A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
The word solitude often conjures up images and notions of being lonely and morose but that's far from the truth. The word is derived from the Latin word 'solus' meaning alone but as many of us have discovered, alone does not necessarily equal being lonely. Our lives, even the ones orchestrated and managed by us,... Continue Reading →
I muse. Often. And while I was musing over my life-sustaining elixir this morning, I realized that 2025 has really been the year of 'car conversations' for me. For the uninitiated, a 'car conversation' is simply a conversation that you have had while in a car or while someone else is in a car and... Continue Reading →
TO is studying psychology in high school. I use the word studying very lightly. The mere thought of studying and revising before exams acts better than a sedative ever could. And while he is reportedly awake, alert and participating in class; he does a very thorough impression of someone suffering from amnesia whenever he's asked... Continue Reading →
Last night my family and I sat down with a gift that TO's going to be giving it to a friend for her birthday. It's a fun game called Pun Intended. The way it works is this- there are flashcards with an image on one side. This image is meant to represent a phrase or... Continue Reading →
TO, who usually looks at venomous creatures and reptiles with cartoon hearts in his eyes, just bellowed for me from one end of the house. This time, it was because a SINGLE.TINY.LITTLE. SPARROW was sitting on the floor, in the middle of our dining room. The sparrow flitted from the floor to the dining table... Continue Reading →

Today the news contained this- Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath singer and godfather of heavy metal, dead at 76. Now I'm not a metalhead by any stretch of the imagination. Got into... Continue Reading →

Whether it had marketed itself as a scary movie or not, the storyline, acting, and build-up to the climax are loosely woven together. As a result, the movie falls down pretty quickly. The pace...

It's quite fitting that this particular post is centered around keeping calm and doing something; especially now. There has been turmoil in the world for a while now and it's recently come to our doorstep. Never a good thing even when we are sitting comfortably far away from the where the danger actually lies. But... Continue Reading →
I just read this article online. I had to express myself. My first reaction was a knee-jerk and rather annoyed one. However, my second reaction was more controlled and contemplative. My child is neurodivergent. But that's not all that he's about. He's an eye-rolling, shaggy-haired teen. He was the most beeyootiful baby in the whole... Continue Reading →
The family was playing Pictionary before dinner last night. TO decided to choose the Super Hard mode for generating the challenges. I mention this beforehand so there will be moderately less judging about why I gave the answer I did. TO was furiously drawing scenes of battle etc on the board and I in my... Continue Reading →
