Hello everybody who stumbles upon this,
This website was a gift from Sudhish Kamath, who delights in concocting stalkers almost as much as he enjoys trashing bad movies. And dreaming up outrageous puns. (Hence the ‘sho-case’ 🙂 )
It’s a collection of my work and columns.
Since this is not an official blog, i also get to do fun stuff like add pictures, opinion and comments, blissfully oblivious to word counts and editors.
I’m not a very disciplined blogger, which means it’s sometimes sporadic – so please bear with me.
Thanks
Shonali

Dear Sonali, I am into venturing a exclusive culinary portal for Indian Food & Lifestyle. I am also planning to release a Culinary magazine. I am looking for writers, columnist to help with my Venture. Please let me know , if this is something you wil be interested to work with. Thank you.
i’ve been a delighted fan of two writers, you and indu balachandran, and i’ve already confessed to indu some time ago. this blog is a discovery!
( hardly call it stalking, though! )
thanks, shonali, you made my day.
and loved the kashmir experience.
bumped into your blog after i decided to follow the metrotweet breadcrumbs, pg. 8 on metroplus. I am more of a wordie than a foodie. Love your take and keeping it ‘satyameva jayate’ real.
sho-case huh… not chowcase? eeks. nothings reeks like a bad pun. not even petite muenster.
cheers/rp
Hi Shonali!
I am a complete foodie and I jus luv your reviews!! But I was wondering if you could review this great little restaurant nearby, Flamingo in Velachery ..It opened jus a few months back..
Ciao,
Madhu 🙂
Hi, nice to meet you !
Hey Shonali,
Formally speaking I joined that elite group of people who can proudly call themselves your stalker only today. But I have been your admirer for a long time now. It is my humble desire to meet you and accompany you on one of your reluctant gourmet trips to an unexplored restaurant in the city. Keeping my fingers crossed for that day to come. Until that will keep “stalking” you!!!
Yay! I’m fresh out of stalkers. Welcome to the club Kartik. ;o)

Hi Shonali! I love your blog and am interested in learning more about your work. I am based in the United States, but spend a lot of time in India and most of my writing is India-centric. I would love to touch base with you re blogging and writing… My email address is shainashealy@gmail.com.
Hi Shonali,
Just wanted to write to you and say I really enjoy reading your columns in metro plus especially your food reviews. I somehow feel when it comes to food and movies one can totally go blindly for the reviews in metro plus…I love the way you right, with the right amt of honesty and homour…keep up the good work.
Regards
Lalitha
I like your articles interestingly…..
