Smart or Smarter

She is sleek. She is stylish. She is sensitive. Just touch her, she is yours. You hold her tight in your hands. You love to flaunt her in public. You enjoy her company. She is intelligent. She enjoys movies, music, and photography. She knows about the world. In her company you never lose your way. She is your darling. She is your sweet heart. Nights after nights you flirt with her. She never complains. She is neither tired of your blabbers nor refuses your playful advances.

No whisper. No whimper. The affair continues. It’s hard for you to breathe without her. She is your priority; let the family wait for you at the dining table. She is bright. She is charming. After all, she doesn’t whine like the lady sharing your bed. Your nights are now dedicated for her. It doesn’t matter that she is drifting you away from your loved ones.

At work, it’s all official. She shares your work station and your work load too. Business and pleasure go hand in hand together. You work. You talk. You giggle. So what, she steals your power of concentration, eats up your precious work hours or pulls down your performance graph. You are hooked to her and your world crumbles without her.

It’s hard to take off your hands from her. You fiddle with her while you are behind the steering wheels. You may crush yourself or others; so what, everything is fair in love. 
 
Catching up with friends over a cup of coffee, it is so passé. She is there to share your messages and joke with your friends. She ensures that no one comes closer to you. She imprisons you with her charismatic maneuvers of light, sound and music.

Don’t think her services are free. Every month she charges a hefty amount. But the bill doesn’t pinch you at all. You are ready to pay more for her. Even at the cost of cutting down other necessary expenses. Your long live-in relationship with her may hamper your health. Do you care?    


Next time before you pick her up, just think once. Who is smarter, you or your smart phone?

Aix-En-Provence Diary

  Where Impressionism exits, Cubism enters. Blue Mediterranean Sea, sandstone Buildings, hilly terrains, and Pinewood forests complete the description of the Provence region of South France. The city Aix-En-Provence offers a lot to artists and painting enthusiasts. Paul Cezanne, the world-renowned impressionist painter, belongs to Aix-En-Provence. He was born and matured as a painter here, worked extensively till his last breath. The landscape and the particular light of province guided his creative journey to the threshold of abstraction. His paintings paved the path for Cubism. The life-size bronze statue of Cezanne facing the well-known La Rotonde fountain at the city centre welcomes every visitor. A quick bus ride takes you to his sunny and quaint studio. Atlelier de Cezanne is on the hill Les Lauves, north of Aix-en Provance. The studio building is in good condition. The first floor has Cezanne's still life objects, furniture, and other personal belongings have been the palace...

Ordinary Museum. Extraordinary Experience.

Croydon then Museums are one of the entertaining ways to know a new city or a neighbourhood and especially for those who are a newcomer. Well-known museums have varied and rare attractions to put their visitors in awe. But at times, even tiny ones instore surprises for their viewers. Croydon, one of the boroughs of outer London has its museum, conspicuously located in the arts facilities of the clocktower building in Central Croydon. Even though it is small, its collections date back to the Roman era. As you enter its display room, it is hard to miss out on two illustrations made by the first Noble Laureate from India. For a moment, I felt those paintings were surreal; Rabindranath Tagore would not have visited Croydon, of all places, in his visits to England. Soon, the note on the wall from the museum authority settled the whirlwind of queries in my head. The message says a gentleman, Ronald Newson, of Norbury, worked with Rabindranath Tagore in Shantiniketan, a university he founded....

French Onion Soup

-
  East or West. Where lies the acquired taste?   Soups are always exotic, and their fumes emit a nostalgic colonial English aura for people living in small towns in India. Even though, in recent years, ready-to-slurp soup sachets have flooded the markets, middle-class homemakers have placed them along with their spice boxes without any hesitation. Yet, a hot cup of soup still transports Indians to the cloudy, hilly terrains of the far-off European countryside.    In traditional English cuisine, carrots, peas, mushrooms, leeks, chicken, or beef broths seasoned with condiments are cooked in low flames for hours under the strict supervision of the chef. The broth gets cooked till it thickens to get the perfect consistency of soup and served with dollops of heavy cream. It is an ideal appetizer and cosy delicacy to make the chilly evenings comfortable. Soups have always been part and parcel of English supper, and people instinctively like the dish. When elderly...
