Musings
Kaleidoscope of flowers
During this pandemic, we are all trying our best to stay indoors to keep ourselves healthy. Some have become creative and found themselves embracing their dreams, which remained unfulfilled all these years.
musing / A small step to self-sufficiency
This COVID-19 lockdown has seen so many firsts. It has seen the birth of many gardeners, chefs, bakers, painters, singers, dancers, comedians, and even, hairdressers.
musing / So old-fashioned!
The noise of every shifted gear was awesome. On a zigzagging upslope, playing catch-up to keep the car from rolling back with the perfect mix of clutch and accelerator wasn’t easy.
Monsoon and memories
The English rain feels obligatory, like paperwork. It dampens already damp days and slicks the stones already smoothened by the ravages of a thousand seasons.
#Perspective / A Father’s Day tribute to Don Corleone
The Godfather portrays a father-and-son bond in subtle, but strangely at the same time, monumental ways! And you have to agree that the Vito-Michael Corleone duo is one of the most iconic father-son relationships in fiction.
Musing / Rise of the Covidiots

musing / You are what you make
I believe this is when it rises to the level of a delicacy. Others might define a delicacy to be something rare, not common, or off limits because of price, or controversy. Truffles for the price, and foie gras for the controversy? But both are praised for their taste too.
musing / Reasons to love the holiday season
In the West, ‘it’s the most wonderful time of the year’, because the holiday season is just around the corner.
Something about the' 90s!
For most of my twenty-something years I have never romanticised the past. You see, in my head I was too young, too inexperienced and too eager to live in the present and anticipate the future to spare a precious moment's thought to the past.
Rain, rain, go away!
The transformation starts subtly enough. A cool breeze caresses bare skins; like a casual hug from an acquaintance you meet after a while.
Photoshoot at 60? Why not!
Tuck that tummy in! Get that chest out! Straighten that chin! Well, that will do for the moment.
Never mind the six pence
SOMERSET Maugham in his novel , The Moon and Sixpence, about the tumultuous life of an artist obsessed with his art above all else, draws the perfect analogy.
