Sounds of the IndieGround: Bondage, Human Bondage September 10, 2013 It was the late seventies in India, and much like a rolling stone, the rock movement in the country was swiftly gathering momentum. A young teenage girl by the name of Radha Thomas was about to see her wildest fantasy become a reality – little did she […]
Driving Miss Daisy
You may not see Daisy (the Princess of Milton Street) poking around the park as much as you once did. Or sniffing the streets for that matter. Things are looking up for our velvety-smooth, black, brown and white doggie with the beautiful eyes. Why, you wonder? Have her mommy and daddy moved? Near some […]
The book is hilarious…
24 Jan 2012 – Ashreya Mom When I started reading the book, I got reminded of Mohabatein movie.. strict boys educational institute, you need to cross so many hurdles if need to love or find a partner. Here it’s a girls school. Then there is a arrangement for interaction between the girls and boys school, […]
Men On My Mind – Book Review
http://obsessivemom.blogspot.in/ I love debut novels. They’re special. They have to be. After all they’ve remained in the author’s mind long enough and persistently enough to egg her/him to get down to writing them, right? Of course there have been times when I’ve got stuck with really bad apples – incorrect English, the hugest turn off, […]
Paosei, a Bangalore treasure
Bhagya, our resident gourmet chef, mood-lifter, angst buster and housekeeper all rolled into one is still ill. It’s been five days now, and things are falling apart. Besides bringing in the newspaper in the morning (on crutches), I now have to make my own tea. I also have to count the number of clothes sent […]
Still Eleven Months To Christmas
Come the fifteenth of December, there are aromas that waft downhill on, I kid you not, High Street. It’s in a lovely tree-lined, park-filled secret neighbourhood in Bangalore where people can freely take their nightly constitutional, in short-shorts (men or women), at 10 pm, without fear of reprisal. It could be on account of the […]
Kangaro’s cat and mouse games
It’s confounding. It’s frustrating. It’s wasteful. It’s meaningless. And if you’re not from around here, (India that is) you’re probably howling in pain each time the sharp end of one of them sticks you in the finger. No one’s bothered to explain the mystery to you? No problem. I take it upon myself to unravel […]
My life will be insipid without…
By Ayesha Tabassum, Bangalore Mirror, 9 Jan 2013 Author Radha Thomas, who recently released her book Men On My Mind, is known for her quick wit and intelligent sense of humour. So when we asked her to pick the books that changed her life, we had a plateful. She says, “Printed books were very important […]
How Many Ramjees Are There In Bangalore?
We usually don’t go out to eat mid-week. It’s too tiring. There’s too much traffic and it’s not possible to get up on time the next morning if you’re scarfing the good stuff all night long. But last night, there was nothing to eat at home. No pasta. No pizza. No warm bread with garlic […]
Hello! India, meet your very own Bridget Jones
By Laxmi Hariharan 22 December 2012 “Beware of bad kissers; they might be plagiarists too.” Just one of the home truths you stumble across in the extremely witty, honest-to-earth sexy and very cleverly written Men on My Mind by Radha Thomas. In fact I am convinced that Radha, actually meant for the book to be titled […]
