Whispering Windows: Dealing with Mental block
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2015/02/dealing-with-mental-block.html
Friday, February 20, 2015. Dealing with Mental block. Life is never easy. :). While all this was going on the Delhi election results were announced. So,now Delhi has an elected Government which has come with this landslide mandate and now we have only one party at the Vidhan Sabha as well.As if it was not enough to have one party at Lok Sabha. The democracy is going through some mental block of its own it seems. I have company indeed in the most ridiculous of ways. May be this is it, who knows?

Sunday, December 18, 2011. Wintery Sunday in Kolkata. As the season allowed us to cook to our heart's content trial run for all the saved up recipes were due. This weekend we tried these pizzas for brunch! Turned out pretty good! Although the cheese content makes you skeptical at times but then winter comes only for a month in this part of the world, so eat drink and be merry folks. Thursday, December 1, 2011. My top 10 books. Sohoj Path - Rabindranath Tagore - Kumor parar gorur gari, bojhay kora kolsi h...

Whispering Windows: July 2015
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. The way we look at things! Today was the absolute worst day ever. And don’t try to convince me that. There’s something good in every day. Because, when you take a closer look,. This world is a pretty evil place. Some goodness does shine through once in a while. Satisfaction and happiness don’t last. And it’s not true that. It’s all in the mind and heart. True happiness can be obtained. Only if one’s surroundings are good. It’s not true that good exists. Today was a good day.

Whispering Windows: June 2013
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. Speak Up - Dial 181 - New Delhi's helpline for women. The busy New Delhi help line was set up by the state Government after a fatal gang rape six months ago after the nation wide protests. And so far it has been able to give a patient hearing to 138,000 callers. Similar crimes are being perpetrated everywhere in the nation now. Like an epidemic it has spread to all corners of the country and not a day passes when one more grisly, gruesome tale is not reported. Recently, a college...

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Children gearing up for a match. And finally a silver lining! Tuesday, July 3, 2012. We have all read about the three wise men from east bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh on the birth of little Jesus. History too is replete with details of gifts sent to various emperors through the ages as a token of respect, allegiance or simply for diplomatic purposes. That's all we want to feel and know. Isn’t that sweet? I think it totally is. I think we do this because we miss t...

Whispering Windows: January 2015
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. Time after loss is the toughest and challenging. The anguish and pain throbs like a migraine for unending days. It is oh - so - easy to succumb to it's depths and completely drown. But I chose to do it differently and embrace life with all its sorrows, losses, pains and strive to touch a chord with me. I can guarantee you will discover life and it's meaning slowly but surely. I bought myself a good pair of shoes to walk or run so that I don't hurt myself walking or jogging on ...

Whispering Windows: May 2012
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. Been wanting to complete my post graduate studies for some time now. But every attempt has been a non-starter so far! Fortunately , today I found the perfect fit after so many years of waiting, almost 15 years since I last enrolled in Masters' program! The good news is that education in India is slowly catching up with me! Delighted. So here I go this year investing in my education. Wish me luck guys. Friday, May 25, 2012. Friends, adda, saris and a bridal shower. Aaditto and Toma...

Whispering Windows: Shocked, appalled and disgusted!
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2015/02/shocked-appalled-and-disgusted.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Shocked, appalled and disgusted! The horrors of India, Paris, Bangladesh in the recent times makes me feel nauseous. What started with a fatwa started the 100 years war. But this is pushing it just too far! Yesterday's killing of blogger Avijit Roy in Dhaka makes me angry. Very angry now. Why are we so scared of the written word? What can be so scary about writing that we have to kill for it? Because the pen is mightier than the sword, is it? How many of us will you kill?

Whispering Windows: Wanderlust - Rajasthan - Part I
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2015/03/wanderlust-rajasthan-part-i.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. Wanderlust - Rajasthan - Part I. Once a year one must visit at least one new place, where everything is quite unfamiliar. But I am more fortunate and get to visit new places for work all the time. This March it rained with new places and experiences for me and how! Like a passing clan of nomads walking the highway with their camels and et all! I also got a chance to visit the Central Effluent Treatment Plant at Jaipur Integrated Textile Park Pvt Ltd. nearby which supports 20 e...

Whispering Windows: Why comfort food and food safety never work together? Oh, why?
http://illusions-illusions.blogspot.com/2015/06/why-comfort-food-and-food-safety-never.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Why comfort food and food safety never work together? What is comfort food? That’s a place where each mouthful of this miraculous, wonderous slurpy or al - dante sensation helps transport you and wash away all the blues. The now banned product has seen me through many, many ups and downs of life. But I still can’t figure why would an international FMCG brand won’t have their consumers’ health and welfare on their mandate and only focus on profits? Currently, we are involved in bui...
