A frankie-turned-kathi-roll challenge…how could I refuse?
I wanted to check out a frankie place in Dubai to blog about (post on that coming soon). When I mentioned it to Vineet ‘Potson’ Pabreja, he scoffed. Oh, how much this man can scoff. He started waxing eloquent about this place in Bur Dubai which has the best rolls “EVAAAAAR”. So off we went … Read more
Pizza and tiramisu in a rustic setting at Red Tomato Pizza
After living in the UK and having excellent Italian food there, and going to the US and gorging on Giordano’s deep dish pizza, I’ve developed a hankering to find good pizza and Italian food in the UAE. One night I had plans for an evening out, which got cancelled (curse you, O ditcher!), and I … Read more
Marriage, autism and doubts
As I sat in the plush chair in a salon in Bombay a few days ago, I nearly started crying. No, the heat of the blow dryer wasn’t too much, neither did the searing hot iron burn my scalp. I was getting my hair done to attend a wedding function that night…and an idle mind … Read more
Book Review: Passion by Lauren Kate

Event roundup: One Night Standup
The doors shut in our face. “You can’t enter right now,” the waitress said. A posh voice said: “Let them in.” And the gateway into the new local comedy night: One Night Standup, was opened to us. The posh voice belonged to Hisham Wyne, whose accent, most of us thought, escalated to a grand scale … Read more
How to make chai
Pic from a tea tweetup at Tea Junction, Dubai, in June 2011 I love tea; I’ve often talked about it. Apart from finding different places across Dubai to have some, I relish making a nice, hot cup of masala chai for myself at home. It started with a tweet, over two years ago when I … Read more
What happens if you fall in love with a writer?
Thanks to @dubaitara for linking to this one…absolutely love it! What happens if you fall in love with a writer? karenfelloutofbedagain: Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you … Read more
