Yeah, you can trust country music to come up with lyrics that make you stop in your tracks… since the first time I heard this song I have been completely floored by the music and especially the lyrics. It’s about this guy who wants to have a beer with Jesus, I know at the outset …
This is my favourite place in Madras, it’s the only place where that familiar feeling of high kicks in… the feeling that used to fuel our practice sessions every Saturday when I was in the church choir back home. The choir at St. Theresa’s church is the driving force behind this heady feeling of high, …
Everything does seem better in the glow of candle lights… I keep buying candles and candle holders and anything candle related…. it’s an obsession, but a neat one to have, don’t you think. Anyway, see those small white patterns on the table, those are called kolam patterns. Kolam is predominantly a south Indian tradition where …
So it’s yet another Independence day and the feeling of nonchalance continues… isn’t that worrisome. I would like to feel pride, love, hope and comfort for our nation, but how do you feel all that when you step outside the house and encounter shabby roads and pavements overflowing with garbage, jackasses urinating whenever and wherever, …

So my sister’s wedding went off well, with a few minor glitches… you know what they say bout glitches at a wedding, that there has to be …
So after checking out Sarangi and Amethyst we stopped by Anokhi at Chamiers Road. Heard about this place from Anju, and it’s a pretty shop filled with interesting ethnic stuff. I especially liked the bed sheets, quilts and curtains that had these really pretty Indian motifs all over. Everything looked quite nice and colourful… with a …
After Sarangi, we stopped by Amethyst another boutique store at Whites Road (quite close to Express Avenue Mall), Royapettah. This is a cool posh place hidden from the bustling din of the main road, and the entry way itself seems to transport you to another time and place far away from the cacophony of a …
So when my sister was in town we visited Sarangi, the Kanjivaram sari store located at Sterling Avenue, Nungambakkam.
