• Dhaka Diaries : A visit to the salon

  

  After spending one and a half months here, I finally decided to venture into a salon on the Thursday before last. I’d googled the ones close to home, read the reviews and eventually selected one. However, not too sure about how the salon would turn out to be, but knowing that I would have to…

• Mumbai Diaries : The countdown’s begun

  

  After four years in Mumbai (my husband completed 5 in July), we are moving again. We knew we would eventually move out, but we had no idea when and where. We’ve been waiting to know what’s next. Finally, we now have a date and a place and we’re excited. Fortunately, my husband and I love…
