Really enjoying this biography of Vikram Seth’s Uncle and Aunty with who he lived with while studying at Oxford. Uncle Shanti is his mother’s brother and Aunt Henny is a Jew from Germany. They met in the early 1930s in Berlin and the book chronicles both their stories, and so also gives a perspective of [...]
The Festival of Colours
Posted in daily stuff on February 28, 2007 | 1 Comment »
It’s Holi again this weekend.. that exciting time of year when we get to run around throwing coloured paints and dyes at each other. Not quite sure sure where we’ll go, it’s generally wise to keep off the streets on the days, as you’ll get bombarded for sure! Normally our building society puts up a [...]
oh what a cruel cruel world..

another weekend flies past too quickly..
Friday night.. I had a night off from hosting the Germans and instead went out with some Kiwis who were in town.. did the usual show-off-the-town crawl: started at Dome for sunset drinks, then dinner at Salt Water Grill, and then we all decided to go to Shiro for a drink ( [...]
another office party

last night was our annual office party where we invite all our clients and make polite chit chat and then get stupidly drunk at the end. This year was no different.
Usually I hate the chitchat and find I have absolutly nothing to say to the old Indian business men whose names I can never remember and [...]

In an attempt to rewind the toll that the last 2 years of new-romance-mumbai-snack-food-chocolate-addiction-sitting-at-a-computer-for-10-hours-a-day-general-laziness has had on my body, I have taken on a sport. Gymming it didn’t work as my concentration levels are about 4 minutes long.. So playing tennis means i can get really competitive and angry and whack the ball which feels [...]
patience

Either my patience levels are shrinking or people are getting really annoying lately..
Last night a group of us went to dinner with a colleague who was in town from Germany. At the start of dinner I was looking forward to some nice conversation and news about happenings in the head office.
By the end of dinner [...]

I am speechless….
This wasn’t supposed to be a sports blog and I don’t want to go on about it but..
We just beat them again! 3-0 series whitewash
I am stunned and take back all comments I made about Craig McMillan being past his prime (though I still think he looks like a chubby cuddly teddy bear, albeit a teddy [...]
and again!

it’s like a crazy dream.. Australia sets a target of 337 against NZ at Eden Park, everyone thinks the kiwis could never get that.. But a young Taylor step up to the mark, making his second ODI century – 117 off 127 balls – and suddenly New Zealand are so close.. 33 runs from 34 [...]

There really is nothing quite as satisfying as absolutly hammering the Aussies in cricket.
Today at the Wellington Stadium: Aus – all out for 148; NZ 149/0 in 27 overs!
The first time in history that Australia have been defeated by ten wickets, and the first time in 22 years that New Zealand have had an opening [...]

My office is on Nariman Point and overlooks Back Bay, Cuffe Parade and out over the Arabian Sea to the foggy horizon.
We see gorgeous sunsets from our desks everynight – big red hanging suns falling away into the layer of smog that sits about the horizon.
We can watch the fishing boats from the Koli fishing colony come and go, day and [...]
rain

it rained yesterday in Mumbai
woke up and pulled the curtains back to reveal a grey, wet day with the gentle patter of raindrops on the window. In any other country I’m sure this sight would be quite depressing but in Mumbai this is a sight to treasure. The weather is usually completely dry from October to June.. [...]
