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 !
It was heart rending to see “Shaktiman” the horse’s leg being amputated. Whatever be the provocation, anyone taking a stick to an animal is not human. I don’t know if some other horse jostled Shaktiman from the back and he fell or Mr. Joshi hit him and he fell. Mr. Joshi had a stick in … Read more
He was in the conference room when I met Krishnan first and his black Fiat car was the one, Aporesh used everytime he came to Chennai and I got to ride in it during the management program too. He became a very dear friend and Krishnan and I have spent countless evenings in his house … Read more
He faced crisis after crisis with great fortitude, lost a lot, learnt a lot, laughed and cried a lot … But when his time was up, he left in an instant. RIP KRS, what a life you led and it’s a well earned rest. Meena will cope up, she was your strength and now she … Read more
Dearest Mami, You never rested more than necessary in all your 80+ years and even as you travel to your eternal abode and become a twinkling star, I doubt if you will rest more than necessary. My first phone conversation with you was from Manipal Hospital in Bangalore … When Appa was there as a … Read more
We fell in love with you when we sat behind your wheel by chance in April 2011… That short test ride from Sikanderpur to Kachra Chowk in Gurgaon just decided it in your favour. Then the whole drama of getting you delivered the day I was in Chennai for Geetha’s wedding as a surprise birthday … Read more
You are cold to touch, all the warmth has left your body. However much we hug you or cry or rub your feet, you won’t be warm again. The life force that made your blood flow has left you and you are lost to us. RIP Taha… As the Earth is poured over you, and … Read more
As millions who read the Times of India just to catch the cartoon by RK Laxman, I too grew up with the “common man” of his. I never knew much about R K Laxman, but was very familiar with his brother’s work – the legendary R K Narayan and his Malgudi Days. I have read … Read more
I wrote yesterday that I was missing Appa a little more … But maybe it was some sort of premonition that today his namesake, Krishnan’s Mama was planning to pass on. Seshadri Mama and Babu Chitappa are probably the biggest connection I had to Krishnan’s immediate extended family. Mama made the dream of the computer … Read more
I heard about him in 1983 when we came to Hyderabad from Shillong and sometime in 1985, he played at Keyes High School and I got to hear him live. His was the first live concert that I had ever been to. There was something different about him, a softness, a gentleness and a genuine … Read more
Death accompanied me when I took my first breath on earth … As Amma was declared dead. Luckily, she came back and is alive for me to fight with her everyday :). But the phenomenon of dying is fascinating. Everyone and everything that lives, dies. So there is certainty, we all come with a return … Read more
