Unlike last year when I brought the Indian flag to work and generally wore the tricolor in my clothes, this year I was too busy performing the Varalakshmi Vratham this morning that the flag was left behind at home. Not much has changed though. Like every year before, I reminiscence about the flag hoisting ceremony […]
Here we go with the round-up after some delays. Without much ado,
Just Someone of Book in a page has her review here. While you are there be sure to check out her other reviews too.
Suman of Thoughts Unlimited has penned her thoughts on the book here. Suman has an uncanny ability to relate the most […]
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 […]
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 […]

More than the actual […]

When I wanted to leave a comment, I saw there were thousands before me and figured I’d make a post of it instead. So Ree, not sure […]
Not long back, like I mentioned here, K and I decided to go green and plant some seeds in planters on our little deck. When we embarked on the project, we did so without expectation. The idea was to get started, learn on the way and enjoy the process.
Two months later, our plants are blooming […]

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. For someone who “got” Aalavandan this should be better was the idea. The movie started on a dramatic note with the prelude to the 12th century […]
