A nice cozy Saturday in Dubai, except for my allergy that played up today as a consequence of me missing my daily allergy medicine. Wonder how long I have to continue with this – have to search a way out of this allergy thingy and fast. A scrumptious lunch at Babumoshai (in Bur Dubai) compensated …
Reading a Hindu calendar can be complex, especially for beginners. So here is a quick guide, just for you! Start with a Panchāngam – Drink Panchang is a good option. It has an app and a website – so take your pick. Let’s assume that you are using the app. Ensure that the location is …
While we normally follow the Gregorian calendar in our daily lives, the Panchāngam holds a special significance. The Gregorian is quite arbitrary, with months having 30 or 31 days with no apparent logic, and the New Year coming in on 1st of January – a happy occasion bang in the middle of winter. By the …
I revisited this blogpost today. The weather in Dubai is great at the moment, light rains, drop in temperatures, and an overall good feeling. Not for some, but for me, its a collection of beautiful moments… Such days also make me think deep about life and where I am headed. Not that I am in …

Nevertheless, I did go back and …
Watching a kid growing up has its (lion’s) share of firsts. Today, I asked Keshav to bring my phone from the living room – also a first, just to see if he would. He is usually not allowed to touch phones, so would he, wouldn’t he? Where is it? I asked him. Keshav turned to …
Time that runs away! Ricardo Gondim I counted my years and found that I will have less time to live from now on than I have lived until now. I feel like that boy who was given a bowl of fruits. The first ones, he sucked carelessly, but realizing that there are few left, he gnaws the kernel. …
