India Shining

Used to be, each ration shop in Madras had long queues. Nothing much has changed. There are still queues. Except, at ATMs and not ration shops.

Travel and photography in India

Dear foreign travellers/photographers,

Rajasthan is not India. Rajasthan is just 1/28th of India.

Odds, ends and a photograph.

It’s time the world ditched the archaic, propah spelling “sir” and embraced Saar. No more Sir. C.V. Raman. Or even Sir. Elton John. We need Saar Raman, Saar Kumaran and their tribe.

People in Madras/Chennai. Would you please stop using the roads I use. You see, I need to get to where I am going in a hurry and I can’t do that with all you Indicas, Benzes, Taveras and Logans cramping my style.

Culinary escapades

Word of advice, dear people. If you have just ordered a lasagna, don’t expect or answer a phone call that will keep you away from said lasagna for 30 minutes. Frozen tomato/Parmesan cheese goo – not good.
