Mum is finally home. Sita made agala, which was awesome. Went to work today. Chilled out at Chatz, had a beer and went to SC. Finally back home in bed with a book. Life is good. There’s a lot to be thankful for.
Basically, nothing much to report expect I’ve lost 7.5 kgs in less than two months. I’ve learnt so much about losing weight, and it really is a science. Life has been great thus far. Yesterday when I knew I lost that much, I decided to indulge myself (in a paleo way) at Echo. The service was exceptional, the choice ...
There I am with Yulia of Bake That Thing at the Good Market. I love that picture. I’m in the best shape ever (mentally, physically, and financially). Physically, I was in better shape a decade ago, but was pretty sad with my life. I spent the last few days writing articles for Esteem, and I’m drained. There’s so much ...
I’m sipping Hot Cocoa right now in bed and am just so content. I can state I’m in the best position ever (physically, emotionally and economically) and that’s something to smile about. Mum is finally on the road to recovery, but I’m still annoyed with how the doctors and the hospital behaved. Everything has become a business. I can’t ...
Murder was part of the menu and featured richly in a day’s work: getting called in to a murder scene; taking samples of hair, blood, semen, fiber etc.; jotting down quick notes, and wrapping things up so that the crime scene could be cleaned up. He didn’t give this entire process much thought; he just went with the flow, seeing ...
I thought it apt to wear a kurtha-inspired shirt that day as I knocked on the tall, black gates of India House. A moment later, as the gates opened wide, I stood dwarfed by the rolling gardens and the vista that housed the Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka and his wife. It truly was a scene that took my ...
Left office. Started Paleo Diet + Intermittent Fasting. Dropped 5 kgs in less than 3 weeks. Need to amp the workouts and be stricter with the meals. Had a great day today: Mixed Grill at the Bavarian, movie at Daniel’s and home in bed. Cheated with Jagro strawberry tarts and chocolate chip ice cream. Que sera, sera. A new day starts tomorrow.
As Michael descended in a gust of wind with lightning crackling behind him, he looked at the man lying on the ground. Unseen by the people around him, Michael looked helplessly as the mad mob were braying for his blood while the Roman soldiers marched him towards the cross. They drove nails into his hands and feet, and forced a ...
Twirling her blonde hair, which was embellished with wisps of orange highlights, through her fingers, she made her way lazily towards the master bedroom. It seemed that the house was alive. In a way it was. She thought of Sade, and Somebody Already Broke My Heart drifted through the speakers embedded in the ceiling caressing her with waves of affection. ...
All Marian could do right now was dig into her cup of nut brittle, and settle down on the park bench to read Paulo Coelho. Then she got distracted: the sun shone through maple leaves, and burnished her white skin. She adored the warmth. A squirrel ran up near to her feet, and cocked its head, and sniffed the air, ...
We are just cruising down to Massachusetts, he said. It really was like the good ole days; going gung-ho with the gas pedal; listening to the Gin Blossoms; downing some of that Jameson, and appreciating that yellow burn in their guts. But this was different. Warren saw it. He saw it in the nervous tic, which tapped out a secret ...
Laura said that if she ever dies, she’ll let me know whether there’s life beyond the grave; it was just a half-hearted tease to a half-hearted question I asked about immortality. I counted to 40 as she raced around various trees and bushes and hid. We’ve done this numerous times, but there was a morbid sense of unease enveloping me ...
Sita is down with fever since yesterday. Mother is recuperating from her bout of endocarditis. I left my job to take over the reins at home. The bitterness of doing so has led to acceptance, and, in fact, a sense of contentment. Life is chilled out. Been going doing a combination of paleo and the warrior diet. Lost 5 ...
Hey, Mama said, once I picked up the phone yesterday. You wondered why I didn’t call you all this time, she clattered over the phone. Come visit me in Colorado, she laughed. What’s up? — I asked. That’s when she barely whispered after a pregnant pause — Because then you’ll know. So I went down to Colorado, used my key ...
