A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I'm no Latin scholar but I can wield the search engines pretty effectively and know exactly which keywords I want. And what I wanted was something that meant, " The absurd makes sense", and Google delivered with Ratio in Absurdo viz the 'reason in the absurd'. Art by Jesus Hernandez Why this sudden foray into...

This isn't a history-related post but one entirely about the onset and eventual acceptance of one's middle age viz moi! I woke up feeling challenged to do atleast one thing that makes a difference in my life; however small. And I wanted to solve a problem; again however small and I did. What is miraculous...

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 →

And while this irritant has raised its annoying head on and off, there are certain days when the peeve gets elevated to a different status: in ALL CAPS, bold, italicised and underlined for good measure!...

In the world that Marie Kondo rules (in a manner of speaking), decluttering isn't merely something to be done; it can become a family activity of sorts while setting you free. Free from disarray, free from decisions about what goes where and why and ultimately free to move around your own space and feel good.... Continue Reading →
After I published yesterday's post, I kind of went down the AI-art rabbit hole. It's addictive like no one's business since it does keep challenging you to come up with more and better inputs for the software to generate an image that meets your directives. Having said that, it's irritatingly and yet interestingly falling short... Continue Reading →
