Change.......
When I was in London 7yrs ago, I was shocked at the dressing, mannerism and language used by some of the Indians there. These were mostly Surati gujarati's from Africa who got British passports. My god! They spoke a language, spoken in India 40-50yrs back, they dressed in polyester sarees with huge frilled hair grips, gaudy footwear. Seeing them, I... more...

Plateau
As I become 38, I suddenly feel I have reached a plateau. I make a check-list of the milestones in my life - education completed, married to my dream man, achieved career ambitions, have a small boy, living abroad. Now - what?

Why Style Matters
By Sanjeev Verma A few years ago I put together a style guide gleaned from all that I have learnt and read in a long and abiding affair with English language.

Cute Little Nithya
Today morning as I was taking my breakfast I heard the sound of my gate opened. I rushed to see who has come. In between I heard a feeble voice calling ‘Aunty, aunty”. Ha, I understood it was Nithya.  A smile flowered in my lips.   When she saw me through the window, she asked me ‘bikki, bikki’.  I asked her to wait and went inside. Nithya is a cut...  more...

Male or Female?
You might not have known this,  but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

Wanderings of my mind
Today I read an interesting peice in TOI. The writer says we begin by blaming the others for any problems. i.e. "You" are responsible.
