Maya to Become an Angel?

My boyfriend Rahul is royally pissed at me at the moment. Meant to be bound for snowy Kashmir to meet his folks for the very first time, I got cold feet, grabbed my passport and left for a sweltering weekend in the City of Angels instead. To be fair to me, what would you do if vivacious Kate, Bridget, Sibylle, & Katy beckoned? We launched our night at Soul Food on Sukhumvit 55, and later let an impertinent taxi man dock us at WTF on Sukhumvit 51. There was one glitch that went unnoticed thankfully; with an appropriate dose of Cosmopolitan in my system, my heart began to ache almost uncontrollably – yes, snubbing Rahul felt like a fatal blunder. Determined not to disrupt the delectable flow of the night, I managed to pull myself together. We shortly after galloped to The Nest on Sukhumvit 11 for a formidable closure. I’m twirling back to Delhi this evening and I’m fervently pleading with the Lord Shiva that Rahul will forgive me. Thank you, girl friends, for including me in such an Angels’ time. We did assemble one vigorous posse. Until later!

Blast from Recent Past: Last July



Sadly speaking, Cambodia and Thailand have been engaged in a fight over a temple that neither side ever gets to actually visit and appreciate. The two brotherly Kingdoms should take a leaf out of us 5 individuals. Saturday night, Phnom Penh collided with Bangkok big time. But this time, a big difference is there were no casualties to report. Only hotter-than-hot activities to record! Living and working in Phnom Penh, Niamh (pronounced as “Nieve”), Lauren, & Ella can certainly represent the city. While Katy & Joe are not bad as a voice from Bangkok. Seriously, Hun Sen and the new Thai PM (whoever that will be) should initiate a civilized intercourse over, say, a course of coconut martinis (buy 1 get 1 free!). Really, the way we see it - if fabulous cocktails cannot rescue us human race, nothing else ever will – Thonglor Soi 13 & Silom Soi 2, July 30, 2011.

Meanwhile, Annette and Randy are spending the same weekend in Phnom Penh. For one, it is a trip for fun. For the other, it is because of a visa run and of course of a need for fun!
