RANDOM THOUGHTS: Commonwealth Games
http://cvlakshmi.blogspot.com/2010/10/commonwealth-games.html
Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Sunday, October 03, 2010. Aaah, we can release the breath we were collectively holding. The opening ceremony was spectacular. Over the past few weeks we had become so cynical that we weren't expecting much I guess. Still we should not bank on last minute cleanups as these could always come unstuck.

Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Monday, October 31, 2005. Today is Naraka Chaturdashi, Chhoti Diwali. The house is decorated, but then we had to undo some things because the paint-polish wallahs chose to come today to do some unfinished jobs. Now the whole house is full of spirit-fumes. Should I have sent them away with a flea in their ear? Posted by LAK at 3:24 AM. Links to this post. Thursday, October 20, 2005. Life in the Fast Lane. This festival has been celebrated in countless hindi...

Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Monday, April 17, 2006. She waits nine months for you to enter the world so that she can be light on her feet again. So that she can lie on her stomach again. So that she can take painkillers again. So that she can jump again. So that she can be herself again. She waits for you to sleep the night through, so that she can sleep too. She waits for you to take those first steps so that she can lead you by the hand. She waits for you to eat on your own. Mass h...

RANDOM THOUGHTS: September 2005
http://cvlakshmi.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Thursday, September 08, 2005. A long while ago(maybe 7 or 8 years) I came across an article titled "Govt. funds denied to rape victims"that quoted the then Illinois republican representative as saying" I am against violence against women. I am also against violence against unborn children. What crime has the unborn child committed? He is arguing on the assumption that life is a reward, a prized gift and death is punishment. But is it?

RANDOM THOUGHTS: December 2005
http://cvlakshmi.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Friday, December 16, 2005. TOI report: Father Christmas may be perceived as a scary figure. It is a while ago now, when my daughter was 3 years old. She went to a small pre-nursery school- -it was one room, to be exact. It was run by a lady who loves kids, and her own having grown up, found this an ideal way to spend her time. He would cajole her in the most avuncular fashion, whereas I wanted him to be a figure of awe! Posted by LAK at 9:41 PM. If one has...

RANDOM THOUGHTS: March 2006

Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Thursday, March 30, 2006. This is one surprise package. For an O .Henry and Jeffrey archer aficionado,. Me, it was a treat. There we are, chugging along a la Bunty aur Babli (not comparing, but a con film coming close on the heels of B&B is bound to draw at least a mention of the latter) and then wham! Priyanka Chopra was adequate( I think I qualify as a genuine reviewer now! Na, na karte. We admire him. It makes me want to see Taxi no. 9211. Posted by LAK...

Opinions about everything which strikes the eye. Tuesday, November 22, 2005. I read about under dressing for weddings, in this post. And this time, I hadn’t even asked! You can imagine me running after the coolie in high heels and a Kanjeevaram! And clutching the purse for dear life! Ugh, the platform was dirty- -I hiked up the sari to above the ankles, and bunched up the pallu too. The sari went to the drycleaners the next day! Posted by LAK at 9:02 PM. Links to this post.
