Travel or Travelling – something after food, that everyone loves to talk about. To me it means a lot of things, Nostalgia, love, hate, passion. As a child, travel used to be by train from Bombay to Baroda regularly for vacations – with the passion of being able to look out of the windows, guess [...]
Cooking – something that all of us either hate or love with a passion…or at least when it turns into food. Once upon a time, I had grandoise plans of learning to cook, practiced when parents were travelling – which was rare, given the fact that they were introverts and happy at home only; joined [...]
I tweeted ‘We are a nation of Hypocrites’ and received immediate responses some in favour, some against and also telling me speak for your self I am a hypocrite, when it suits me; just like everyone else. This is not to say that other countries, citizens are not, they are, the degree matters a lot. [...]
Dear Team Faasos, I had written about Faasos on my blog and had reviewed it twice over here besides the number of times on twitter. In spite of assurances, the consistent service delivery problems had ensured that I was no longer a customer of theirs, also the fact that, more options had opened up close [...]
Assumptions : Lokhandwala/Oshiwara/Four Bungalows area; Organised means chain or multiple restaurants, whilst unorganised means standalone I have been living in this area for a long time and have been ordering food for as long.

It was a couple of days ago when I had read that some 20000 old taxis and rickshaws were going off the road, and had tweeted about it, saying this would be good for Mumbai. There were immediate and sharp reactions to this – How will people survive? How will people commute? It is good [...]
A chance Tweet some days back with [AmreekanDesi] about a completely non related matter and he volunteered to share an advanced copy of his soon to be released book. It had slipped my mind, however within the next couple of days the book promptly arrived from the publishers. The kindle on charge, meeting in far [...]
In this flurry of activism from December, I had asked a Question and did not receive too many replies. A substantial number of ‘Celebrities’ aka ‘Public figures’ had agreed to continue their work, force things, BUT the unfortunate reality – ‘If we are directly affected, then we shall rant, rave, give sound bytes’ then every [...]
I had reviewed an earlier book here and had liked his earlier books. Surprisingly, Ravi Subramanian was on twitter, maybe to market his book – not a bad thing, I say – and actually responded saying, he would be glad to send me a signed copy, however I promised him that I would buy his [...]
Disclaimer: I may be prejudiced reviewing this, because the author is practically our God child. I first heard about this unnamed book some 4 years ago at a breakfast place where Aparna Ruchi Shakti B50 amongst others were there. The excitement petered out after a while and Shakti claimed writer’s block. AND Love got unblocked, [...]
