We had a Diwali Dance Party at our office last year. Diwali is an Indian festival that celebrates the return of a famous king (also a God). For me, it is time to dress up, eat good food, and hang out with friends and family. My friends and I did a Bollywood Dance routine for the ...
I love talking nonsense. It's a pity it is not a common practice and is underestimated. Sometimes, I speak so much logic and sense at work that I must be loopy. And I tell people I feel loopy, so they must bear with me. I don't know what they make of it, but I talk nonsense.

Why do we create? What is it in me that propels me to write a blog almost every week or work on a book? Writing a book is a massive undertaking - you get an idea, then you get snatches of some scenes, write some chapters, and then scratch most of it and write it again. All becaus...
I found this new cafe in Columbus called Joyas - opened by a Bengali-American chef. And today was another one of my favourites - grey, rainy day, so I thought, let's check the cafe out and get something spicy Indian _ishytle_.

Coronavirus - Let's start with THE topic on everybody's mind. Even if you do not want to hear about it you have no choice - it is impacting almost everything. We finally gave in to the fear that we might have no food at home (which made no sense) and Adam decided to make a trip t...
I have mentioned in the past that I do run a Bollywood Dance Class as a side hustle. It is my creative outlet for me, given the rest of my work is pretty organized.
It so happened that I choreographed wedding dances for three couples and one of them included proposal as well. An...
I just watched the movie Parasite. (Disclaimer: there might be some spoilers below). It is a Korean oscar-winning movie. The premise, plot and complemented with the acting. It is not a light watch - instead, it left me feeling very heavy in my heart for reasons that I cannot arti...
My brother and sister-in-law had a baby a few months ago. Until the day she was born - she was a concept. We spoke about her; we figured out her names, her traits - who will she look like. And then one day she was born - she was there in reality. And now she is a human being who ...

India has started a new system where every Indian is required to get an Aadhaar card much like the Social Security Number (or SSN) in the US. Now, India has a population of 1 billion and the USA about 328 million. While I was in India, my parents suggested getting my Aadhaar card...
The Artist's Way(https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-25th-Anniversary-ebook/dp/B006H19H3M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523487489&sr=8-1&keywords=artist%27s+way) is a book by Julia Cameron. It was a lifesaver for me. I grew up in India where getting a job is more important than follow...
When I first met Adam one of the my very emphatic statements to him was that I am not going to cook. Coming from India where it is assumed that girls will grow up and cook for their husbands and family, I assumed that Adam had similar notions. I was all set to make it straigh...
