A Quickie!

In case anyone's been browsing through my blog these past few weeks and wondering why I haven't blogged for a while...it's cos I am away in India for a 3 week holiday. First stop was Chennai - I enjoyed my 3 day stay there. Loved going on the auto...the drivers are so fast and yet accurate. I wish...

Tricky time!

Time hasn't been much of a friend to me these few days. In fact, these few weeks, it seems to be trying to hide from me. Hiding behind thick luscious bushes, peeking at me from time to time.

Of Facebook and Reality

A friend expressed concern that I was getting addicted to Facebook. He said that I shouldn't get too involved, express myself on the highly addictive website.

Chak De

So I finally watched Chak De yesterday evening. It was as good as I expected it to be,perhaps even better than expected. There were no dance scenes or too much drama.
