Stories Boarding Passes Tell
I have come to realize over time that I collect items of little or no monetary value and place them without a passing thought in random places and forget about them, until something happens to trigger a chain of thoughts, which is what this blog post essentially comprises of. For instance, my wallet contains a ticket stub for the second day of [...]
Settling in Blues
Its been a while since I have blogged. After the funny incident involving the cops at the Jor Bagh metro station, things have been busy and hectic. With trips to Kerala, Mysore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and then to Israel, interspersed in between with work, I've not really had much time to do anything of note. In addition, I was asked to shift out of [...]
Autobiography of a Suitcase
Hello everyone! I am Hari’s suitcase and I have decided to tell you my story. It is quite unusual, I concede, for a suitcase to be blogging, but stranger things have happened, including the time that Hari was suspected by the Shin Bet at Ben Gurion international airport as being a potential flight threat, but that tale is for another [...]
Conspicuous Consumption Goodbye
When I was much younger, I was told of how North India is culturally different from where I was born and raised. I paid little heed to these words, simply because it was of no consequence to me. I had spent a third of my life in South India and it made little sense for me to deeply analyze something that I felt had no direct impact on my way of [...]

When things settled in and I began discovering, exploring and understanding Bangalore, and eventually falling in love with the [...]

There are many reasons why one would like to travel to a particular place. I can’t say for sure what motivates other people, but I am inspired to visit places that are on the cooler side (temperature-wise), that have rich history and culture, aren’t particularly crowded or over-run by the average ignoramus camera-toting, loud-mouthed [...]
Where the Hell is Matt?
I am extremely jealous of Matt Harding, but not in a bad way. He's been to 42 different countries and has been sponsored by Visa to make an advertisement by travelling all over the world just to do that dance of his. I can dance like that. I am undeniably goofier. But alas, he gets to put all the travel. Such is life. I will have to resort to [...]
Notes About Nothing – 18/03/2009
The last time I did this series of bloglets was when I was inspired by Purely Narcotic's LJ to write about stuff that took hardly more than two hundred words to pen down. By itself, it wouldn't make for a post, given my verbose nature of posting, and clumping a few of them together seemed to make more sense. This series of posts comprises [...]
