The heat, creeps in
There is something about how the heat creeps in. It happens every summer, but I forget. And, when it comes, it comes with a bang. LIke now. Over the last few days, the days are so hot, you can't believe it. The sun is string and relentless. The mornings and evenings are cool and its hard to believe...

Back at Blogit
Its been 13 days since I posted last. That's a long time, even for me. I pride myself as a regular writer, part of my discipline, enjoyment and sharing. And, reading other people's blogs, chuckling, responding, feeling connected. So, what's been happening in the last 13 days? I have been a little...

Shopping in the Rain
Yesterday around 8 PM, as the non essential lights were to be turned off, I set out to INA market, on my way home. I had hoped to persuade my sister to join me, but it had got late. She was languishing in front of the TV, very relaxed with a stay at home expression. I was tempted to give it a miss....

Going Raw
Yesterday I spent a good part of the day learning about the power and beauty of raw food. I have known something about this as I like to eat healthy. But, this is like eating only raw. Imagine that. The day was organised and created by Dr. Soorya Kaur, a raw diet specialist, among other things. Last...

Getting the Fit
I like things that fit well. Take foot wear. If it doesn't fit well, there is no point in buying it. And, good foot wear for women is hard to find. For years I have lusted after men's footwear - sturdy, comfortable and basic. Alas, they don't make them in my size. In recent times, many foot wear...

SICKO!
Last Sunday, as my husband and I finished our lunch and lounged on the couch, taking a break before we went back to work at our respective work spaces. As we switched n the TV, we found SICKO, a documentary by Michael Moore was just starting. Let's watch this, I said to Mahesh. Over the next 180...

Revolutionary Road
Last night I saw revolutionary Road. It was this year’s best actress Oscar nomination for Kate Winslet. Her co star was Leonardo di Caprio and the film was directed by Winslet’s husband Sam Mendes, a film maker of some repute. The two hour film – set in the 1950s in the US - was gripping and...

A Rich Environment
This morning, I went for a walk in my neighbourhood. My new resolution is to go everyday, as soon as I wake up. I manage this, about 5 times a week. On other days, I succumb to sloth. This means, tea, almonds, biscuits, sitting on the terrace, reading the newspapers, with classical music in the...

Harnessing Energy from the Sun
Yesterday, I attended a lecture by a person who suggests that by sun gazing and walking barefoot on the earth you can have a long and healthy life -up to 100 and more years. Amazing? Desirable? Believable? Hira Ratan Manek, as he is called, is a man in his early 70s, upright and slim, with a...

A concert under the stars
The Delhi evenings are very lovely and lend to outdoor activities. This includes weddings, birthday and anniversary celebrations, films, dance, theatre and music. They take place in various buildings across the city. The two places we frequent often are the Indian International Centre (IIC) and the...
