That should be in less than 3 weeks time, along the East Coast & will be probably gone for a month or so
If I have any (normal, non-stalker type) readers in Oz who’d like to meet up, let me know (comment here or mail me melodysvoice(at)gmail.com).
During this time, will try my best [...]

If you desire a quickie meal (yes pervert, wasn’t talking about anything else, now beat it) then perhaps Bandra’s Carter Road is the place for you!
Carter Road has evolved from being the place to take a walk (the Promenade) or to walk your dog (it has a special doggie walk area) to the place to [...]

Back in Bombay & already hitting the parties! Thursday night went out with a close friend of mine who’s just in from DXB and who apparently, in three short months, has forgotten that most (all?) non-hotel based restaurants in the middle of the night will be closed. Instead of going to Vistas (24 hour heaven!) [...]

Had a good weekend. Among other things, went out with this very sweet boy:

We went to the Taj President for the Barbeque by the Poolside, which serves “Indian kebabs and Continental grills”.
The food was decent and the portions were very large compared to any place I’ve eaten at recently. Rates were as to be expected [...]

A Perfect Evening - Act One

The theatre. Definitive theatre would be Shakespeare, and so it was. I haven’t seen Macbeth, so it was that too. And it undoubtedly was excellent.
Alyque Padamsee has (brilliantly imo!) spun his version of Macbeth by making Lady Macbeth a Tantric who teams up with the witches to weave a [...]

Hard Rock Cafe describes itself as “Anti-Establishment”:
Irreverent. Brash. Philanthropic. We’ve been doing things our own way since 1971. What started as an American diner in the heart of London has blossomed into a way of life. Hard Rock isn’t just a name; it’s a culture. And with each new cafe, hotel and casino, Hard [...]

It’s a sad day in June (November, whatever) when your boss summons you and tells you “Spend more time working and less time blogging”. Sigh. There’s no use pretending. They’re everywhere. They know everything. Where’s Mulder?

Nonsense aside (hah!) my life is really moving too fast for me to blog. Last week was a “every night [...]

Never let it be said that my friends are normal. After all, would a normal group of people go out all together to celebrate one friend’s birthday on another friend’s birthday? (if you’re interested, we’re probably celebrating the first friend’s birthday close to when the second friend’s birthday will be). And all this when both [...]

It’s always an exciting time for us unworthy Mumbaites when certain Bangaloreans descend upon us and I had a great time with Ana, Sonu, DV, Geh & Prem.
Started off the night by going to DV’s office. When one says “office” people usually imagine drab work environment. Not so with DV. This brilliant young boy [...]

It’s the beginning of a new month & I thought I ought to update the old blog. It’s a shame I still don’t have broadband - after over three years of living with the internet on 24/7, it’s amazing how quickly one adjusts to not having it. I thought I’d cold turkey - and I [...]
