I’ll be back.

Up earlier than normal for a weekend, I heard K pull out of our driveway on his way to a cricket match. The clock showed 7:45 AM. I lit the lamps, made myself a cup of tea and sat on the couch with my phone to call Amma. Phone call done, I looked around. The […]

Life is good!

Sometimes in the hours before I am ready to call it a day, I sit on my recliner, feet up, laptop perched comfortably on my legs and browse. I cover news from MSNBC, The Hindu, Rediff, CNN, BBC and Google News. Then wondering what to do next, I haunt all my fave bloggers in the […]

A message for you!

I have my iPhone configured to check emails from my multiple gmail accounts and today morning I woke up to 6 new messages. Thrilled, I opened it up to see an email with a subject that said “Contact from —-”.
It isn’t often that I get messages from people who read my blog. OK, lets make […]

Two-fifty is a nice number

I missed the hundred and the one after that, so figured 250 was as good as another to celebrate. Yup! This is my 250th post. Been a little over eight months of consistent posting to get here. It has been one nice ride so far. Drawing inspiration from my everyday moments, my random thoughts and […]

Truly Global

If I haven’t already mentioned it many times over here, I am fairly obsessed with this blog. I love looking at where my visitors are coming from, what they like to read and what they search for when they come looking. From the straightforward “lakshmusings” to “men wearing pattu paavadai” or “dance in the rain” […]

“You make my day!”

Yes! Apparently I do.
Madhuram of Eggless Cooking says so in her latest post where passes on the award to me. Thank you Madhu! You did make my day for sure.

The funny thing is I saw her comment on here in the morning but did not have a chance to check out what she […]

A tag and a long one at that

Nita of A Wide Angle View of India tagged me this morning. Right when I was wondering what to write for today. So, all my half baked ideas moved to the back burner and I sat and pondered on these questions. What I realized at the end of it was that I was a […]

The joy of discovery

Most mornings as I have my pot of tea simmering on the stove, I have my laptop up on my kitchen island and bring up Google Reader to catch up on all those night owls who have been posting while I have been gloriously asleep. As I skim through the new entries and mark some […]

Spotlighting Unchaahi - The Unwanted Girl Child

Writing about what blogging means to me yesterday led me to other serious thoughts. Like the friends I make on blogosphere and the things they blog about. While all blogs that I frequent interest and impress me on many levels, there are a few that touch me deeply. Like Unchaahi. It is run by Roop […]
