Postcard from Abu Dhabi

-
Oh, look what arrived in my mailbox yesterday. From one of my favourite-st gals, all the way from Abu Dhabi... (after I pestered her to send me a postcard of course).


Thanks, Lo! I hope to see you this December despite our crazy schedules.

 Ta!

postcard from j: kuch sawaal

To wonder is not just the domain of a wide-eyed child, right? Here are some questions that I've been contemplating upon: * Why is Tanisha dressed like a slut in that candyfloss of a movie ? And why is she still being referred to as Kajol's kid sister? * Were the semi-finals of Nach Baliye rigged? How can Varun forget his steps? Why did they have the judges voting ONLY today? * Why is Abhishek Bachchan getting hotter by the day? [Get THE video here .] * When is the Big B going to be back on his feet? And will he still endorse Chyawanprash and Hajmola? * Is Anjalli Gupta guilty or will she be another victim of the system? * What the hell is going on in the Indian Parliament, BCCI and in Saurav Ganguly's brain? * Will India beat Sri Lanka in the upcoming second Test? Aur Sehwag ka kya hoga?

Candy Chillar

This is beginning to annoy me a great deal... The guys who collect toll money at the Aarey Check Naka (off Western Express Highway, Goregaon East) have started dispensing candy when they are short by one rupee in change. The toll for rickshaws entering the colony is Rs. 7. So if you give the chap a tenner, you will get back a receipt with a two-rupee coin and a Parle Melody (a childhood favourite, by the way). While this business of giving candy instead of chillar (change) is a common practice (at least) in Bombay's mom-and-pop stores, why do I feel cheated when the toll guys do it? ~j~

Thaali in a gif-fy

One of my favourite food places in Pune, Janseva Bhojanalaya near Deccan Gymkhana, does a very delicious unlimited almost-Maharashtrian thaali . It's mindboggling, really. So instead of just posting multiple photos, I experimented with a little something . Hope you like it. When I ate there in May 2012, the thaali was priced at Rs. 130. This time around (November 2013), it was Rs. 250. WHOA!!! But still totally worth it. ~j~
