My Passport is expiring in September 2010. In April 2010, I went to the Bangalore One Center at J P Nagar to apply for renewal of Passport. Since the original passport was not issued from Bangalore, passport renewal requires a police verification. Bangalore One Center was really very good and…

Nice feeling, indeed 🙂 Sid’s school reopened today. No more planning how to keep him busy. No more of the constant noise in the house. No more of the constant tantrums. Gautam’s school had reopened last week, and his usual timings are till noon. That still gives me so many…

Sid and Gautam are back home and barring one unpleasant incident, they had a great time away from home. We also managed to pack in quite a bit within a week, when they were away. A visit to a pub (long time due), a client visit, lots of cooking together,…

There is hardly anything left to say about the man. Have you noticed how people just take off eulogizing about his skills, the moment even his picture appears on the screen. My husband is truly fed up of all the sycophantic honey-sweet utterings about this man. I would give credit…
