Thanks for dropping by.
I started this blog in 2007 just for fun. Along the way I fell in love with blogging and much to my own amazement rolled into the fourth year! The love and appreciation showered by my readers have encouraged me tremendously. All in all so far it has been a pretty eventful journey.
Right now I have started another journey. We have shifted from Oxford to London. So you will read a lot about our London explorations and my new found cooking obsession.
I am a Bengali Indian, and a complete desi at heart. So no matter in whichever part of the world I am, India always focuses very strongly in my writings.
Due to my academic and work background I tend to deal with/write mostly about serious stuff. This does get draining so I have promised myself that in this blog I will write about the inconsequential, the funny and the not so important. This is a space where I want to laugh and cry with equal ease. It would give me great pleasure if you accompany me in my blog journey.
The blog header is designed by my husband.
Ever so affectionately,
Suchi
P.S.Some
* I am a human rights activist and a feminist...
*I am also becoming aware and involved in the environment movement...I have started small with recycling our household goods, aiming to make our existence completely plastic free and reducing harmful chemicals in the coming years and reducing our ecological footprints.
* Am also a keen supporter of organically, locally grown produce and the fairtrade/ ethical trading movement!
* My career is in International Development...
* I dropped out of Ph.D., but managed to finish M.Phil in International Studies...
* I was born and brought up in a joint family in Kolkata and then moved to New Delhi for my studies and ever since been roaming the world...
Now for some unholy truths and weaknesses--
*I talk in my sleep...
*My first crush was a monkey...
*My snub nose is the result of a double decker bus running over it...
**I was a pain to my mom while growing up...
***Like that advertisement I think my daddy is the strongest and the best...
**I have a younger brother whom I love to boss...
****I am married, though not smugly so...
*I used to flunk maths and science througout school...
**A good book can make me ignore an earthquake...
*I get bored very easily and when bored I can be rather cranky and mad...
**I am a clean freak much to the horror of my husband...
*** Am a big foodie and lately I have taken to cooking, mostly experimenting...
** My uniform--hand weaved Indian cotton clothes, silver jewelery and a dash of kohl...
****I adore handicrafts and arts from all over the world...
* I have a soft corner for Channel perfumes...
** Setting up home with my husband is super fun...
*I like travelling and living in new countries and cities...in the last eight years lived in five cities spread over three countries in three continents :)Now isn't that something?
On the whole I can be labelled as a bundle of contradictions. I change with times and circumstances...generally a cheerful and friendly person, but can be quiet bitchy and snobbish at times,...not very vindictive...rather foolish and gullible, hopelessly romantic and naively optimistic...have several hobbies, am happy being on my own as well as with others...like to think of myself as a mature, practical and independent woman...!
