Saturday morning here. The sun is out –initially almost as if he was hesitating –a dash of blue skies and a riot of grey before he made up his mind. And now, it is a blaze of heat, warmth and all that is glorious in the world. I got up at 7:15AM because there was […]
Where have all the days gone? The minutes that imprint themselves into the vacant spaces of our days? So much has happened the past few weeks…I feel like I have traversed into time —into the past pages of our lives, journeyed into the future in the promised pages of our lives and somehow forgot the […]
It’s been a weird day for me today. Woke up feeling cranky – don’t remember the dream I had -then had to change my plans for a movie in order to go with my Dad for the ring he wanted to gift me. It didn’t help my crankiness. Breakfast was supposed to be dosa but […]
I was not at home on Saturday and Sunday. I was staying over Birdie’s house. My supposed meeting with that publisher didn’t happen as I thought it might on Sunday. He stays in another city in Kerala – he could not come on Sunday and will be coming tomorrow. I hope to meet him tomorrow […]

Early morning dawned in a drizzly haze across Hong Kong. The view from the apartment was breathtaking. The smallness of the apartment seemingly a contrast to the immensity of the sea. Having originally planned to go to Lantau Island, we were so exhausted after the first real sleep of any kind in the past few […]
I think I really should promise myself not to visit Shenzhen again. Yet, two years ago, as a naive traveler I was attracted to this city. It was the first big city I had seen in my life. I thought it to be frightfully big, and magically beautiful with dazzling lights in the night covering […]
