A JOURNEY CALLED LIFE

To start with I am an avid book lover but not a voracious reader. I know that sounds contradictory but my life does not permit me to sink with a book often. So when I get something to read, I devour it instantly! Last year a lot of hoopla was created in the game of blogs conducted by Blogadda. So when their labour of love hit the stands, I could not wait to grab it! I went to seventh heaven when I got this book and immediately wanted to review it! 6 Degrees, game of Blogs is not just any ordinary book. It is a collaborative work of thirty bloggers. Yes you heard it right. All the participants were divided into ten teams having ten bloggers in each team. All the bloggers were given five characters with a description. Each team had to weave a story revolving around those characters. The top three stories have been published in this book game of Blogs. Hence 6 degrees is a compendium of three absolutely different story lines, with the same set of characters. Isn...

Sharing the load... I have been brought up like a typical male child. I know, this is 21st century and I hate to admit it; but its the truth. I am the youngest in the house, I have an overtly loving elder sister and my parents are overtly pampering and protective. Therefore I have never been scolded, forget helping my mother with the household chores! My father on the other hand I would say is very progressive. I have always seen him helping my mom in the house...whether be it in the kitchen, garden or anywhere. He always said that work is not gender specific; if my mom can go out to work then why can't my Dad help with the housework? Unfortunately these valuable attributes did not get instilled in me. My parents never forced anything on me because they thought once I would start staying in hostel, I would change. They were wrong. I was sixteen and a half when I joined King George Medical College. And to my sheer luck, the amenities there are unimaginable. The cooks t...

When it comes to driving, its a no brainer that I just love it. I mean which guy (adventure seeking) does not? I learnt riding my own two wheeler when I was very young. I learnt driving during my high school. The addiction of a four wheeler is too much. The comfort and safety of a four wheeler made me forgot my two wheeler absolutely. Since then I have owned and driven many cars. Now my love for travel blogging has infused the love for road trips in me. Now I want to buy a car that is perfect for long drives. I just came across the new Datsun redi Go which seems simply perfect. My wife's birthday is just round the corner. I am planning a trip to Landsowne. Nestled in the lap of Himalayas, it a seven hour road trip from Delhi. And I feel the Datsun redi Go would be my perfect companion. It is a unique fusion of compact crossover and urban hatchback, offering the best of both worlds. The features which make me feel so are: Best in Class Ground Clea...

When people look at me, they can't even remotely decipher that my father is over six feet tall. Yes I am an example of a short stature son of a tall father. And I blame that to my faulty nutrition. I was such a picky eater that I did not get the required nutrition. Now that I am Dad and my daughter is grossly underweight and a picky eater too, I am scared as hell about her growth and nutrition. Undernutrition does not necessarily happen in the downtrodden alone. The affluent class is equally prone to malnutrition. As my two year old daughter is highly underweight, I am worried as hell. I don't want history repeating. Catching up with my Blogger friends... Its been really long that we had an Indiblogger meet in Delhi. Everyday I would open up the site with great hopes only to see meets elsewhere. Sometimes in Bangalore, Mumbai or Kolkata even but not Delhi. One fine day I saw something vey promising in my inbox. It was a Horlicks Indiblogger Meet in Delhi and...
