Wednesday, 28 May 2014. How crochet saved my life and other stories of mental health. Recently, a flight attendant had a job offer withdrawn by Emirates when they found out she had once been treated for depression. 1 The person who tells the story feels, I think, better, in varying degrees. 2 Some lonely old soul, ill herself, might find hope in the fact that there is another one like her, and that help is possible. My self-worth, my sense of how dispensable I was, sense of having done nothing. One of th...

The Power of 32. But 32 is no ordinary number that it does not have the power to achieve this herculean task. Look at it mathematically, for instance. It is the number that displays few astonishing properties that qualifies it to be bestowed with amazing capabilities. Along with being a number that can be represented as an exponential of 2, which is 2. 32, the number can also be expressed as the sum of three different numbers raised to the power of the number itself, that is 1. Oh what a contrast! As the...

Chess is a game that is played in over a hundred countries of the world and if at all there is an Indian sports personality who is recognised and admired the world over, it undoubtedly is Vishwanathan Anand. But for a country that hardly acknowledges any sport other than cricket, a game played in about twelve countries (and that includes Canada and Netherlands! Entry filed under: National.

Archive for February, 2013. The white telephone in our home stayed with us for over twenty years and each time it went out of order, it was promptly repaired, polished and re-instated. But in the last ten odd years, I would have changed my mobile at least half-a-dozen times and still I am seen as very conservative. My servant has the latest version of the touch-screen iphone while I still fiddle with the buttons to make calls! February 26, 2013 at 4:22 pm. A day without the internet. The Power of 32.

A day without the internet. June 22, 2012 at 9:11 pm. And when the internet connection at home was not working one Sunday morning, I thought my deep longing for freedom from the virtual world was about to be realised. But by the end of the day, I was in total disarray and disoriented with the lives around me that the very thought of another day without internet access sent shivers down my spine. Because on that fatal Sunday, I could not do the following:. 1 The customary Sunday Skype chat. Nice blog nara...

To my fellow Delhi brethren. November 10, 2011 at 4:24 pm. My Dear fellow Delhiite,. What prompted me to write this is this , ( http:/ raagshahana.blogspot.com/2011/09/open-letter-to-delhi-boy.html.

May 23, 2012 at 11:45 pm. This contracted thinking among the elite class betrays a mindset that revels on the status of exclusivity and believes that class destinations are their birth right and therefore need to be guarded zealously.

Vivify: The Silent Raga by Ameen Merchant
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2008/06/silent-raga.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Sunday, June 22, 2008. The Silent Raga by Ameen Merchant. A tale of two sisters, bonded by love, divided in hate and reunited; a plot oft heard and repeated. But Merchant has a way of gripping the reader. His narrative flows, between years, events, past and present unfolding the story of love, betrayal and renewal of faith like the strains of a raga, smooth and melodious. Set in the Tamil Nadu of the eighties and nineties, the story illustra...
