Having celebrated Christmas in both London & Mumbai in the past, I can vouch for it being a completely different experience: Christmas in London: Outside is freezing cold & I spend my day huddled around the mini heater at home We exchange token presents because it’s hard not to get into the spirit The whole …
For the last 10 days, I have been experiencing a funky pain on my right leg. It started off on my shin which I assumed was shin splints. It’s now progressed to my right ankle and any kind of high-impact exercise highlights the pain more. I initially tried to run through the pain but it …
Even though Christmas is only 3 days away, my family and I don’t celebrate the holiday per say as we are Hindu. However I did suggest my immediate family and I exchange presents just for the novelty factor. Nonetheless my email went ignored and confirmed I am related to a bunch of Grinches ;)! That …

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while but I’ve been just been too lazy…which is ironic given the nature of the topic ;)! After a 10-hour sleep last night, I woke up this morning ready to get in some kind of work out. I wanted to take it easy as I’m still …
Although I’ve blogged about a few eating spots in Mumbai like the creperie Suzette or fine-dining restaurant The Table, I am yet to blog about one of my all-time favorites: Indigo Deli. Don’t be fooled by the name: although they do retail cold cuts & cheeses from around the world, salads and freshly baked breads, …
