It’s been 13 years. Our favorite Taj West End was busy (I tried late), so we stayed at Windsor Manor, which is designed like a Regency manor but was built in 1980. A bungalow and estate called Baqarabad stood on the land before Windsor Manor was built. It belonged to Aga Ali Askar,...
I might have injured myself slightly. I had a bit of a shoulder and lat muscle sprain. So I took this week slow. I did one simple P.T. and otherwise walked around. Over the week, the pain has not reduced. I am a bit worried, especially because it’s on the left side. I...

It was my birthday week. I took the day off and didn’t do much. Anju took me to Mai Mai on MG Road. I loved the food. I also liked that we could sit outside. It’s rarely possible in Bangalore these days. It’s become so dusty. We went out for dinner the night...
