Most of my friends have been suggesting that I start a blog on blogging. While it might take some time, I have tried to cover some important blogging tips in an interview conducted by Jidhu Jose in his blog Reflections. Some of the questions answered include: Why (the hell) did I get into blogging ;) Suggestions for blogging newbies Tips on building a community around a blog and social media

We just started our first dream home search in Navi Mumbai thinking we can get a bigger space and more affordable options in this area. So while our only concern was if travelling would be really difficult in the far-off sectors, the harsh reality presented itself - Black is in! We were shocked the way brokers / estate agents openly asked us, "Black kitna kar sakte ho!" (How much

Ever got out of your house during Navrati festival and noticed most of the people are wearing the same colour? Well, it's a custom or rather a trend to wear clothes of a particular colour on a particular day of Navrati, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Now, the nine colours are known to represent the nine avatars of Goddess Durga. And a colour is fixed in advance for each day of the

It’s a shame that someone actually has to write on the subject to prove that being a housewife is actually a tough managerial task. Ever since I started working as a freelancer and took up a part-time job, I heard the term ‘housewife’ in a way I never expected to. I realised that many people think that the job profile of a housewife is the simplest in the world. For some strange reason, they

Real beauty is what brings a smile to your face before you know it. Something that makes your heart skip a beat or beat faster. And then you feel at peace. Wondering where can real beauty be found? Well, just at two places: 1. Where we never expect to find it. 2. Where we know most definitely that it exists. Wow... isn’t it just everywhere! Expect the unexpected. You travel back home after

I switched on the television and was rather surprised to see the news flashing across all the channels - Osama is dead! Why surprised? Well, after all in the recent past, I didn't come across any news regarding Osama Bin Laden. So waking up in the morning to hear this was something really unexpected right now. Coming back to the news, US forces traced and killed Al-Qaeda founder and leader

I was home alone when she walked in. As I continued with my work in another room, I could hear the sound of kitchen cabinet doors being opened and closed umpteen times... pretty unusual.

Just noticed Rajnikanth at the Wankhede stadium where India and Sri Lanka are struggling for the World Cup. Now with all the sayings about Rajnikanth, I think the superstar's presence at the stadium can help our team in the following ways: As Dhoni hits the ball, Rajnikanth can clone it into 10 so that we get 10 boundaries at one go. Rajni has the power to convert all the betting numbers into

Aah the WC 2011 final between India and Sri Lanka live. And with the wifi connection in place now, I am all tempted to tweet and comment and criticize and cheer! Here are my observations as the match continues:Aailaa Sachin ko atthara pe khatra!!! Kuch toh log kahenge... India jeeta toh match fixed... haara toh khelna nahi aata!

Some call it unnecessary hype, others speak diplomatically, but the fact is we all enjoy Ind-Pak cricket matches more than anything else (ask your heart!).

Some drew water from the tanks and mix colours in buckets while others blocked the water exits on the terrace to create a little rangeela pond!

I can never forget that fateful day two years ago on 26/11/2008. We returned from our honeymoon only to be shocked with the news on television. We couldn't believe our eyes and ears.

Every Monday, every person is on the same page, “Sunday got over too fast!” A 2-day weekend (that some of us ‘enjoy’) is seldom sufficient. And we get into this regular Monday day dreaming mode… If only there were no Mondays, if only there were 2 Sundays… They say everything happens for the best. I wondered what could be ‘best’ about having just one Sunday a week. So, I decided to evaluate the

I answered the call with great hesitation. She was stammering. I knew it would be tough for her to inform us all. But some things have to be told, some things have to be heard. Those four words shook my day. "I can't come today", my

Presentation of the teams from 71 countries participating in Commonwealth Games 2010 during the Opening Ceremony is impressive. Each team is led / welcomed by an Indian lady dressed in saree. So essentially we see 71 women dressed in 71 different styles of sarees. It's a beautiful experience to see the excited participants from so many countries - Cook Islands, Guernsey, Falkland, England,

If you are not watching the Common Wealth Games 2010 Opening Ceremony on Doordarshan right now, you are surely missing a lot. I can't help but share the live updates with you. Check out the aerofloater with the larger than life puppets swaying elegantly. A little prodigy playing tabla as beautifully as Ustad Zakir Hussain. The musical covering the entire variety across India. Hariharan singing

What is happiness? Your househelp doesn’t turn up. You start feeling helpless and try to reschedule your day. You start washing the utensils and wonder how you’ll manage the rest of the work. The doorbell rings and the angel arrives!

