One week: At a glance I thought I’d give you a brief idea about my exercise and food schedule for a week just to show that it is neither extraordinary nor unachievable.
The Khana Conundrum
A few months ago I was approached by the foodie website http://www.itspotluck.com to write a "Two States" story about my life. I am a Bengali married to a Kashmiri Pandit. Since It's Potluck is a food and recipes website, the story had to be about food differences between the two of us and the impact those differences had on our lives. In truth, our food preferences are quite compatible. We have never had problems in regards to food. Please read this light-hearted account of my "Two States" story and for all you foodies out there...do visit http://www.itpotluck.com. It is a very good cooking resource. Here's the link to my story:- The Khana Conundrum

These words spoken by Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the first half of the movie and then later Tabu is the essence of Haider. Unfortunately, many of us have not been able to grasp the Weltanschauung of the movie.
Coming to America
The automatic airport doors opened only to drape me in the cold biting air. It had snowed only a week ago and the temperature was 30 below normal. But I was meeting my husband after spending two whole months with my in-laws. So, the stinging cold changed to warmth the moment we met. Well, actually the warmth I realized came from the car’s heating system, which, to my surprise, can be left running for as long as one wants to keep the passengers warm. Conserving energy? What is that all about? This is America.
