This week’s Monday Mumble has been kind of stuck due to a technical problem. The Idea: I have set up a MumbaiTraffic twitter channel to which people send in updates based on their traffic experiences.

If memory serves me right it was Priya who started the whole idea of doing a photo drive of the Worli-Bandra sealink. Of course the long weekend was held responsible for her absence and ultimately the 6 twitter buddies (Aalaap, Anupam (bombayaddict), Preshit, Asfaq, Brajeshwar and me) braved the Sunday morning sun to accomplish the [...]

Rude food – the collected food writings of Vir Sanghvi. Picked this one at the Oxford bookstore sale a few weeks back. It’s going to be a different read from the usual strategy, business management and marketing/advertising fundas. He is known to be a big foodie and I hope his writings helps me do better [...]
