The A to Z List of TV Sitcoms #AtoZChallenge

My theme for the #AtoZChallenge this April is TV Sitcoms.

During the month, I will talk about some wonderful shows that I believe deserve due credit, love and your attention and what makes them tick.
For most alphabets, there will be an abundance of choice and I know many good show will miss out too, but hey - having too many good shows is way better than having none at all, right?

Anyway, I figured it would be better to have a separate post to add all the links alphabetically too for easier acc...

#AtoZChallenge Theme: TV Sitcoms

I see so many fellow bloggers taking up the April A to Z challenge (wherein you blog every day of the month based on a theme and corresponding to the sequential letters of the alphabet). I keep telling myself that this is beyond me. I have never participated before. Barely completed 7 day blog marathons. And this is a whole month!

26 blogs in a month based on the A to Z of a single topic. Do I even know any topic well enough to write 26 articles on it?

As I sat pondering and debating topic...

Surprise! You are worthy of love!

This week's word prompt was: Surprise.A fellow blogger buddy's post came to mind when the train of thought for this post began.Anyway, here goes. Starting my Clock NOW.

Is rape sanskari too, now?

The Minister for Women and Child Development for India, Maneka Gandhi did a U-turn from her own earlier stand and told the Rajya Sabha this week that marital rape cannot be considered a crime in India because of factors like poverty, illiteracy and religion.

Poverty. Illiteracy. Religion. Social customs. Treating marriage as a sacrament.
Things that do not exist in any other part of the world.
Things unique to India alone.

Poverty. Illiteracy. Religion. Social customs. Treating marriage as a sacr...

Everything you Need to Know About the new Batman v Superman Movie Before Entering the Movie Hall

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice releases on the 25th of this month in India.

For those of you who do not know, it is only the most anticipated movie of all time.  You have the two biggest comicbook legends of all time coming together on screen for the first time ever and going head-to-head against each other.
One of the biggest problems many friends have talked about in recent months (since the trailers started releasing) is that they did not know much about this movie.
Sure, they know B...

Recipe - Chettinad Pepper Chicken

Say the words 'Chettinad Cuisine' and instantly the mind conjures up images of spicy food. But the truth is that Chettinad food is so much more than just chillies, of course.
Know Your Cuisine: Chettinad.
Originating from the Chettinad region in Tamil Nadu, the unique feature of this cuisine is the freshly ground, fragrant blend of spices used in the masalas. It is considered to be one of the spiciest flavour profiles in Indian cuisine.While the presentation may often appear simple, the co...

Moments that made me Smile in February

Well, February sure has been fun. Not as wild as January where I was dancing in the streets of the capital city goaded on by a chief minister or having bellinis for breakfast and meeting film directors. And yet, it had its moments.
Mom learning to use her new 'birthday phone' camera and getting this delightful photo of Snoopy pretending to be a ninja and trying to blend into his surroundings. 
So once more, I take up Vidya's Gratitude Circle Blog Hop as well as Mac...

There is no Rhinoceros running behind you #1000Speak

Remove the mask you wear around the public and answer me this - when you are alone with yourself and your thoughts, are you happy? Or do you allow the ghosts of past failures and the spectres of future outcomes to haunt you?

I know my ghosts and spectres constantly visit me. They would keep me up till 3 in the morning and have my heart beating wildly like Clapton on steroids with their 'What ifs'. The simple truth was that the constant worrying has probably already done its damage, shaving awa...

Money, Honey & Unfunny - My Guest articles in Huffington Post & Money View #MondayMusings

A busy fortnight it has been, indeed. 3 articles got published in two different websites, circling around topics as diverse as finances (money), love (honey) & the medical state in India (unfunny).

1 - How I Made a Profit even during Global Recession (Published in Money View) I feel this is really relevant now because almost every stock market analyst who matters warns of an impending global market recession this year. And early on, the signs are already there as we just watched our ow...
