Jet Airways: What not to do
Oct 16th
Jet airways has let go of 1500 employees. Due to the wonderful manner in which they were let go, they all grouped up and begin to plead for political intervention. Quite rightly they appealed to the politicians for help. Their case, regrettably, does not seem to have any legal standing. They were employees under probation and therefore their contracts allow Jet to fire them if and when it pleases. Nobody forced them to sign the contract. They did it of their own free will. I have little problem with the fact that they were let go, the company has a More >

Our Daman Trip
Sep 9th
For the past four years we were planning to visit Daman, where my brother-in-law has a guest-house of his company and where we were assured of a red-carpet welcome. However, something or the other always interfered with our plans.
Somehow, we were able to thwart the designs of those interfering Fates this year and just about managed to visit Daman after only one cancellation.
I believe as we were going there for ‘Ganpati’, the ‘trouble-shooter’ God (Vighnaharta) removed all the obstacles from our path and made it happen.
Thus 2nd September found us winging (no, this can’t be the correct word. It must More >

Shimla-Not a hill station anymore!!
Sep 3rd
Looks like global warming is taking a toll big time. Places like manali and shimla that once used to be the summer capital of the country is going hot. And i’m taling of the weather there. The cold air of shimla seems to have vanished into thin air (pun intended). I went for a short stay in Shimla around June this year. Boy was i surprised at the heat building up. And would you look at the helplessness of the hotels there? The rooms didnt have an air-conditioning unit! And i’m talking about 3-4 star hotels here. Not even a More >

Mylapore Memories – I
Aug 27th
Most of us travel a lot. We might have lived in many places, some for a longer period, and some just for short spells. But very few places lodge themselves deep in a sweet niche in your heart, evoking a vibe in you whenever the name crops up. Mylapore has been one such place for me. But the images I carry in my heart, may no longer be tenable, in this changing world. Nevertheless, I like to live in that old world charm.
Amongst our own bloggers, we have a number of them who have a fair affinity to Mylapore – More >
A GIFT FROM LAKES.
Aug 21st
It has been a long and tiring journey in the coach and my legs were cramped. It was a relief to leave the vehicle and stretch my body. It was refreshing to breathe again the cool mountain air.
Though the main part of my journey was finished, I still had to cover another few miles, by a mini mountain vehicle, which was not due till about two hours hence, as this kind of service, was sparse, due to lack of regular passengers. I decided to walk through the coach station and then on to the town, to pass away those tedious More >