The new and official song video of Common Wealth Games (CWG) is now available. Now this is what we call a short and sweet anthem. And of course it's much peppier than the earlier version - Rahman and Bharatbala magic we must say! Here's the Oh yaaron, yeh India bulaa liya video: Click here for the earlier lyrics of the CWG theme song.

I learnt it the hard way but you need not. Ignoring symptoms like aches, fever, stomach problems etc. etc. can sometimes take a horrible toll on you. Especially if you have regular but 'bearable' episodes of such things. Remember, there's no harm in consulting a doctor (allopathy, homeopathy, ayurveda... whatever you believe in). But being 'busy' or 'lazy' and postponing the doctor's appointment

Skywalks are sprouting in the city for a while now. But how often do we use them? Or for that matter, how often do we see people using the skywalks? Today’s news about a skywalk being constructed at Rabale station might bring some relief; temporary or permanent that has to be seen. The Rabale skywalk looks promising for one reason – elevators.

All I could notice in today’s newspaper were the figures in crores. And it seemed very ironic. While there’s no money where the need is, money is distributed leniently among those who are just sitting idle. Picture this: Rs 12 Crore – Spent annually on Ministers of State with no work.Sometimes you don’t need to be born with a silver spoon, luck does the needful. 11 ministers with no work but

The festival of Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated across India on 24th August 2010. But before I get into the auspicious timing details, let me take a trip down the memory lane. Nah, I'm not going into the significance of Raksha Bandhan, customs and all. That you'd already know / find all over the internet and you'd close this window right away. I'm gonna just scribble my memories. As long as

Spondyloarthropathy is trying its best to pull me down. But the final combat begins tomorrow. The doctor has been advising me to have a spinal traction since a month now. But considering the painful nature of the procedure and the commitments at hand, I've been delaying it.

I finally attended the Indibloggers Meet Mumbai 2010. Attending the meet was an exciting experience for me for various reasons: THE JOURNEY - I reached Juhu all the way from Koparkhairane on a day of harbour line mega block (click on the link to know what a mega block is... alright, I meant 'to help me increase traffic to the Mumbai local blog').

Happy friendship day to all of you! And now that mauka bhi hai, mausam bhi, let me scribble a few things I like about having friends: Unlike other relations, you love to do things for your friends because "you just love to" and not because "you must do". You know they'll hear you out not because they "have to" but because they genuinely "want to". It's not that they'll give you more / less bhaav

When my husband asked me the other day if I'd like to watch a Telugu movie with him and my mother-in-law, I said a quick yes. I made him assure me that he'll keep translating the dialogues since I barely understand the language. Since it was a comedy movie (or I felt so), I followed it with ease except some 3-4 places where I had to request him to translate. Of course, whether I got the story

Nothing nothing can ever beat this! The cutest sweetest and the first animation song I saw on television... ek chidiya, anek chidiyaan... The most amazing Unity in Diversity video.

I don’t know about any other part of the world, but in India girls mostly change their surname to their husband’s surname after marriage. Don’t ask me why and all… I have no idea! However, nowadays many girls (all right, women) are retaining their maiden surnames or simply adding their husband’s surname after their full name. So I took complete advantage of this trend and Anuradha Khanna became

There have been so many incidents in my life where I felt like whacking someone. But then, I did not. Education and civic sense does that to you… damn the mannerisms! At the most, I end up calling up my friends and sharing the incidents with them. We discuss and debate and that is almost the end of it. Almost… because the memories occupy an un-deletable space in your mind! Now thanks to Blogadda

My husband loves games... and unlike other women, I love this! Before marriage, when I felt like playing computer games with someone, I had to go on Zapak for multiplayer games. Not anymore. Coz Mrinal is the complete PlayStation, Nintendo and computer games guy! And now we play together... no need to find strangers online anymore!!! Another great thing is that now my special occasions gifts

We humans always wish for things we don't have. So once we wanted to fly. Some people felt it's absurd, but Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, designed their first aircraft and then many others made inventions... and humans could fly up above the world so high! Great... really? Ever since we started flying, there have been thousands of plane crashes. Humans always wished and prayed that they

I have always loved watching the sun set. Actually, I even love sunrise but then I can't remember when was the last time I woke up so early in the morning ;) Coming back to sunset... I was quite a studious student always. So most of my time before and during exams went studying for insane number of hours (don't take me for a nerd, I was very much involved in games, fun and extracurricular

Annu's pravachan number 11: From "overwork" to "work is over" is somehow always a long journey. And for some reason, it has a lot of "work all over again"! Annu's pravachan number 22: It's only when you overwork that you realize how much you can... or rather you can't.

