    We settle for entertainment, not love. But I’m no longer looking for disposable. I want something real, something I can nurture and build a life with.

    Opportunity knocks more than once

    Ever met someone who reminds you strongly, sharply of someone else? Even when they don’t look alike, sound alike or seem to have anything in common? What about situations that seem to keep repeating over and over again? We date the same kind of person, our spouses remind us of…

    Manolos And Sindoor

    My latest obsession is Sex and the City. For the past few days I’ve been wrapped up in the love lives of Carrie, Samatha, Miranda and Charlotte, dazzled by the wardrobes and their lifestyles, amused by their incessant man-izing (!) and thoughtful over the dilemmas they face. Okay, I know…

    What would your ex- say about you?

    Maybe I’ve just been watching too many episodes of Sex and the City but then, I’ve also been pondering on committment-phobias a lot recently.

    We all know that men never listen. Hearing is the curse of the non-masculinity endowed. I’ve had to remind certain people of things I’ve stated categorically earlier. I am a great friend. I’m worth my weight (or in my case, at least fifty times my weight) in gold as a…

    Happiness has nothing whatsoever to do with what’s happening in your life but at least a little to do with how you feel about it. And in my case, peace of mind too, I think. My name means harmony and sometimes that thought makes me (and other people laugh). But…
