Halloween just went away last week and I trotted away in a venetian masquerade eye mask. I followed my cherub (my DD as I love calling her that) from one doorstep to the other saying ‘Trick or Treat’. It was a chilly evening but it hardly dampened the spirits of these kids.

In my previous post I had touched the few basics of Malvani cuisine but this time it is going to be more detailed. It has its similarities from his cousin konkani cuisine but like every […]
“How good something is should never be determined by its cost, designer, origin, or its perceived value by others.” ― Ashly Lorenzana SALE, SALE and SALE !! Does that make your eyes lit.

I hurriedly entered home taking a deep breath. My eyes looked like they saw a dead man walking. I had rushed back from office amidst fresh terrorist attacks in south Bombay. This was my first brush with terrorism. I am from a very small place and where stray crimes were rare, a burglary and even more […]
Bengal, the fertile land stretching from the foothills of himalayas to the sunder bans of bay of bengal.
