Sunday, August 23, 2009. One more Ganesh Chathurthi has come and gone. My earliest recollections of Ganesh puja was when I was about 8-10 years.

http://swethaiyer.blogspot.com/2008/10/portal-marriages-boon-or-bane.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Portal Marriages: Boon or Bane? The other day I read an article in paper which was all about the West rediscovering the "indian arranged marriage" system and extolling its great virtues etc etc. You ask me, I say any marriage works only when the concerned parties want to make it work. And its not just her, my younger sister, my best friend, the elder sister of another friend all seem to have come stuck at this point. The perfect groom simply seems to remain elusive. The maddne...

WhiteRays: Malayalam vs Tamil Cinema
http://swethaiyer.blogspot.com/2007/09/malayalam-vs-tamil-cinema.html
Tuesday, September 11, 2007. Malayalam vs Tamil Cinema. Having been homebound for sometime now and with enough clutter in the TV channels,watching movies suddenly has became very appealing. But I have to confess that am no longer in the rampant watch-any-movie age where I could digest anything from a Saajan to a Hero No 1 but clearly not also yet there to enjoy a Satyajit Ray or Pedro Almodvar movie.Anyways its regional cinema that I am talking here. Then there was this fantastic movie - Perumthachan.

WhiteRays: Miracle Moments
http://swethaiyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-miracle-moments.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2012. With wild gesticulations I tried to explain him the feeling of having two tiny feet pushing me from inside. The car moved on and the pushing stopped. I got an inkling then of how impatient my boy is going to turn out to be. :). Just re-living those memories makes me smile. What is that one moment that has moved you so much? Something that will remain etched in your memory, like carvings on a rock? Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Tuesday, 11 March, 2014. Tuesday, 11 March, 2014.
