Wear Indian clothes and NOT western. Don’t go out alone. Don’t travel late at night or too early in the morning. Do not use mobile phones, that’s just for men. Call every strange man – Bhaiyya, he will let you go then… … … Don’t be young. Don’t be Independent. Just STOP Being ?! Despite…

Paneer Tikka and an overdose of Paneer!
It’s rare and you will not find many vegetarians saying that I’ve had enough of paneer, but I am quite done! For a while at least! Holi brings with it a lot of delicacies- Dahi Bada, Kaanji Bada, Daal ki pakodis, Thandai, Chandrakal, Gunjiya and so much more. (And, I totally sound like a Mithai-walo ki…
Working on a road side!
Due to the acche din promised by the BJP Government and the foolishness that run in the veins of the nation’s administrative system, today though I am sitting in my comfortable office, I feel as if I am on the roadside with a computer in front of me! All this, thanks to my office building, which succumbed…
Last Wicket Down! :P
Keets finally tied the knot! I don’t know about her.. but I sure can’t believe it still… Months of planning for this trip to Himachal Pradesh… train reservations, worrying about the dropping temperatures, what to wear in a chilly-winter wedding and here we are – back to Jaipur, this crazy girl married and off to…
A weekend full of High Drama, Vintage Car Exhibition and the Jaipur Literature Festival!
I am 3 weeks-too late in penning and finally publishing this post- but, just because this weekend has given me many memories to cherish and a time where you feel immensely happy and content after engaging your mind, body and soul in something that uplifts the spirits, I want to account it in my memory lane!…
“The First” of the many firsts…
I was on a call with KS, and I told him about my recording the next day at the studio for the community radio. I used to host a program for them during my college days. While I was talking to KS, I must have casually mentioned about my plans to meet some old friends…
PK!
PK! Such a darling little character! In the most simplest and humblest of ways possible, he followed what is told to be followed in the name of religion to find his remote control. We, who are born and brought up in families of a particular religion are conditioned to follow some customs and not the…
Dilli ab door nahi!
I left Delhi / NCR in 2011 when I quit my job in Gurgaon, and I never felt that I am leaving it forever. My friends in the PG and I had the feeling that I am going to be back, maybe with another job, or something – but it never happened. I came back…
Beetroot Cutlets a.k.a. the bloody cutlets :P
Inspired by a few women in office who use Beetroot in their meals, and some faint memories of its rare usage at my mom’s place, I thought I should try my hands at it too. Also, the Indian Sweets and Snacks shop that our family runs…serves some Beetroot cutlets during festival times. So I thought…
Cold Coffee with Vanilla Ice Cream
KS has been learning to cook and presenting us with special items! I am both scared and happy. More scared than happy! But he made wonderful aaloo parathas, daal – rice and mother-in-law special aaloo-pyaaz-tamatar. It’s a good thing that he’ll be able to help us in the kitchen… but I hope it stays to…
