 dawned. I had … Read more
No, don’t be surprised with the title – my dad didn’t marry three women. But all three women who are mothers to me are related to him. 🙂 My mother is the youngest daughter in her family and was not “trained” like her older sisters to take care of young babies and the kitchen etc. … Read more

Shimla was the last stop in our Himachal travels and we got a bonus of reliving old memories from 1998… In April of 1998, we … Read more
When I got married, for the first few months we stayed with Amma, Appa and Nachi. Everyday in the afternoon after lunch was done, Amma would take out a huge “tambalam” … Basically a huge plate with sides and a hollow space in between. She would pour a few cups of rice or pulses or … Read more

Today was my last day at Aon Hewitt… after eleven and half years. Just feels like leaving home for the first time and you leave your home for studying further or joining a new job or you get married – well, this time its none of the above, except in a way, I am leaving to … Read more
Nearly 90% of Indians would have travelled by train, once or several times. Till Air Deccan happened, we were blissfully unaware of “low cost” flying and went long distances by train or car or bus … I remember the first time I travelled “First class” – one of the summer vacation trips from Guwahati to … Read more
