Update on the crazy week that was...
I'm in the mood for a tamil movie.....a nice tamil movie with good music, and a reasonable story line.....I wonder which movie will satisfy that craving.....
Among other news, I finished my salangai poojai last Saturday, it was a blast....
I discovered upon seeing the video later, that, thankfully, I do not have two left feet...and I have reasonable ( Read more... ) -
Weddings
So, I just saw pictures of a friend's wedding. Make that two of my friends' wedding pictures in the past couple weeks. Both of them in a partly south-indian style. And I just went, aawwwww......They were beautiful....I had forgotten that one could look so beautiful in the heavy sarees and flowers. The head gear of flowers, the henna on the hands, ( Read more... ) -
Tadaaa....

To do or not to do.....something.... anything?
Ingrid Betancourt was rescued on July 2nd after spending 6 years (!!!!) in captivity in Columbia. Read the story here.

Creepy crawlies
I bought myself a spearmint plant from the Farmers Market on Friday. It smells divine, though it smelt better on Friday than it does today. Also, I find that rosemary has a stronger smell than the spearmint, at least the one I own. I hope this plant grows better than the last one. I plan to transplant it to a bigger pot once it does.

India and more
Its been a month since I came home...home being Mumbai, India....good ol' big, bad, ugly Mumbai. Much has changed and much hasn't...as always. And I will get to that in due time. One of the reasons I have not written in a while is because there is a lot weighing on my mind.

A bit of everything
A little bit about everything, today, which means this is going to be one of those exceptionally long posts....
Unpleasant things first,
Taxes, its the 11th of April and I still haven't done them. Hopefully, tomorrow will see me posting them instead of hanging on to them indefinitely.
Westerns, I hope I have done the last of these....for a long time!
