I am back am I
Apart from the title being a palindrome what does it mean? Does it declare to the world online that Anuja has returned and is willing to write? Or is the promise going to be broken by another silent phase that may last for a time period nobody can predict. How does it matter, for now, this is a blog for all its worth (and the worth I may add in sil... more...

A Child in Jaipur
This is something I had written a few years back, dont remember exactly when in my diary. Since I am feeling too lazy to write anything new, I thought Id keep my posting active by adding some old stuff:)                                                      A child in JaipurSince the only thing I have done enough to write home about is travel, I am t... more...

Time and GMT and DST
It has been a long time since I have posted anything on this blog, and it is for that reason, and not much else, that I am writing or trying to. Actually, there isnt much to write about, and how nice is that? Can you imagine a life in which everything is so smooth, or dull, that nothing provokes you to write about anything. Then you know, that you ... more...

The difference between a developed and a developing country: or (chori ki story)The past week was a learning experience on the above count. Last Thursday Venkat lost his bag on the tube.

Menu for thr Week
This blog is just to record for the future my wonderful menu for the week that was. Without describing further, let me start listing!Monday 25th Feb: I made More-Kootan and stir-fry vegetables. Mor-kootan is a Kerala dish, made with curd and coconut and some vegetable. I used brocolli to good effect. Oh, it tasted and looked awesome:) Stir-fry vege... more...

Some Indians in Britain
If there is nothing to say then one should shut up. But momentum is something that propels one to continue what one is doing. So substance abuse is going to happen now - search anything and write about it. Do you know that this weekend I liked UK?

Swami Anubhavananda!
I realized that blogging should not be taken more seriously than ones capacity because today I saw more than decent responses even for the latest blog I was seriously embarassed about.

I still dont know what I am going to write about, so I think I will categorize the blog after I am done with it.

HOW RELIABLE IS CHINA?
CAN CHINA BE EVER TRUSTED ? China swallowed Tibet in the late fifties. None in the world had the guts to question it. It declared war on India in 1962 just because it gave asylum to the Dalai Lama and India could not emerge victorious in the war as China was superior in military strength.All this happened in spite of Nehru 's promotion of "Indo-Chi...  more...

Chennai rains
Looking outside my office window, I could see the rain drops gently caressing the mother earth. It was not a heavy downpour but a mild drizzle at best. Yet there is a welcome relief from the scorching heat that we experienced in most part of May. Certainly the season has changed. The worst of summer is over for now. The summer would be back next ye...  more...

Physics and Music
Can we define music? Most of us may agree that it is bourn by a time series, jointly or independently, of amplitude, frequency and complexity, three fundamental well-known parameters used in physics.

Though Phir Subah Hogi is loosely based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment published in 1866, the film is actually more of an emotional plea for social justice in 'Nehruite' India and is a fine example of political comment combined with humanitarian compassion.The years following Indian Independence saw the entire socio-political system un...  more...
