Polyvore is a great blogging tool, that helps you create your own fashion templates. It was very useful checking out Precious style and seeing Marcia’s own creation. She had got the idea, from another favourite blogger of mine A StoryBook Life. Inspired, I made my own doggy fashion template.

If you want to be happy, begin where you are.
Don’t wait for some rapture that’s future and far.
Begin to be joyous, begin to be glad,
And soon you’ll forget that you ever were sad.
If you want to be happy, begin where you are.
Your windows to sunlight and sweetness unbar;
If dark seems the day, light a candle [...]

Regulars to the Arignar Anna Zoological Park will be familiar with a huge, gusty male elephant called Vikram. This post is about when he was a baby. I first met Vikram when he was a six-month old baby at the Vandalur zoo, where I was working as a volunteer. The poor guy had been abandoned [...]

India’s won only three medals in the Beijing Olympics 2008, but our media is painting the town red with celebrations that a new India has emerged in sports. Rubbish!
The only remarkable thing about the whole show was that India despite a population exceeding a billion with around half of them under the age of 25, [...]

She gifted me an elegant bangle, ethnic key chains – a red Rajathani elephant & a locket (I collect key-chains) and an intricate little jewel box. Coming at the end of a hectic day, it sure was a lovely suprise [...]

1)The argumentative journalist: The journalist who believes he shouldn’t stop with asking questions in a press meet. No press meet is complete unless he gets into an argument with the main speaker.
(e.g.) At a press meet, in which late forest brigand Veerappan’s wife Muthulakshmi was protesting against airing a serial on the life of Veerappan [...]
Why so little about journalism?
Posted in Career listings, tagged journalism, sub-editing on August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I posted a couple of stories on sub-editing, my in-office experiences…but generally my blog doesn’t reflect the fact that I’m a journalist. Maybe its because after a whole day at work, I don’t want to bring the same luggage home.
Whatever, the reasons, I have decided to post more here on journalism. So cheers! To my [...]
Looking ahead
