Sometimes, when you read an novel, you come across a described incident which you know just has to be true, because even the most inventive author could not make it up.
I will now describe an encounter I had on a five hour bus trip over the weekend. It was a fairly full bus to begin with and I...

I just came back from a quick trip this past weekend to celebrate my paternal aunt's 80th birthday. I was able to spend time with extended family, seeing some for the first time in thirteen years.
We all lamented how far-flung we have become over the past sixty years. Growing up, my parent's...

I asked that a satchel be prepared with all that I would need
The air was thick... like a...

Friday Evening
Well, we finally made it. Several things happened to culminate in a little bit of frustration for me before finally making it here.
1) Ending up leaving an hour later than I originally planned.
2) Had to stop midway through to eat and go to the bathroom. This added on an extra 30...

It's not life what you're going through. It's not life until you have done what I have done today, not if you weren't with us today when life happened, and not if you've never had a Malai Gola.
A Malai Gola is not whatever you think it is. It's more. So much more that it's just not real life. Your...
