The center of my universe

Some things are never easy, no matter how many times you have said them before. Goodbyes are one of them.

Some things are never said, no matter how easy they should have been. Telling someone that they are the center of your universe is one of them.

Little deeds of love

Someone asked me today if I missed home. I laughed and said, “Its been a decade since I left home. I am used to it”. I don’t know why I always lie when someone asks me that question. Or even to myself, for that matter.
My father would fill ink in my crooked Hero pen every [...]

Now, Germany is in the Netherlands?

Some time back, I griped about how people thought Singapore was in Germany (and everywhere else except where it really is). Now, check out how American Express addresses my credit card bills!

Sure, my previous address used to be in Holland, but that’s no reason to think Germany is in the Netherlands. I also [...]

Calculator Woes

Just one of those days when the world definitely doesn’t seem to be on my side. After surviving with a scientific calculator (legacy of my engineering degree), I decided it is time I graduated to a professional financial calculator. After I decided on a particular Texas model,I discoverd its not available in Duesseldorf (or at [...]

Apathy

I had my doctor’s appointment today and much against my better judgement, I decided to leave the safety of my house. Srijith had repeatedly assured me that “he would kick anyone’s ass” if they stared at my rather ghastly scarred face. I needn’t have worried at all, no one we met on the way so [...]

Sudoku - on my terms

I am a novice at Sudoku and I have promised myself I wont be lured into it. Some promises are hard to keep. One always finds a way out. I have promised myself I wont be lured into solving Sudoku. So I made my own.

The easiest way out in Sudoku ( ok, this is [...]

The Episode of the Mannequin

Have you ever seen a mannequin getting a change of clothes? Thank your stars if you haven’t. In the Shopping centre nearby, I was treated to the gory sight of a lady pulling out another lady’s (she looked so life-like) arms - both of them - and screwing out her head, so that she can [...]

Are you feeling under the weather?

“What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance”-Jane Austen
Why does the weather play such an important part in one’s lives? I remember, when I lived in Singapore, the ‘air-conditioned nation’, you are hardly ever really physically affected by the weather - all offices and most homes have air-conditioning, [...]

Tada!

Finally on online to-do list that I like : Tadalist
I have tried to have a centralised online tracking system for my chores - never really liked any - but I think I like Tada. Its:- simple (hate those complicated ones which try to do too many things at the same time) - allows me to [...]

A gals night out!

Just got back from a gals’ night out. Well, with Srijith in Denver, I had nothing much to do, so I actually got together some friends and had a great time! We tried out one of the eateries, Cubanitos, that was recommended by one of my colleagues - and it was one of the best [...]
