I came across this on a friends newsfeed on FB. And now I can’t seem to get enough of it. The tune is so infectious and addictive. I have been listening to it three or four times a day. And much to the annoyance of those who travel with me frequently in my vehicle as well.I love the treatment which ...

First I curse the traffic. Why can't it be more congested? Then I curse Chhimi Tenduf-La. Why couldn't he have released his new book on Kindle? Then I curse myself. Why the hell am I writing like him? In short punchy sentences. I have started reading Panther. The second novel by Chhimi Tenduf-La. Of The amazing racist fame. As usual ...

The two exes hug each other closely… they look fondly into each others eyes... and smile.“It’s been a long time” he says.“It’s good to see you” she answersThey never parted as lovers but things have changed. Burning desire has been replaced by the warmth of friendship. Caring by concern. Fierce passion by affection. Romance by respect.They slip into a deep ...

After all Facebook can be considered the new public and guess old idioms need to adjust with the times. And washing ones dirty linen was exactly what I saw happening on my Facebook news feed a couple of days ago.It all began with this guy who has a reputation for writing incendiary articles publishing something about women also being responsible ...

"Her Christianity is making life hell for me" "She is praying for the needs of others forgetting the needs of those of her own. " "She prays for healing without realising the deep scars her faith is causing.""She prays for closure blind to the cracks which are appearing in the lives of those around her.""she prays for relief without feeling ...

These were the words which came out of the mouth of a humble Indian taxi driver by the name of Babul.“How Profound” I thought to myself “damn shame it is scripted”. These were one of two quotes which made a real impression on me when I had the pleasure of watching the movie “The Second Best Exotic Marigold hotel”. The ...

I thought I was late… in fact I was… maybe by a minute or two. I rushed to The Western Province Aesthetic centre where the A&K lit fest was held with great Anticipation. I did not even want to miss a minute of the session titled “Undoing the Stigma of Broken English” which was bound to be intriguing. I heaved ...

Or Serpentarius?I did not till recently and I am sure neither of the majority of you who are reading this post.But it is the 13th Zodiac sign. Yes I thought there were only 12 too till I came across this nugget of information. Astrologers have always known about the transition of the sun through Ophiuchus inbetween Scorpio and Saggitarius but ...

Most movies take you on an emotional roller coaster ride. However there are times that you really don’t want to experience these highs and lows. Where you want to watch something which is nice and easy and stress free. Like driving on the roads during nonagathey. That is where this film comes along. I came across this movie completely by ...

It is very rarely that you can get a Wild Life department bungalow when you need it. Which means you are left with the fancy lodgings which has sprung up around the national parks. Whilst they are definitely more comfortable it just does not cut it for me. Nothing can compare to the bliss of waking up inside the jungle ...

They say a picture paints a thousand words. But can the reverse happen? Can words bring a myriad of scenes alive in your mind? I did not think it was possible till I came across the book "The Amazing Racist” by Chhimi Tenduf- La. I know the name is quite a mouthful… fortunately the book was too but in quite ...

“The slow going Industrial Countries cannot absorb a significant amount of additional imports in the foreseeable future, hence the world does not have room for another export led china… therefore we have to move away from subsidizing exporters with cheap inputs and undervalued exchange rates…”These are the words of someone I classify as an Economic Rock Star. He is Dr. ...

He says "Yes, I loved you and then all we did was resent each other, try to control each other. We caused each other pain." "That's marriage." she said And that my friends is a classic scene from one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Which was a refreshing change from my previous movie experience. ...

She held her husband by the ear and menacingly whispered "it does not matter if you come home or not... but your pay packet has to..." This was the scene which tickled my wife’s fancy and made us stroll into the Savoy 2 on the night of the elections when everyone else was lying low indoors just in case curfew ...

The challenge of being at the top of your game is that it is extremely difficult to better yourself. This was the situation I used to experience with the Gallery Cafe when it came to desserts. For the past ten years or more my top three all time favourite desserts have been from the Gallery cafe. The top title definitely ...

It was way too early in the morning. And I had just travelled an hour to get to an opening ceremony at the factory of one of my clients.These were the words which were said to me in order to direct me to the function area in the large factory premises.As I was sitting and waiting for the dignitaries to ...

So after many months after its opening I finally decided to step into Subway. It was a rainy Sunday night there were less than ten people at the counter. Yet I had to wait an excruciatingly long time to place my order. The main reason being the person in front of me was taking her own cool time to order.Asking ...

...sometimes just being able to roll up your daughter’s shirt sleeves.That’s what I discovered a few hours ago. When my thirteen year old who’s going on sixteen came to see if her old man thought if her outfit was cool? Of course I had to make a slight alteration and as she thrust her slender arms out for me to ...

"You ice cold bitch"he said"You drunken art wrecking bastard" she answeredThey glared into each others eyes for what seemed like an eternity but it was just a few seconds.And then they laughed and kissed and became one once more.Thus ended one of the nicer movies I have seen in the past few weeks. Sadly with an uninspiring title like "words ...
