Marina Thursday
The ocean getaway was being planned for a while now, but the winds just weren’t cooperating. So this Thursday morning, when my colleague Rebecca texted me to say that WindFinder was predicting waveless seas, I was up at 7 am all dressed and read to hit the blue! Rebecca and her husband own a lovely little motorboat here and take it out on weekends from the Bander Al Rowdha Marina. … Continue reading “Marina Thursday” →
Phosphenes
Have you ever been in love with a notion?One that wakes you up with a smile every morning Have you ever known a scent to overpower you?A heady aroma that makes you feel butterflies in your stomach Have you felt time stop?And transport you to a place that you never knew of Have you ever kept somebody’s handkerchief?And felt like the very world was right there, in your drawer Have … Continue reading “Phosphenes” →
The Book Of Love
What is love? Ask me, and I will sing you this song. If Peter Gabriel is around, I will have him serenade you. If both of us aren’t here – just give this a listen and you’ll know. For those of you who haven’t watched ‘Shall We Dance’, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Winter Deprived
November is almost coming to an end. If I were in Gurgaon now, my immensely warm white comforter would be out – as would be my Zara overcoats. There would be no need for the fan and Shankar Bhaiya at office would be requested to bring in the lemon tea first thing in the morning. The huge glass windows of Vatika Triangle would probably be all foggy in the mornings … Continue reading “Winter Deprived” →
The Obituary Of Waves
I read this on my reader and for a moment fell in love with the thought. I wanted this to never get lost, so am re-posting here. *** Waves. Nobody ever writes them. No one stops and thinks about how they come to an end, using up their dying breath to sometimes crash passionately against the rocks and sometimes kiss the sand tenderly before disappearing. I wonder if the waves … Continue reading “The Obituary Of Waves” →
Crêperie, s’il vous plaît?
I am often told that I do not eat to live, but rather eat to live. Food is my panacea. For when I’m low, when I’m ecstatic, when I’m afraid, when boredom strikes, or even life seem hopeless! As I have already written before, one of my most favourite television shows is definitely the Master Chef series. I also take particular pride in my ‘Gourmandise’ board on Pinterest. Now, since … Continue reading “Crêperie, s’il vous plaît?” →
Mirage
Isn’t it almost magical when something you least expect comes to life? It was an identical emotion when dark clouds appeared out of the blue and there were raindrops on my head this Thursday. Like I have told many, seeing a cloud cover used to prompt us to ask for a ‘free period’ in school. The magnitude of actual precipitation can be imagined. Rumbling thunder, cracks of lightning, subtle showers. Makes for any … Continue reading “Mirage” →
All you need is love. And a dog.
“You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.” Happy Belated, Birthday – John Lennon.
London Dreams
London through rose-tinted glasses I dreamt of London last night. I dint know why but its still as clear as it can get. There wasn’t anything eventful in the dream but I found myself roaming endlessly and aimlessly in the city. I took pictures of the Big Ben and Instagrammed it (Yes, even in the subconscious) I lived in a house with a bright red door. I … Continue reading “London Dreams” →
