The Morning That Was...


I've never really been up at/till 6.30 in the morning! Today was probably one of those days! Oh I’m not yet into yoga or anything, and not even practising for any upcoming married life! Maybe it’s the Red Bull or it’s probably even psychological! Either way, I made the best of that morning!

I started by pouring myself a tall glass of orange juice (No, it wasn’t freshly squeezed orange juice, but Tropicana was the closest I could get!) I then walked up slowly to my terrace, balancing the orange juice in one hand and the laptop in the other. By the way, this was at 5-something in the morning, so I was still in exploratory surfaces. The plan was to just to take a quick peek at what the morning felt like at that hour, but apparently that wasn’t the plan after I stepped foot onto the terrace!

It was probably the serene calm or probably even the light breeze that kissed my face. It could have also been that excited group of birds flying back home. It was definitely something that took my breath away. It made me stare into nothingness for a while, embracing the sudden, soothing breeze that swept over me. Now I realize why people claim to have a fresh start because of waking up in the morning. Their day goes better. Hmm…

A sneak peak; even though pictures don't do as much justice...


Call it an inspiration, or a push or anything else, but it did make me do five suryanamaskars! All in the spirit of the golden hour! The birds were probably impressed, because soon after they all took flight as if to acknowledge me! The ‘kite couple’ took lead while soaring high, and the other crow and raven like birds tried imitating, in vain! Oh well, who am I kidding?! They were all probably only enjoying the morning just as much!

Namma Metro in Bengaluru!

After many months of, well, struggling rather hard at my workplace and thus not giving enough time to my blog, I now find myself in the land of gardens and now the land of Namma Metro! Only months after it began I consider myself among the lucky 10,000 to experience the much awaited Metro ride in Bangalore. And it was definitely worth the wait! So, how was it all? Smooth as hell! As of now, the Metro operates only in seven stations- from M.G. road to Byanapalli and it takes just about 15 minutes and costs just Rs.15! With sparkling clean interiors that is comfortably air-conditioned, there is adequate space to sit and stand. There are even small TV screens displaying educational content, while the male and female announcers are continuously announcing either the station names or regular instructions. To maintain this level of cleanliness, no food or drink is allowed anywhere on the Metro or any of the stations. Without further ado, let's bring out the visuals!! First view ...

Lost in Brownie Bliss!

You're lost in the woods somewhere and walking along for hours by the dim light from the setting sun. You walk alongside the trees hoping to find a way amidst them. There seems no hope at all, and honestly after a point in time, you're craving brownies! Gooey, chocolate, millionaire brownies! What the hell?! Cravings don't really have a time and place and that's why they appear out of nowhere finding a place in the pit of your stomach! You're busy trying to get signal on your phone to reach out to somebody for help, but all in vain! Your finger accidentally touches the browser window and voila, there's a recipe on my blog for brownies opened up right there! Oh c'mon! Temptations in the middle of the forest is so unfair! (Mental note to self: Make them as soon as you reach home!) So without further ado, let's put you'll out of the misery of knowing this wonderful recipe and seeing the pictures to put a face to it all! Gooey Millionaire Crusty...

To Town and Back...!

"What's wrong," she asked. I looked at her curiously and said, "Absolutely nothing! Why would there be something wrong on a day like this?" Confused? I am talking about the stunning weather that Bombay is experiencing this very minute! Light blue clouds and windy skies; can it get any better? While I was lying around on the ' katta' just staring into nothingness, my sister seemed to have got a little worried about my condition! Our morning started early, giving us more hours in this day. We stepped out of home at 7 only to drive to town and meet a certain gentleman at the Taj. Following which our hungry tummies were satisfied by a scrumptious breakfast at Cafe Mondegar! Bacon, eggs, sausages...the works! We even had a group of Harley hurlers give us company at breakfast, only to ride off into the sunset?! No wait, that is a completely wrong image! It's more like them to snarl off into the busy, robust streets of Mumbai and then onto some wide hi...
