I finally got through and finished the book yesterday. Closing the book, I felt a mix of emotions. I loved Jhumpa Lahiri’s writing style yet there was something about that book that felt incomplete. Not sure if it was because I was expecting something more from the loose trilogy that ended the book.
Now that I […]
Waiting to have my blood drawn as part of some routine checks, I noticed this in the waiting area. I couldn’t help smiling to myself. As K summed it - thodappa kattai in a chatti (brooms in a pot).
As we waited, we ended up discussing decor and what is Art. Growing up, I remember lots […]
I know many of you who already have your reviews up were looking forward to the post today. While I will be posting my review shortly today, I thought I will push posting the round-up by a week to give two others a chance to have their reviews in. Chime in with your thoughts.

Yesterday after we were done dinner I curled up on the couch in my living room with Jhumpa Lahiri’s An Unaccustomed Earth. Strains of music filtered in from the TV in the family room where K sat lost in his world full of lights and sound emanating from the TV. It took me a while […]
I got this as a forward from a friend. It made me think and I figured instead of forwarding it on, if I posted it here may be I can ask what YOU think about it
I could not find the actual source, if anyone knows please let me know and I will attribute […]
Trying to focus on a design document I was preparing I had a perpetual frown on my face. My cell phone rang and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. Tempted to let it go to voicemail, I looked at it and on an impulse answered the call. A young female voice queried “Lakshmi?”. “Yes.” […]
Lying on the couch yesterday afternoon after a filling meal consisting of leftovers from the get-together on Saturday. I watched K clear the kitchen. A random thought crossed my mind and I asked him “How many ‘bad’ words do you know?” Interest piqued, he thought long and hard and replied with some of the commonly […]
It was Bangalore yesterday and now Ahmedabad.
Where is all this heading to? I feel anguished.

Following a forward from a friend, I checked out Chetan Bhagat’s inaugural speech at Symbiosis Pune. I quite enjoyed it and thought I would link it back here for those who have five minutes to spare.
A simple but profound message.
