The Unruled Notebook

  I like the letter ‘E’ of all the alphabets. I had umpteen choices of words and great many ideas swimming across my head. I wanted to write about Easter Eggs, Elephants, Eskimos, Emptiness, What not! But something made me shelf all these lovely topics and choose this word Elflock. Guess why?   Picture sourced from Google   This morning, in the shower, I witnessed  Apocalypse !!! Picture sourced from Google. Hair color modified.   This is how my hair looks like after it is completely dry. A Velcro manufacturing unit might approach me to discuss their business prospects; I see a great future ahead of me *Sob* *Sob* Picture sourced from Google I have been trying some hair treatments at home. I smear the magical concoction of coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil which smells more like X - *I don't want to mention it*.

Intuitive Revelation – 7 years ago Usually, I never let strange things get the better of me until that quirky day. An aversion for watches grew and I had developed the habit of checking the time in my mobile. On that day, I was gaily walking towards my college canteen. A bystander stopped me short and asked “What is the time, please?” Quarter past ten! “10:10” I said. After receiving a ‘thanks’, I went on to have a nice and strong coffee.

From Berlin wall to the Black forest, the pictures were so mesmerizing. While I was falling in love with Germany, all over again, I looked up to see the time. Darn! My Java classes must have already begun. The time was 11:11. I realized that after a few mind-numbing seconds as the Java teacher was a real ‘Hitler’!!! Current day I wonder if I belong t...

  I know I have told you enough about the tantrums world throws on a vegetarian; but eating a spoonful of wasabi was just the beginning. Japan is a country I admire for things like perseverance, technology and innovation. One thing about Japan that makes me show a ‘monkey–face’ is food. When I say ‘Japanese Food’, what comes to you mind? When I landed in a foreign country, I had a very open mind , free of inhibitions . My friends were alike which made it all the more fun. We were a ‘foodie-gang’ who never hesitated to travel miles and miles to get a nice cup of coffee and banana bread. The German Bakery was one such. It wasn’t limited to coffee though; we wanted to try that one thing which people go gaga over, that one thing which is so popular around the world – Sushi . I was not certain there is a vegetarian version of Sushi until one of my friends mentioned it. She was so excited to tell me about Sushi and its health benefits and how yummy it tasted. She also ...

I find myself to be ‘Nosy’ at times; in the literal sense of it. Today, when I was sniffing the news column, I found exactly what I wanted to read. No! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about nose jobs!!! It is a rather interesting topic of research and the result suggests that we have 10 different categories of smell . Here goes the latest list according to the pros. The suggestions are mine... Do share yours if they are different !!!
