I love them. They smell good, are easy to wash off and do not make tall claims about nourishing my hair, preventing hair fall or removing dandruff. Their sole assignment is to make my hair squeaky clean and that they do well. They come in cute little containers and what’s more – they are complimentary.

I like Kalam – I consider him India’s most non-embarrassing President ever. Highly knowledgeable, no controversies, no scandals, no faux paus, the works.
But I find this huge fuss about Continental Airlines frisking him a little stupid. Bad enough VIPs guzzle taxpayers money and stop the traffic routinely. Should they also pose a security threat? Between [...]

We are rebuilding our house. It’s an ancient two-storied, shelf-less, rodent and termite-ridden relic that might have been named a national heritage building had we not decided to pull it down. How we came to the decision could fill a 400-page book so I keep off that topic.

You see, like you, I too want [...]

All of us know people who demand dowry and kill for it are dreadful monsters. Scum of the earth. Deserving of Agni goodam, Kirumi bhojanam and what not. But why are they also imbeciles?
I mean, why do they always burn the woman knowing fully well they will land up at E3 police station and [...]