The heat seems to break every record since the last two years and more so during the last two weeks. And I am sure, the sales of bottled water, soft drinks and juices, tissue papers, handkerchiefs, short pants and sleeveless shirts, refrigerators and air conditioners too are breaking (read 'making') records with the increasing temperature.  Two things however don't seem to increase with the

And once again we decided on a particular restaurant (Pot Pourri) since Mrinal wanted to have beer and it turned out to be a dry day! So guys and gals if you are planning to drink and dine out this weekend (10-11 April), remember it's a dry one on account of elections.

Once in a while, we end up saying something really very silly we can laugh about all our life! The best part is, these silly things actually become the fodder during reunions with friends and you love to recollect such memories time and again. So this one conversation happened today and I can't stop laughing at my sillygiri: Ratish: Tomorrow is a holiday, it's Good Friday Me: Ya? Wow, so Mrinal

As per the latest reports, Maruti 800 and Omni cars will not be sold in some 11 cities across India from April 1. These cities include Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai. Why? Well this step is taken in view of the Euro IV norms. From April, the automakers will have to upgrade their cars so that they are Euro IV emission norm complaint (in major Indian cities). Now, making Maruti 800 and Omni

There's enough hype created for several special days like Valentine's Day, Women's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day etc. Greeting cards, gift items, discounts on shopping, dining and hotels create the mood for these occasions days in advance. We all know it's marketing gimmick  but don't we give in to the temptation? But when it comes to days marked for really important occasions, we are either

I've had my views on the quote "Behind every successful man is a woman." Now that it's Women's Day today, I thought I'd create a few for women too. Here we go! Behind every successful woman is her successful, boastful female friend. Behind every successful woman is the increasing cost of cosmetics (or costmetics).  Behind every successful woman is her beauty. Behind every successful woman is

"Behind every successful man is a woman." I came across this quote once again today and thought it's about time we look at it again. So I'm getting back to my favorite hobby - creating quotable quotes / funny versions of quotes. Here are my versions of the quote that might be applicable today: Behind every successful man is his insecure boss.  Behind every successful man is a man (his gay

Don’t bathe on weekends when you intend to stay at home. The stink will keep uninvited guests away. Don’t wash your hair regularly, try braids or buns. Or go for a taklu (bald) avatar… you’d save lot of water, shampoo, conditioner, time and money. When thirsty, opt for alcohol (neat). Cook non-spicy food. Avoid drinking extra water in the name of chillies. Don’t eat / drink more than you need to

If you ask me to describe my experience at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2010 in one word, I won't ever be able to do so. It was like the entire area had come to life, as if Mumbai was talking to us! I reached Kala Ghoda with my mother (second time visitor) and mom-in-law (first time visitor) and we were more than thrilled. The installations near the iconic Kala Ghoda were so lifelike! You got

I try to attend the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival every year. Last year, however, I missed it due to my work hours. But today, I am very excited. Now that I am at home, I can attend the festival at leisure! So today, I am all set to hit Kala Ghoda Arts Festival with my mom and mom-in-law. It's always tough to decide what to check out and what to skip out there. After all, it's all very interesting...

There are two types of people – good and bad. There isn’t anything like ‘almost good people’ or ‘almost bad people’. The sooner you realize it, the better.A few appreciate people who are good, but the rest and majority of people who are bad make use of good people. And yes, if you are good, you are not allowed to make even one tiniest mistake. Even if you do it accidentally, even if you are sure

Indian students being bashed up in Australia is a big deal. I agree it has to be. Indian students from one Indian state being bashed up in another Indian state (for whatever reason) is not a big deal. I fail to understand why.
