Reaching into the mailbox, I had a real nice surprise. A year’s subscription to the Reader’s Digest!!! Courtesy my SIL. Grinning from ear to ear, I called her immediately and thanked her of course. There were so many things about it that I loved.
Reader’s Digest is one of my all time favorite magazines. It brings […]
Debating between watching TV and finding someone to bore over phone, I was standing by the center table when the phone rang. Thanking God for resolving my dilemma, I hurried to get the phone. I saw it was from my girlfriend and was grinning to myself thinking “Maatina paavam”. Roughly translates to “Poor girl. She […]

Friday night we had a graduation party to attend to. Armed with The Code Book by Simon Singh, we showed up a few minutes into the party. As we sat around in their spacious living room and exchanged pleasantries with the other guests, I noticed that almost all of them who were there had kids. […]
I woke up in the morning thinking my little niece turns ONE today!!! I have a smile on in what seems like a permanent fixture on my face today. Humming to myself I waited till it was a Godly hour to call my brother’s home and wish the little one. Not that she cares.. but […]
Yesterday sitting in the balcony on an old theater waiting for Dasavatharam to start munching on popcorn and sipping diet coke, I wondered if I would like the movie.
