It’s a new month, before a new year & I thought I’d share with you all, my latest, brand new blog - “Simple Thoughts on how to Live Life Fabulously!”
As the About Page there says (yes, I actually wrote an About Page on time there!) the thoughts and inspirations there are not my own. Most [...]

I was talking to a friend of mine who by the world’s standard is doing very well - he has had a great education, he has a good (some may say great) job, owns the title to lots of material possessions, he’s young, he’s cute - and yet, my friend is not happy.
We talked about [...]

If you do & if you’re in Mumbai, drop by Infinity Mall (Andheri, the same Mall housing Cinemax) this Sunday (5th August).
There’s a Cut-a-thon happening (yes, a marathon day of haircuts!) and

Comes a bright light.

When they dwell together,
It’s upto us to choose where to look.

I have never struggled writing a review of a movie before.
It’s not because the plot of this movie is so intricate that I cannot review it. It’s just that it so profoundly affected me that I am not sure reviewing it as a movie really does it justice.
This is not a movie. It is a [...]

I would have liked to review “Superman Returns” that I watched at the IMAX Dome on Monday night. I would have liked to talk about how absolutely gorgeous Brandon Routh is, how delicious his eyes are, how similar he looks to Christopher Reeve (which to me is obviously the prime reason he got the part).

Here is the ‘more’ I promised in my earlier post. Be warned, if you have a strong imagination which enables you to smell smells over the net, it may be safer not to read on.
I stepped off the air-conditioned plane June 8th into a 39 degrees C hot Delhi night. I asked my friend who [...]

Today, October 7th, is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Though religiously inclined all my life, it was not until about 4 years ago that I begun understanding & meditating on the rosary with a deep and meaningful love.
The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of [...]
