As promised yesterday, I played TT today and it felt wonderful (as if I had got wings) . In reality I was actually not able to move much (let alone fly). And in a doubles game (that is what we play mostly) not being able to move well is a huge liability. I have said…
Sea Shells and Pizza
Pizza and Sea Shells, is there a link? Very minor, they were part of my extremely hectic and tiring day today. I had a long class, one where students interact a lot on their own in the seminar (with me as the mediator) and they went on for half an hour more than the scheduled…
Mall Ratting!
We went to one of the numerous Gurgaon Malls to watch Slumdog Millionaire (quite a watchable movie), so what else can I share but Mall pictures! These are taken with my camera phones. This is one of the less crowded Gurgaon Malls on the weekdays hence I could easily click pictures without people in it!…
Off To A movie Today!
Probably Slumdog Millionaire. People at work are taking pot-shots at my ankle, asking if I would play TT in the evening even after my pronounced limp and crape bandage in evidence. The students are happy, thinking I may actually cancel a class. But they are in for a surprise, I would not cancel any!

When Forced to Sit Still!
Railway Tracks at Sunset When forced to sit still (ankle sprain right now) I miss walking and traveling with a vengeance! And I am as cheerful as a bear with a toothache. I have had sprained my ankle on numerous occasions so it is not a new occurrence for me. This one is also minor…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Fishermen Mending Fishing Net at Surathkal
Fishermen Mending Fishing Net at Surathkal Beach This picture was taken on the post lunch walk at the Surathkal Beach. I was turning back towards the lighthouse and saw these men. I am quite hesitant to click people. But they asked me if I would like to take their picture! What more could I ask…
Surathkal Trip Report at Gonomad Now
Boats at the Beach, Surathkal My trip report about Surathkal is now up at the main Gonomad site. I kept walking just next to the waves soaking my jeans up to my knees. There is hardly any beach wear concept for women in India. … but I have to remind myself to wear a Capri…
Taking a Tumble!
Restoration at the City Palace, Jaipur I have to admit the title of my post and the picture above are partially misleading. The painter on the platform did not take a tumble. It is me who took a tumble today. And got it in my left ankle. A minor sprain but probably enough to make…
Them Doggies Again and a Few Cows as a Bonus
Cow with Big Horns Today evening when I was coming home, I stopped on the way to pay my phone bill (I still don’t pay it online but that is another story). It took me a while to pay it in person. Still, I decided to buy some Sweets (Jalebi, there goes my watching weight…
