As is my customary ritual I emailed my cousin V detailing my weekend jaunts. She replied back in an hour talking about her weekend and finished of her email with news of a family friend’s death. Somehow, reading her email made me feel sad. Real sad.

Sitting in the chair, waiting for my token number to flash at the DMV, my mind was on a trip of its own. Looking back over the past decade or so. Fresh out of college, envious of friends and colleagues who owned or drove a two wheeler to work, I would watch wistfully as they […]
K and I set out two Thursdays back, tugging a 50 lb suitcase and two carry on baggage as we looked forward to ten or more days of spending time with friends and family. Reaching San Jose we waited for our host to pick us up. As we stood waiting in the evening glow, it […]

Anyways what I mention below actually happened and might as well pass for my […]
As I liberally dusted myself with Mysore Sandal Talc today morning in what appears to be a recent habit, I couldn’t help thinking back at the days I scorned my amma, appa and athai for coating themselves liberally with talc.
