http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Aug 6, 2014. So, Ive been tagged to post 3 things am thankful for , for the next 5 days. This is going to be generic, and not just for this day, coz I have a lot of things am grateful to the Universe for, and my moment of epiphanies cant happen in the middle of a busy day. Gratitude - Day 1. 1 As sappy as it sounds, I am grateful for having found love. And it really makes me feel complete. Get yourself some tea and read. Labels: Not so mundane.

Tea & Dark Chocolate: October 2014
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Oct 16, 2014. That default setting…. I once read somewhere that if you want to sound intelligent , just quote David Foster Wallace. :-). I haven’t read Infinite Jest, and so I do not know his real literary prowess. And I think its slightly pretentious to quote him, but then we all know that I have a bad judgmental side to me. More on that later in this post. Image Courtesy – Transparent Cities. Get yourself some tea and read. Something for the mind. I love...

Tea & Dark Chocolate: March 2012
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Mar 29, 2012. Books… the impact! I am a huge fan of Haruki Murakami, his books, his style of writing (with due credit to his translator) and the world he weaves in his stories. I’ve learned a lot and read up a lot after finishing each of his books because of the many references he gives to many topics in his books, all those that he likes or he draws his inspirations from. So when his 1Q84. Get yourself some tea and read. Mar 7, 2012. Inspired by my friend.

Tea & Dark Chocolate: December 2014
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Dec 30, 2014. 2014, the Year that was…. Its become almost a tradition, I noticed, me writing my year in review post towards the end of the year. And yes, I kinda like it, though I intend to change the documentary-ish tone I’ve used in the old posts. :-). I guess I’ve stuck to the mantra – Always have a non-work-related-side-project. And who will laugh like crazy when my friends are all having fun at someone’s dining table? So yeah, I’ve taken a consc...

Tea & Dark Chocolate: September 2013
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Sep 29, 2013. Wise enough to be foolish. By now, its common knowledge that I am wary of books by Indian authors. My dislike for Chetan Bhagat is well documented. T finish Jhumpa Lahiris. I have read only one book by Aravind Adiga and have never even read Amitav Ghosh. Vikram Seth is different, he doesnt get into this league of writers at all! Get yourself some tea and read. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What I write about. Something for the mind.

Tea & Dark Chocolate: India’s daughters
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2015/03/indias-daughters.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Mar 4, 2015. One week ago I had a long conversation with a group, an educated , seemingly sensible group of people, all of them extremely close to me. About how what women wear do not define them. About how even nuns , 6 year old children and 80 year old women get raped. About how women do not invite just because they are out at 9 PM, and how sometimes work might take them out too. I pointed examples of how many men including the sons they’ve raised ...

Tea & Dark Chocolate: Memories…
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2014/11/memories.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Nov 15, 2014. In spite of not being in love with things, I have a couple of them along with my house keys. These are objects belonging to places or people that mean a lot of me. [See the difference? These are about people/places, the above two are just objects :-)]. The Eiffel Tower charm just stayed in my key chain. For 15 long years! Something for the mind. December 4, 2014 at 6:20 AM. Remember me, Preethi? There are loads to talk.mail me sometime :).

Tea & Dark Chocolate: June 2012
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Jun 10, 2012. It only stinks when I have to prioritize. When I have to decide what I want to do over something else I want to do. Its the difference between ‘want to do’ and ‘have to do’ that bugs me, and by what I see around among all the adults I know (those who don’t want to be adults but have to be ), its a problem all of us have. And so, I decided to take a shot at want-to-do when I am more relaxed with my have-to-do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tea & Dark Chocolate: November 2013
http://teandarkchocolate.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Nov 12, 2013. God, I need to backup a bit and go from the beginning. Ive been like this ever since I got back from Greece. You ask me a question, and I start rambling about how nice a holiday it was there. And decided to get in touch with them, when I was ready for a holiday. Get yourself some tea and read.

Tea and Dark Chocolate. That's all that matters. Sep 30, 2014. For years Ive walked past this building, always telling myself that I am going to come back here someday and take up one of their courses. I didn’t know then that this was some kind of a learning institute. The building only evoked a strong feeling of I-HAVE-go-inside-and-sit-here. Get yourself some tea and read. Labels: Not so mundane. Something for the mind. Sep 28, 2014. This review is first posted on my Goodreads profile here. Sep 27, 2014.
