Today at the supermarket I overheard a conversation between a young boy of about ten years old with his mom. They weren’t Thai and were most probably expats living in Bangkok. The young boy made such a funny and pleasant remark that I want to share it with you. As you know, ever since I…

Whenever I am traveling, I always try to find out where the farmers’ market is and make a note of visiting it. Many times I’d even plan the trip so that on Saturdays or Sundays I am in cities where there are markets. There’s something about walking around rows and rows of fresh food,…

It’s tough trying to be healthy all the time. Every now and then I succumb to magnum brownie ice-cream, donuts, scrumptious mud brownies with vanilla ice cream or any kind of spaghetti from pesto to carbonara. On weekends there are delicious buffets ranging from dim sum to Korean bbq to international buffets. Bangkok is a…

This morning, I went running. It’s been awhile, actually a couple of months since I’ve been running regularly. The past few weeks its been difficult to just squeeze in twice a week of running.

Tonight, I temporarily stop listening to news regarding flooding. It’s too depressing and it’s making me stressed. I know not when the water will come and at what level. Whatever happens, happens. Let it be. Let’s instead talk about a lighter topic today and continue on with the fourth myth. The myth that in order…

Many people think health comes along when you have another “half” another “soul” to be by your side. Some say “love” will make you lose weight, be healthy. There is some truth to it, but I think that is somewhat oversimplified. You do not need to have “someone” to get healthy. The only reason you…

The vegetarian festival is coming up soon in Bangkok and so if you are looking for somewhere that serves delicious vegetarian food, I recommend this little restaurant called “Thamna”. This literally translates to “farming” in Thai. It’s a lovely little eatery that opened up roughly two years ago and is very close to my office,…
