Movie - I watched (and loved) The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

I watched (and loved) The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel! Later on I checked a few critics online and noticed that not everyone liked the movie. Beyond the story – retired Britishers who can’t afford to stay in the UK and arrive in a hotel under construction in Rajasthan – I found that it depicted India quite accurately (at least one of the faces of India) and without clichés!...

Book - East of the Sun

I may have not written a lot lately but I haven’t stopped reading. And like often, my books are about India… In English, I just finished East of the Sun by Julia Gregson. Beyond the mushy romance (that I personally love and I’m not ashamed of it!), this book makes you travel in the twenties when you British girls were crossing the sea to go to India and marry officers....

I am baaaaack!

I haven’t written in a while. Many reasons… Work has taken too big a part in my life (in terms of time and complexity) and even if there are a lot of situations that could keep me busy writing about for years, I prefer not to discuss this online. Besides it didn’t leave me much time to write at all. My private life is a mess. But I'm holding on! Going with the flow... So...

About getting stranded and Indian hospitality

  Four days after I got my vehicle, I had a dinner with a client in Bab-el-Oued (more than 20 kilometers from my place). And at night. And everyone telling me that it is not safe in Delhi (not safe for a girl to drive, not safe to drive at night because of the drunks who drive crazy).   Blessed be my Blackberry and Google Map! I arrived at my destination safely, and only...
