25 things to do when you are shifting base - Tips for packing 2008-05-28 07:23:15
Shifting home can be a pain, be it two blocks away or to another part of the world. But again, its a necessity for us unlucky ones. We flit from place to place and tugging along our worldly belongings.

There’s always a connection… 2008-05-20 12:35:39
Have you ever felt so completely responsible for something in your life? I never had till very recently.
I was always
a little detached from everything even when I was in the midst of all the activity. In my growing up years all I wanted to do was leave home and go somewhere far off. I wanted to be somewhere incognito and I would live life just like I wanted to.
That’s what led me to leave Read more:connection
Mouth-watering Aloo-Methi recipe (Potato Curry with dried Fenugreek leaves) 2008-05-20 11:22:41
Aloo Methi always transports me back to my school days when lunch hour used to be such a jolly affair. One of our Marwari classmates used to bring the tastiest Marwari food items for lunch. We would wait for her to open her lunch box so as to plunge and have our fill. Among all others I remember this Aloo Methi which won our hearts and taste buds the very first time we tried it.

Shifting base… 2008-05-07 12:56:04 Shifting
can be a royal pain. It seems as though there is no way I can avoid having to pack my earthly possessions and keep lugging them from one place to the other. The number of times I have shifted you would think I would be a pro by now. I am. Sort of. But still can’t help hating it.
The first time I remember shifting when I couldn’t even talk properly. I remember thinking it was

Stranger or Conscience 2008-05-06 23:55:17
Sometimes people get so involved in their daily lives that they forget their dreams. They forget what they stand for. They forget what they wanted to do with their lives. And then, sometimes they take their lives so much for granted they also forget that they are living one of their dreams.
I don’t remember when I stopped noticing all these things. I don’t remember when I became so involved w Read more:Stranger

Back Again! 2007-09-25 05:27:39
Its been ages since I last wrote.
Not like I have written nothing in between. I have. I have written loads of assignments and work related documents. I have written articles for others. I just haven’t managed to write because I wanted to. I got too busy for that. So much happened in between that it took all the effort and the better part of my time.

10 things about the race from Mars: Men! 2007-04-10 01:52:30
Woman! One of those mysteries of nature that no man ever claims to understand fully. Papers have been written on it and debates take place continually.
In contrast you don’t find that kind of a complaint coming much from the fairer race. Is it that women don’t want to sound like men? Or is it that women do really understand their men? If that be so, then why are so many girls at a lo Read more:things
Are PET bottles hazardous to health? 2007-04-06 13:19:26
This is an email I received a while back. It got me pretty concerned since PET bottles are what I usually use to store drinking and cooking water for lack of other means.
