I was in Chennai for my grandmother’s birthday on the 25th of May. But, the birthday was just an excuse. We caught up with all the cousins, assorted nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles.  The Chennai i know is very different from the Chenani that most people live in. For me, it is a place [...]

Dust Therapy

Posted by gargi on 01 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: And Finally ..., Diary

cheaper than retail therapy more friendly on your liver than alcohol therapy, not fattening like chocolate therapy ….dusting is a great way to bust out of the blues.
And today, on a Monday morning on less ….i used a broom, elbow grease and a dust cloth to drive away the blues, and the [...]
