Ridiculously Marked up Goods in Bangalore’s Commercial Street
Remember my blog post about shopping in Dillihaat? I had picked out the shawl in the photo below for Rs.200 /- and thought then that I could have bargained the price even lower. Imagine my shock last weekend, while wandering around Commercial Street to see the same shawl being sold for Rs.995/-. I know the [...]
The Black Angel – A Book Review
Ever on the lookout for good thrillers, I checked out The Black Angel by John Connelly from the library (Just Books, yep I eventually switched libraries and I am extremely content with the change ). The story starts off with a murdered prostitute. Because the police can’t care less about her fate, her cousin Louis [...]
I Write Like Who??

A Spanish Celebration, a Kiss, and a Raving Insomniac So, after weeks of suspense, Spain gets to take the World Cup home. Good for them. They are a good team, played consistently well, and deserved to win the World Cup. I saw this shot of the World Cup trophy on Louis Vuitton’s official Twitter page. [...]
Sunday Shopping, Monday Rant
On Friday, the snubnose fell down and scraped a knee while playing in the park. As usual, she played up the drama showing her teeny weeny scratch to everyone she met and basically acting like it was a serious accident. Why am I telling you this? Read on to know more . This weekend, our [...]
The Black Ice – A Book Review
I hope I am not boring all you folks with my obsession with Michael Connelly. I do read other authors, I swear! In fact, I think I am boring myself as well with my reading choices. To shake things up a bit and break the monotony, I loaded myself with classics from the library last [...]
I am Working on a Saturday…
To make up for the unexpected holiday on Monday because of the nation-wide strike in India Boo hoo Well, actually not such a bad day, since I just came off a leisurely lunch break where we laughed so hard…my jaws are literally aching . But, trust PHD Comics to always have a comic strip that [...]
