I was nine when I first learnt swimming. Well, nothing really one should boast about, but then I remember the day so well that I can’t help but bring in reflections of that day here. My magenta pink swimsuit, the matching swim cap and those bright hues in shades of sky blue and baby pink swimming tube without which we would never enter the pool.

I have great memories of playing wonderful set of indoor games with my long lost girlfriend A at her place.

Have you ever had a never fail recipe? I do! One of my embarrassing moments dates back to days when D invited one of his close friend home for dinner whom I was being introduced for the first time. Cooking was done to the best, Phulkas, Pulao, Palak Paneer, Lauki Kofta, Salads, etc. I did not leave any stone upturned for compliments, as if I was prepared for it! His friend hailing from ...
