Mumbai Terror Strike

Mumbai is under terrorist attack once again. This time high profile hotels and restaurants are under fire. Oberoi Hotel, Taj Hotel, and Leopold’s in Colaba have been targeted. There’s news about a hostage situation in the Taj. Reports of shooting in hospitals and some hotels in Juhu are coming even as I’m writing this post. I wonder what Mumbai will wake up to tomorrow morning.


Is the 'common man' now off the terrorist radar??

An unusual thirst!

So I’m at the only South Indian restaurant in a city in Gujarat (yeah! I work there now) waiting for my bisi bele huli anna. My colleague-friend is on the phone and I’m left to my own devices. I take a quick look around at the people engrossed with their food. Bored, I watch the goings-on outside the restaurant. Bang opposite the restaurant is a roadside stall serving Chinese food. What it lacks in ambience, it makes up for in speedy service. A group of people enter the restaurant and occupy the table next to ours. After deliberating on what to order, they start chatting not bothering to keep their voices down. Darn! Where’s my food!! My friend’s still busy with her phone. I focus on mine and work on Feng Shuing (read-uncluttering) my inbox ever bursting its seams with text messages. Food's served now, finally. Suddenly I hear a woman’s voice loud and clear, “I don't know about you, but I cannot resist Cock.” I wheel around to see who is so bold enough to air her sexual preferences in public, just in time to see the woman sip out of her favourite soft drink bottle! And almost deep-throat a spoonful of bisi bele huli anna.
