As with most people who are well-raised, well-educated and financially secure, Dr. Tokai only thought of himself… Men without Women, Haruki Murakami Who am I? This question has been posed by everyone, to themselves, at some point in their lives. Who are you, once you are stripped of your name, your family, social status, education, …
So the deep cleaning was not so deep after all. Basically, a glorified wipe down, with the pièce de résistance being a machine whose claim to fame is that it gets rid of grout. Or at least, claims to, since it’s apparent that the stubbornness of the grout trumped the ambitions of the machine. But …
Is deep cleaning done by maids on steroids? That’s the question I shot back when I was told that this process would take less than an hour, for the room. Well, I assumed deep cleaning would, as the name suggested, be a more elaborate exercise involving a prep reconnaissance mission, a plan of action of …
And just when they were wondering where the Modi wave went, he responded with a tsunami. The best showing EVER, with 156 seats and an unspoken apology for the decimation of the “traveller” and the “freebie”. Closer home, it was Rohāmrtā’s turn (again) to have fever and the cough and cold. I speak to a …

I need some help from you guys. Been battling allergy symptoms for a large part of this year, and tried mostly everything. Tablets, steam, nasal sprays, tonics…the issue is that doctors are not able to identify what is causing the allergy. Everything is the same – I haven’t made any drastic changes in eating or …
And the journey goes on… We had an exciting 30 days of fitness this November, as part of the 30*30 initiative. We managed to find as much time as we could to focus on our health and well-being – at least to make a start! Here is what I shared with the team today:) Thank …
Ok so my router died today. One can survive without food and water nowadays, but without the internet?? You got to be kidding me. And so when a crisis of such magnitude hits, one has to press the panic button. A few frantic calls to Du confirmed my initial suspicions that the router had served …
Qala was a good movie, but only for the performances of the lead pair – Tripti Dimri and Babil Khan. The direction was a bit Sanjay Leela Bhansali type – over indulgent, pretentious and quite laborious. Tripti and Babil however, made the effort worth a watch. I still remember the awkward debuts that star kids …
