It's just over a week that we’ve been in India and have already had the opportunity to see and experience some vibrant and interesting sounds and sights.

 Thanks to the power of technology, we are all well informed these days. But sometimes we can have a surfeit of information, and that’s also when there is a distinct possibility of misinformation leading to potential panic, with people not really knowing which source to believe.

Let's just say that I ordered a cup of coffee at my favourite coffee shop last week. If I know one thing about the coffee at that place, is that it's always spot on and made exactly the way that I like it - hot, very strong and with a nice design drawn on its surface. But this time it was even better, for it had a ‘smiley face’ on it. 

Baby ‘Falak’ passed away a couple of days ago. For those of you who might not have heard of her, this is the very same battered and bruised child who was brought to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, by a 15 year old girl claiming to be her mother.

Exploring new horizons is something that I’ve always believed in, and has been part of the journey of life as far as I’m concerned. Accordingly, moving from a career in advertising and public relations to the field of fiction writing was the first step.
