Cars are close to my heart, and I was fortunate to be invited for an exclusive preview event for the Tata GenX Nano Easy Shift. The famous Tata hospitality…
Tap Tap Tap – The New World Order
‘OMG, I have a major crisis’, my friend screamed as she rushed into my home. ‘I accidentally stepped on my phone, and it won’t be replaced for a week. I can’t access a single mobile app. How will I survive?’ she moaned as I tried to calm her down. It’s true. Smart phones are an…
Fun Friday Night at Phoenix Market City Pune
Phoenix Market City has to be my favorite mall in Pune. It allows me a glimpse of a past life. And I can literally lose myself window shopping at the various international brands, munching on a pretzel or donut or sipping a cup of gourmet coffee. It has a Starbucks, and now even a Dunkin’…

Pizza Patrol – For Endangered Evenings
Pizza!!! Who doesn’t love pizza? For many people, Italian food starts and ends with pizza. And sometimes, nothing else will hit the spot. Warm crispy bread, gooey stringy cheese, tangy tomato sauce, sweet pineapple, smoky mushrooms, hot jalapenos – I am hungry just thinking about it. We had a big movie night planned last week….

Hallo Moto! – My Smartphone Quest
Hallo Moto, says a metallic voice, and then the music begins. If you have been a Motorola phone user, I bet that music is actually playing in your head right now. It is in mine. I have been enamored with the Moto Razr which was a very ‘hot’ phone when it was introduced around 2005….
