It's so cold in Mumbai, yesterday's laundry is still damp! No space on the clothesline for today's wash! 😒 Sigh! Domestic goddessness, if there is such a thing, eludes me!

He was a fine journalist and writer, but the best things about Rauf Ahmed were his charm and informality Even the juniormost in his team called him by his first name. Everyone who worked with him was treated like family and those bonds never fray.

Got this sweet handwritten note in the package of something ordered from Amazon. Shall I give them a 5, at least for clear writing?

You meet people at coffee shops...this one gave up caffeine, that one won't eat carbs or fats, another gave up sugar and salt. You can't be the only one having coffee and cake... Maybe cafés should start charging for table occupancy!

Maybe the Academy should introduce an award for choreography. The hidden star of Naatu Naatu is the one who came up with those crazy steps.

Could crime book fans recommend some writers like Ed McBain and Michael Connelly? Voracious mom has read all their books (55+23)!

There was a time we had to wait a decade to get an MTNL connection. I held on to my precious landline for as long as I could. But when the line was more dead than alive, I finally went to the telephone exchange today and surrendered the number. Still felt like the end of an era.

Height of summer heat and humidity and #AdaniElectricity bent on making us suffer. Several hours and no sign of power being restored.

After almost a decade, reverted to a local train commute to and from South Mumbai...or would have spent 5 hours on the road.

The most inefficient and shameless company I have come across in recent times is #DTDC. A package booked on Oct 21 has still not been delivered. They don't respond to mails, the customer care helpline is clueless. No accountability!

The way James Lee Burke writes about Louisiana and New Orleans make me wish to go there once before I die. Maybe it's about time to start climbing the US visa mountain.

Almost every time I go to my branch of Union Bank, my BP shoots up and I get hives. The sheer inefficiency and contempt for the customer is astounding! The system, not the staff, who always try to be helpful.

@timesfindia... ordered on April 7, the front page as gift for a friend's birthday. No sign of it, and no way to track it. No contact details on the invoice. The birthday has come and gone. Is it a scam or what?
