Dear Friends, And Like-minded Souls
This space is mine. I am more than ready to share it with like-minded people. Be warned though, the contents here will reflect my choices and my biases. Which means zero tolerance for religious bigots, fascists, human rights violators, corrupt politicians, pompous bureaucrats, journalists who take themselves too seriously, autocratic cricket administrators (not necessarily in that order). Also means while I have never been particularly enamoured of the Right, I can't stand the Indian Left doublespeak either. And at some point in the near future, I might put up a picture of Greg Chapell and organise a dart-throwing competition. In this blogspace, possibly there will be more words written on Murighonto and Butter Chicken than say Shahi Paneer and Navaratan Korma. On regular days here, Bachchan will prevail over Bach, Ritwik over Ray, vodka over gin, sea over land, Port Blair over Port of Pain, oops, Spain, cricket over soccer and Katrina Kaif over, well, almost anyobdy else.

Looks like Cinque island. Whatever name correctly fits the picture, its adjectives should be breathtaking, pristine...
I've written and published a book of short stories entitled "The Remix of Orchid" wherein all the 21 stories are set in the Andamans. With a heart-warming foreword from Mr Ruskin Bond, the book has gained popularity since it was released in May 2007 by His Excellency the Governor of Orissa. Recently it has brought me an accolade, the State Level Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Award for being the popular autor. More about the book at my blog http://remixoforchid.blogspot.com
Thanks
Nanda
