Of Life and Lurrrve. Saturday, January 31, 2004. For those of you ignorant s.o.b.s who do not know her,Suraiya was an actress cum singer in Pre and pOst independence India. She started singing in the early 1940s and in the period 1948-49 was at her best, with her trio of great hits Badi Bahen, Dillagi and Pyaar Ki jeet, getting Rs. 50.000 per film in those days!

Of Life and Lurrrve. Tuesday, September 14, 2004. Surprise Surprise, two posts in two days. Amazing, it is. I heard, from rather unreliable sources, of a major panga that happened in class X yesterday. There is, evidently, a girl called Ankita in class X. This girl was pushed by a set of people, on whom she then turned a on and abused. These guys then, idiotically, asked her "What's your rate". Miss Miffed then went to Miss Vanita Sehgal, the headmistress. What the hell is wrong with you, woman! As Karan...

Of Life and Lurrrve. Monday, December 21, 2009. No Heading, Just Stories. Much has changed since the last time I blogged, not least my mood. Seven weeks in Delhi have done much to make it better. While I still haven't figured out things, I'm more optimistic than I ever was about life. Not to mention the fact that people, generally, are usually a lot nicer than we give them credit for.

Of Life and Lurrrve. Tuesday, March 30, 2004. Good evening dear reader. How you are? I thought I'd join the rest of the world in giving you a lowdown on my teachers. 1- Mrs Padmavathy Shrinivasan- She has a heart even bigger than her name, which is a thing one would believe to be well-nigh impossible. I went to her house today, and she treated me to fabulous Chinese food. (Unfortunately vegetarian, but what can you expect from an Iyengar? Its going to be a kind of torture outlawed by the Geneva Conventio...

Of Life and Lurrrve. Thursday, November 03, 2011. Lessons I have learnt over the last few weeks:. 1 Kheer is not impossible to make. 2 Despite however much you bitch about the pollution and the firecrackers, Diwali like any other day really hurts. 3 Don't put woollen clothes in a dryer and set it for 'Cotton'. DON'T. The sweater will unravel. 4 I still have it in me- the ability to do an all-nighter. 6 I'm still as interested in the Partition as I ever was. 8 Cooking is fun, yes, but a pain. Laif, laif i...

Of Life and Lurrrve. Monday, February 14, 2011. Laif, laif is to enveiye. Naat is be bore.". This splendid bit of advice comes from the splendidly awful Pakistani film Pindi Wal, which I managed to get hold of. The movie features songs like "Golden Nights" and a Punjabi song which literally translates as "Take out, take out, take out what you think someone else has put in". While the song may have multiple interpretations, the gyrations and contortions of the dancer strongly. Posted by Manav at 4:41 am.

Of Life and Lurrrve. Monday, April 12, 2004. My Blood Boils With Indignation! My Family is a Hindu Rabid Group of Individuals who does not care a fig for the Secular Culture of India! Okay, For those of you who cannot still understand, My Family Is Voting For The BJP! Oh Horrors. The shame of it. The family of the greatest fan of Indira Gandhi voting for the BJP. My mother actually had the supreme audacity of saying that the Congress was responsible for India's woes. Posted by Manav at 9:59 am.

Of Life and Lurrrve. Monday, March 29, 2010. If you say you actually do care, then prove it. Else leave. Easy come, easy go. It's worked out fine earlier. Don't make anyone a priority in your life when you're nothing but an option in theirs". Sigh If only I could learn from the past. Posted by Manav at 9:31 am. Oh man, this is SO resonant :(.

Of Life and Lurrrve. Thursday, August 19, 2010. It's been one of those long hiatuses, again. :). In the intervening period, I've graduated. Yay. Way to go, Manav. I have also been for a wonderful trip to Kashmir. Siddharth's blog has the descriptions, I suggest you read them. A How they have outlived everyone, including (and this is important) people who are six months younger than them, even though they were so 'Dalicate' in their youths. C How they really brought a lot of dowry, and they would like to ...

Of Life and Lurrrve. Saturday, June 08, 2013. Woh Bhooli Dastaan, Lo Phir Yaad Aa Gayi,. Nazar ke saamne, ghata si chha gayi. Kahaan se phir chale aaye, yeh kucch bhatke hue saaye. Yeh kucch bhoole hue naghmein, jo mere pyaar ne gaaye,. Yeh kuchh bicchdi hui yaadein, yeh kucch toote hue sapnen,. Paraaye ho gaye toh kya, kabhi woh bhi to the apne. Na jaane unse kyon milkar, nazar sharma gayi. Re-reading the blog makes me think of this song. Posted by Manav at 2:39 pm. New Delhi, New Delhi, India.
