Hands down, dogs, the best

What animals make the best/worst pets? My shih Tzu senior is looking at me as I write this. It’s time for her treat. But I know she will wait till I finish this. Imagine a cat in this scenario. No. I can’t imagine. I like cats. Fun they are! As pets, no thanks. I would rather a rat than a cat. I can’t imagine people having snakes and tarantulas as pets! Wierdos I don’t give spiders a…

Baby panda - watching

What job would you do for free? The list for the job or better still jobs I would do for free is big. But first one on that would be Be a baby panda – minder. I would need a bit of training, Read it a lot of training! But I would love to watch them, little pandas, and help them a bit in finding what they want. More so since they seem to have very little clue on how to go about it without…

Track & Field - duh

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? Olympics – it’s a genetically induced excitement. Track & Field and especially the 100, 200 meters finals . That’s adrenaline- pure rush! Still remember Usain bolting and Blake simmering. On that note, though a late compliment, the London Olympics right from the word go was a class act. The selection of the theme Colour (purple, oh lord),…

Ahh and awww and awe and ohhh

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was five I just wanted to live that moment Not kidding. At the most I would have wanted to become a teacher only to whack the teacher who was blasting me. I didn’t think how it would have panned. I mean, I should at least have thought that the teacher would also be aging and … Leave it… Funny, or not so funny, I don’t…

The Marriott hotel we stayed that we had booked for its fantastic views of Times Square stood overlooking swathes of ice. Even when Times Square was drenched beyond belief and was…

Token of gratitude through genuine words…

How do you express your gratitude? That’s my lil girl! Not lil anymore ❤️ Gratitude genuine erupts in words! I put that in a note with soothing images, and share it with the concerned in not less than 24 hours. Timing is important. Procrastination never has a role here! If at all, it’s role is just outside. Watching the action with anger. Immediate response if I am face to face with a…

Basundi first. Veg biriyani next!

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? The intensely amazingly yummy Basundi that my dad used to buy from a particular shop in Coimbatore, was my sister’s and my favorite dish. The sweet dish Basundi is simple yet heavenly. Made by reducing milk to a quarter of its quantity till it turns into flaky milk flakes with a generous amount of dry fruits added. I loved the…

The best looking …

Write about your first crush. Ah, that excitement rush…. I can still get the faint good-feel rush even as I think of those days, circa 1980. Home town home I was in my school final and he was in college. I used to see him as I walked to my school from home. He would be waiting at the bus-stop along with his friends. He had dashing looks and sharp eyes. His posture and walk were so majestic,…

Australia, Japan and Canada

What countries do you want to visit? Australia coz I love the TV series Australian Master Chef when the older crop of judges ruled the airwaves! How beautifully they captured the lengths and breadths of Oz land. Cities and idyllic beach towns that we hadn’t heard about, cuisine so distinctly different and the amazing natural bounty of fruits and vegetables you can imagine with no…

Same salary with lesser work

How do you want to retire? You don’t and you can’t retire completely from working especially if you have made your passion your profession. Like drawing or singing or even writing. Of course writing. I got off from hectic fast pace working a couple of years ago when COVID 19 hit the scene. That pace suits me fine now. It’s not slow but it’s not super fast. And writing like endless pot of gold…

When my kids came out finally…

Describe one of your favorite moments. There are plenty! During a press meet when Sadguru had come to Oman What do I say? What do I leave? Every moment I had spent with my dad and mom stand out as special. I must have been barely ten months old and I don’t know if you can process memories of that young age. But I remember taking a pan of yoghurt and wobbling around and my dad was enjoying…

Got wished by family and friends

What notable things happened today? They all wished me because today happens to my birthday! Today is also my four legged puppy daughter Tanya’s birthday. In human years she might be 80, but she came home as my cute puppy and she is still a cute puppy! In fact a cuter pupper. Notable thing: An old friend who keeps in touch through birthday wishes and new year wishes, wished me! Glad to know you…
