    Meenaxi: A tale of 3 cities I saw the movie last year and now a few days back again. I liked it. No, I didn’t like the movie, I like the thought it explored. Minaxi was not a story being told. It was the story of how a story begins….

    Lunch was nice today. Something other than canteen food. A colleague and I made a quick trip to the nearest Subway to pick up sandwiches. It has been a long time since my last bike ride. I still love them. I have never owned a bike myself…never needed to. All…

    Someday I will have an office like this: A big desk made of the light-coloured wood…no clue what its called. A little pot of flowers…no, not cut out of bouquets by housekeeping, but grown and tended to by me. Big yellow flowers…zarberas or African daisies I think they’re called. And…
