Controversies JIRT

Posted in General, controversy, movies, tagged , on October 31, 2009 | 2 Comments »

A couple of weeks back we were discussing this song  (YouTube link below) and wondering how it had missed notice of the religious/cultural gurus.. One of us remarked that there would definitely be some controversy right before/after the release.
And this is exactly what happened.
 
I wonder if the film’s marketing team keeps some portion of the [...]

Of Age, contentment and restlessness

Posted in Me, tagged on October 30, 2009 | 6 Comments »

I had always believed that age brings in stability, contentment and peace in life.
I was wrong.
As I grow older (and older), a certain indescribable feeling is taking over me – that of restlessness.
I am content with what I have, but not with what I do.
I am happy being a wife, mother, daughter, working woman – [...]

The Buzzzy Bee

I never thought this term could ever be applied to me! I am one of those very laidback people, living life at her own pace.Some people call this trait as laziness, though! But now I have snapped out of that mode and been made to work endlessly thanks to a hyperactive kid at home [...]

Posted in Diya, Me, motherhood on October 24, 2009 | 14 Comments »

an intelligent mind who knows exactly what ticks you off
a typical girl who loves her (and her mom’s) creams, hairbands, clips, bags, etc..

Saratchandra’s women

Posted in Me, books, women, tagged on October 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I love Saratchandra’s writings. They are real and yet seem to be set up in an entirely different world than the one we live in. And that is what makes them so special and enjoyable, despite the pathos depicted. And there is something about the women he depicts. They are so similar to each other [...]

The aroma that got me addicted…

Posted in Me, RandomRamble, coffee on October 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I am speaking of fresh filter coffee, piping hot, that helps you go through a long day with  ease.  Its not as much of the taste as it is about the aroma which has got me hooked. Every time I pass by the Pantry on our floor (office), I can’t help but soak in [...]

This Diwali would be darker than usual

Posted in family, motherhood, tragic on October 9, 2009 | 22 Comments »

A distant relative lost their only daughter.

Why??
Why make it even harder for the woman who has [...]

Uprooted

Posted in Me, Memories, Solan, family on October 1, 2009 | 21 Comments »

- is exactly how I am feeling right now…
I dialed the familiar number again. It said ‘Then number you are dialing is out of service.”  And it broke my heart.
The telephone line has finally been disconnected.
And this is just the beginning of cutting off the ties.

My parents are shifting from Solan to Bangalore. [...]
