Hella folks! How have you all been? Today's post has been festering on my browser as a tab for three days now. I just can't seem to come around to finishing it. I even considered just ditching this post altogether. But then, what of my word? All the hoo haa about what was to come... Continue Reading →
Let's get straight to "The Ten Questions"... 1.How/Why/Where did you buy the book? The book has been lying in my Flipkart ebook library for a while now. Timeout Dubai dubs this book as the "UAE's answer to Desperate Housewives". I read about it, more than a year ago; at some random Dubai based... Continue Reading →
Hella Folks! It's been a while since I did a book review. Not that I haven't been reading. Quite the opposite actually.I just don't seem to get a moment to sit down, fire up Mr Lappy, click cutesy pictures, copy excerpts from the book and then give my not-so-worthy two cents on the book! Are... Continue Reading →
Doha and Bangalore are both heading toward winter. The Bangalore of yore (when I was still in tights and pinafores!) was pretty chilly. Not any more. Winter's now are barely cool. Chilly for a few days and then pleasantly cool thereafter. Doha surprisingly is colder. Last year, I spent half my winter in Doha and... Continue Reading →

After the pseudo- poetic rant by Mr H, J feels obliged to explain her position. Her technological loyalties lay nowhere. She wishes to try all and is partial to none. They all have something unique to offer. She is not prone to selection by peer pressure alone. Nor does hype and hoopla influence her much.... Continue Reading →
Eons ago, she said she wanted a "big" phone. I nodded. She said she hated bulky, hard-to- maneuver devices. I concurred. She wanted a small, nifty mobile. I encouraged. She craved a flip phone. I "hmmmm-ed". She was"done" with touchscreens, when the whole world was gaga over it. I appreciated the novel and unique thinking.... Continue Reading →
A few lovely folks have been leaving private messages on Facebook asking about the difference in vaccination schedules- India versus Qatar. I personally had some trouble early on, when I came home for a vacation in April. Lil Z was 6 weeks old. She would remain here for over a month, and would miss getting... Continue Reading →
It's late folks. And it's been a long, hard day. There's so much to be done. I feel like I am chasing the clock. And the clock is whupping my sorry arse! On the phone front... I have been tirelessly reading phone reviews, watching "this-versus-that" videos on YouTube. I have have scoured mobile showrooms and... Continue Reading →
Morning Folks! This blog is finally going to be true to it's name. Shuttling between two countries. And two fantastically vibrant and diverse cities. One, an already bustling, crazy metropolis. The other, just getting there. The best and worst of both. So much to come folks... So much... Let's start with this morning. Here. And.... Continue Reading →
