For the last 23 years the nation has had a holiday on the day I was born (it being India’s Independence Day) and I’m sure for as long as I live in this country it will continue being a holiday on that day.
I’ve always got super excited about my birthday and this year [...]

Rixon came of age on the 1 August. As seems to be the trend his girlfriend planned a ( not so) surprise party for him. She asked Ruth and I to handle the games. This is what we came up with:

Turn Rixon into Roxanne
Rabbit’s nibble
Passing the parcel
Birthday messages for the birthday boy

It’s been two years since I went to Xavier’s on the 31st of July. For each of the 5 years before that, the day was spent in celebrations in college. We used to have holy mass followed by breakfast and some variety entertainment, capped by a gusto performance of the Xavier’s Anthem ” St. Xavier’s You [...]

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Went for the 8;30 mass. I completely switched off during the sermon. Came home quickly as I had to head to Andheri soon after. Made some of the lunch and started off to Ajay’s place. Reached Dadar to realise there were horrible lines so bought CVM coupons instead. Luckily got a fast train immediately and [...]
