Today is

If there is one piece of advice you want, then this be it – don’t ever order anything from Planet M’s website. I have ordered stuff from there thrice. Each time, there was complete silence from them for several weeks. Then I write in to complain, and then they send me a note that the [...]

OK, Honey The Cat and her family have been located – safely housed in a dry storm drain close by. As long as it doesn’t rain, they should be safe there. Honey comes in regular as a clockwork to feed, then disappears into the drain again. Went to office this morning, but crawled back home [...]

Sunday morning, up with the lark I think I’ll take a walk in the park…. Bah. Why would anyone get up early on a Sunday, let alone go for a walk? These song writers really need to get a reality check. No news on the cat and her brood. She comes in regular as a [...]

Well, the big news is that yesterday, Honey the (very pregnant) Cat disappeared, only to return this morning looking considerably slimmer. Sometime during last night, she delivered her kittens. Now the problems are: We don’t know where the kittens are She isn’t showing us Shubha and Anjali were running the whole morning through behind Honey, [...]

Well, the week is almost over. Mrinal dropped in yesterday so that I could disassemble his guitar – Sony and Shanu are taking the cracked tremolo arm part with them to Chennai tonight to try and get a replacement. Had a hilarious time trying to play Eric Clapton’s “Layla” without slipping from the original to [...]

Hmmm, these past few days have been … let us say … interesting. Last week, I had to reset my Palm Vx, and then entered a date one day behind – causing all my alarms to go off one day late. Normally this does not matter, since I have daily alarms for TV shows such [...]

Really sleepy day. Nothing at all achieved. Our secretary Rashmi got engaged today, so we got to answer the phones. And to top it, half the company was out on work at client sites. At lunchtime, I found myself all alone in the office! OK, so maybe I would be able to get some work [...]

Stayed at home all day – in a sort of depressed mood. Must be the weather, or the static electricity that seems to be zapping me from all corners. Didn’t even read email! Shubha has been bugging me all day wanting to show me ideas for the house. But I think I am not yet [...]

Groan! Groan, groan! I am soooooooooo hungover! And I don’t even drink! Last night, we had a little party at home to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and my birthday. Just a few friends. Hmmmmm…. By the time we were rolling, we had something like 50+ people crawling over our lawn! We decided to invite [...]
