Some quotes dedicated to fathers of the World

25-Aug-06

Tomorrow, I will be in Madurai for my father’s first death anniversary. Been a little down the last couple of days thinking about those dreadful days. Thought, maybe I should dedicate this post to him – and what better way to make him happy (wherever he is) than letting him know that his son is […]

Get, Set, Go! Or should it be Get, Wet, Go!

13-Aug-06

Bed sheets have played an important role in my life. So much, if there were to be a flood in Chennai – and I am not saying this because there is no chance of a flood in this city – and we had to evacuate, the first thing I will grab will be my bed […]

Superstition

01-Aug-06

Last Saturday Rekha and I went to drop off my mother and younger sister at the railway station. They were catching the 9 p.m. Nellai Express to reach Madurai on Sunday morning.
We got into the car – I in my favorite driver’s seat – took the right turn to reach the apartment’s exit gate…and right […]

Rekha is getting ready for my family

15-Jul-06

This weekend we are holed up at home but the next one will be spent outside, with my family from Madurai. My folks from Madurai are coming to stay with us for a week or so. That’s considered a long stay in Chennai terms, but not according to Madurai standards.
“Amma, why don’t you and sisters […]

Some pictures from our Ooty trip

08-May-06

This was snapped while filling up the car before we climbed up the hill. Wonder why it says ‘you pay more in the hills’.

Check out the tea’s name - Nonsuch. When I asked the tea shop owner he said: “Thats because there is ‘no other such’ tea in the World.”

Thats Rekha and I with our […]

Our Ooty trip

02-May-06

Our Ooty trip was great. Let’s take one hair-pin bend at a time.
We reached Metupalayam on Saturday morning (29th April). As the train rolled into the station and I got down with the luggage…I had a feeling I had left behind something. I get this feeling often. Most of the time it is something not […]
