VERVE: Sugar and Spice - Vish Dhamija
http://vishdhamija.blogspot.com/2010/08/sugar-and-spice-vish-dhamija.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. Sugar and Spice - Vish Dhamija. It's not sugar. And, it's not spice. I call them sugar n' spice because the only flavours my tastebuds can discern remind me of how basic I am. My sense of gustation can, still, only recognise elementary tastes - sweet, bitter, sour, salty and spicy. Fine Oak" 10 year old (. Like all single malts, all you need is a good glass. To enjoy it. No water. No rocks. No soda. No mixer. A word of caution: please enjoy responsibly, :-). August 15, 2010.

Thursday, May 21, 2009. Have you seen my new black car? But surely, that's white.' you say. Of course. Are you colour blind? Oh - didn't you know white is the new black, my friend? For generations, people never wanted to drive a white car. Why? Because it was meant for the not so well-to-do folks - remember the white van man? Have you heard of ostentatious austerity? In times as grim as these, when economies are in recession, people like to be seen as parsimonious.'. Believe me. Even Rolls Royce. It rule...

Friday, September 11, 2009. Portugal Holiday [Aug 29 - Sep 4, 2009] - Vish Dhamija. Everything that could go wrong, did. The morning alarm didn't ring; we missed the train to the airport; forgot the navigator we had borrowed from a friend; dis-remembered. To pack swimsuits and totally missed carrying the paper-part [why do we have one? Of the UK Driving Licence, without which Hertz had clearly stated that they wouldn't give us the car. Is a must - the cafes. Resting place of Vasco. Mercifully, the Hertz ...

VERVE: Gems in My Neighbourhood: Vish Dhamija
http://vishdhamija.blogspot.com/2009/10/gems-in-my-neighbourhood-vish-dhamija.html
Saturday, October 24, 2009. Gems in My Neighbourhood: Vish Dhamija. Yes gems, if you like books [and art]. The Bookshop on the Heath sells second-hand, used, out-of-print and rare books, but that's not all. You can find posters, prints, postcards, magazines, old maps, art, et al. in the store. A visit to the shop takes you down memory lane of a bygone era when Sean Connery was Bond, James Bond. Even in these days of the Internet, Amazon. I strongly recommend every book lover to walk down Tranquil Vale.

Is called in to investigate a fire incident in the middle of the night at Mumbai's. Who said joining the dots was ever easy? Moves to London and continues. Friday, February 06, 2009.

Monday, August 16, 2010. Inception. Simplified: Vish Dhamija. Like all sci-fis, t. O begin with, you need to accept that it's possible to steal information from Johnny when he is asleep and dreaming. If you accept dream-burglary, you only need to push the boundary a little to agree it's possible to seed a new idea into Johnny's mind, while he dreams. If you are, now, on the same plane and convinced it is possible, I can begin explaining Inception. Rules of the game:. If you die in a dream, you wake up.
