• Things to do in Mumbai – Synopsis of my Fun Plan! (PART I)

      This is going to be a touristy kind of post. So this is not for those who live and work in Mumbai… because I’m sure they’d have seen and done these things every time an out of town relative or friend popped by. This is for those who come to Mumbai for a holiday or for those who like me needed to put together a touristy plan for visiting relatives. I had friends and family from abroad visiting Mumbai for 4 day...

  • The Time Traveler’s Wife - Review (of the Book & Movie!)

      You should not pick this book if you’re looking for a racy, sci-fi, fantastical book. This book is for those laid back sorts who want to read a human story and not dwell into the science or question the construct of it all. The story of Henry (the time traveler with a defective DNA) and his wife Clare (who meets her future 36 year old husband at the ripe age of 6) is one which grows on you as you turn each pa...

  • Indigo Deli, Colaba – a slice of breakfast heaven!

    When a friend suggested that I get up early one Sunday morning and drive down to ‘Indigo Deli’ in Colaba for breakfast, I was skeptical. Giving up my much needed shut eye on a Sunday needed a reason worth the sacrifice… but after a little persuasion I was ready to give it a shot. So early one Sunday morning (after many a ‘another 5 minutes’ from me and a lot of blanket yanking from the husband) we managed to get on o...

This is not really a post about anything in particular…Just some random stuff I was wondering about.

 

Staring at People

I wonder what really is the science behind being able to ‘feel’ it when someone stares at you. How does that work? How can you ‘feel’ someone’s eyes on you? Stare at someone for a bit (even their back) and without fail they will ‘feel’ it and turn around and look at you. It’s just strange isn’t it?

 

The collective consciousness of City Traffic

I’m not much into driving…It’s just tough for me to focus on so many things together. The pedals, the More >

Writing my review on Watchmen got me thinking about all the other Super Heroes I’ve watched and loved. That gave me this idea of listing the Best Super Heroes according to me and why I like them.

Please feel free to contradict and fight for your hero (In the comments section) in case he/ she don’t make it to this first list. J So here goes…

I have fond memories of my wedding. It was the usual big fat Indian wedding… a different function every day for the run up to the main event, a few thousand wedding guests, all the bollywood type dance and music, a few hundred ceremonies, all the pampering, shopping and tons and tons of feet touching and gift taking. I had fun! J

The only thing I thought could have been more meaningful was the wedding ceremony itself. I’m not sure if it was do with the undertrained priest that we had, or it is something to do with the ways wedding More >

Did you know a Human brain could think of more than 60,000 thoughts a day? And with a hyper active one like mine (which refuses to shut down even in the night), I’m sure one could touch about a 1,00,000 thoughts a day!

I wish there would be some technology (and I’m sure it’s not too far out to think it’ll be here soon) that would enable you to log an interesting thought, as you have it, into some kind of a portable thought machine. For example, say you’re sitting by your window, watching the monsoon rain come down on your More >
