This is a first ever. A review on SloWord. A review of a movie. So lets get started. With some preliminary chatter in this Part 1 of The Great New World of Reviews. On a Friday evening in September, with the eminently unwelcome autumn imminent, I arrived at Streetsville GO…Continue reading→

In Chronological Order
All-time Fantasy Grammys
So the Grammy’s were on the other day. I did not watch. I find they refuse to nominate me or give me awards. Clearly this is discrimination against the talentless unknowns. As Supreme Peon and Idiotic Twit (SPIT) of the Council for Recognition of Atonal Performers (CRAP), I therefore called…Continue reading→
The Great Festive Okra Recipe
Introduction to Okra A very dear friend, who really should have known better, asked me for an okra recipe, because I’m the greatest bhindi (or okra) lover she knows, she says. She’s having guests over next weekend and rashly decided to make bhindi (aka okra) and recklessly appealed to me…Continue reading→
A Couple of Choices – Vote
I’m still here. Been busy as a bee. And I need your help. But before we get to that… we have to digress a bit. <Digression Alert: But why are bees always represented as being busy? Why not busy as an ant? Have you ever seen an ant lying around…Continue reading→

Zero to Six in Five and a Bit Minutes.
You already know that I was born. “Well, duh!”, you say, “how else would you be writing this rubbish?” Yes, your head is screwed on right and all those wires and things are mostly connected right. However, the mere fact that you’re still continuing to read this means that all…Continue reading→
Tarun and Kavita
When Tarun announced he was getting married, we were living in Lake Gardens, in the flat made famous by The Cantankerous Cat. This was the ground floor apartment where we dealt with Nosy Neighbours, Peeping Toms and performed Midnight Cooking Rituals to the consternation of our neighbours. Yes, that one….Continue reading→
My ( final) Thoughts on Elections 2016
Thank the American God it’s over. What we have now is One Nation Under God. It says so, right there, see? United States. United. Capital U. How can it be anything but united? Small u. Four years ago, I wrote an article about the US Elections. I said racism had…Continue reading→
A Post About ME
I started off by writing a major told-you-so post about #Trump and #Elections2016. Wanna read what I wrote? Head over to the bottom of this post. I’ll put it there in italics. Not that it matters. We can only look ahead now. No use, as no one in my family…Continue reading→
