• 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.

  • 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.

It’s been some time since I read Malcolm Galdwell’s ‘Blink’. At the time when I read it, I thought it was an eye opener. I especially liked his stories/ examples on how instinctively, without even knowing it, we make decisions about people, races, and things in the blink of an eye. In the book, some of his stories highlighted how black people in the US experience instinctive racism due to the type cast expectations/ views that white people have of them.
