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 I mentioned in my review of Ravi Subramanian’s first book, I like his style of writing and I had already started reading this book as soon as I completed reading “The Bankster”. This book came out in 2007 and traces the careers of two IIM graduates Sundeep and Swami, from the time they join … Read more
I borrowed this book on Kindle Unlimited nearly two months back but didn’t get around to reading it. I finally picked it up just a couple of days back. This is also the first book out of the several books that Ravi Subramanian has written that I am reading. Its a fast paced book and … Read more
On Tuesday (Jan 21), we had been to Sampath Chitappa’s place, then my cousin Geeta’s place and finally met with Krishna and Murari who are more friends than cousins. They all live in Triplicane, around the Parthasarathyswamy Temple. We had to get some spices from the “Naatu Marundu” (desi spice store) kadai. We left Amma … Read more

In an uncanny coincidence, I woke up today wanting to write a blog about V.O Chidambaram Pillai, a freedom fighter who gave his all for our independence and when we got back home at 4 pm today, the first thing Amma told us is that P.Chidambaram got arrested ! The news channel tickers go too … Read more
I had called the elections in favour of NaMo long before the poll pandits and the exit polls. I was hoping that BJP would cross 300 which they did, and NDA would cross 400 which they didn’t. But I never doubted BJP’s victory ! For me the reasons were simple – Krishnan and I have … Read more
I have been a vocal supporter of Mr. Modi but I did want to try and look at him from the opposition’s point of view. I go looking and suddenly there is so much of info about things that he doesn’t do well and why he isn’t the ONE !! The first tweet is from … Read more
I have stayed away from news and politics for almost two weeks now as we were dealing with Krishnan’s health scare… So yesterday when I blogged about the Kalamkari saree, I didn’t know about Manohar Parrikar’s passing away.
